Side note: the recording was done late 2023, which is why we reference drupa as being "next year."

As the first iCELiNK customer, Sendmoments has been able to automatically collect and visualize data from their Horizon finishing machines resulting in increased uptime. The addition of a new Horizon book production line has given them the capability to shorten turnaround times for short to medium run books.
