DuPont Electronics & Imaging’s Cyrel® FAST flexographic platemaking system increases pressroom productivity while reducing costs and requiring 63% less energy than legacy systems, with 54% fewer GHG emissions. Our FAST machines use a dry thermal technology for plate development, eliminating conventional solvents and aqueous washout solutions.

DuPont’s Spark Digital team is working on a project using machine learning to predict maintenance for FAST machines. Preventative maintenance helps keep the machines up and running, which in turn helps DuPont customers to better plan maintenance schedules and reduce downtime by avoiding emergency repairs.

We launched DuPont Spark Digital in 2019 to build momentum around enhancing our digital capabilities to optimize our strategic areas of our business—primarily Supply Chain & Manufacturing, but also in Customer Experience, R&D, and Support Function.
