title: 'OSHE Print Farm Automation'
description: 'The problem our team identified is the level of difficulty in producing a large quantity of prints. More specifically, it is inefficient to require human intervention at the beginning and end of each print. If this problem were addressed, it would allow the operator to queue several prints, leave, and return to collect the completed prints.'
