System Digital opens new industrial paths through advanced digital printing innovation

When digital printing becomes a strategic asset, companies look for partners who can combine experience, precision and long-term vision. This is the space in which System Digital, a Coesia brand established in 2016 in Fiorano Modenese, Italy, positioned itself from the start. Born within a mature industrial culture, it grew with a clear idea in mind: take solid technical expertise and apply it where new materials and new production needs demand a different kind of innovation.

Over time, this approach has shaped a path that moves naturally from proven know-how to new sectors and applications.

Understanding System Digital’s origin

System Digital did not arise in a vacuum. Its origins are intertwined with the long-standing expertise of a major industrial player renowned worldwide for its leadership in automation and digital decoration. This background offered a unique starting point. The technological foundations were solid, the know-how vast, and the culture of innovation deeply ingrained.

Yet System Digital was created with a different mission. While the parent company continues to excel in its historic specialization, System Digital extends that excellence into new contexts. It embraces industries that require similar precision, reliability and digital intelligence, but which had not yet fully benefitted from the most advanced single-pass printing technologies. In this sense, System Digital represents both continuity and expansion. It draws from a powerful heritage while venturing into unexplored ground, developing solutions specifically tailored for automotive glass, special vehicles, appliances and, most recently, tableware.

A journey marked by strategic growth and diversification

System Digital’s trajectory is defined by milestones that illustrate its steady rise in relevance and recognition.

In 2016, the company was officially established. Three years later, its first digital printing machine entered an automotive OEM production line, proving its suitability for environments where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. By 2022, the launch of Creaglass 1.4 introduced new capabilities, including the handling of UV-R inks.

The following year marked its entry into the home appliance sector. By 2025, System Digital counted more than ten high-end installations among major global manufacturers, confirming the maturity of its technology. That same year, the company expanded into yet another industry: tableware, culminating in the creation of Creaware.

These achievements are supported by a solid foundation of innovation. System Digital holds 41 patents and operates with certified quality and safety management systems under ISO 9001 and ISO 45001.

Creaglass: high-performance digital printing for glass

Creaglass is the technology that first positioned System Digital as a benchmark in digital glass decoration. Designed as a single-pass, drop-on-demand system, it combines high speed with meticulous precision. Its ultra-high-resolution Dimatix 777 printheads, operating at 777 DPI, ensure uniform coverage and minimize defects, even on large or irregular formats. The machine adapts easily to different shapes, sizes and inclinations, offering manufacturers maximum flexibility.

A significant strength of Creaglass lies in its advanced intelligence. The Creavision E-View system analyzes each piece in real time and synchronizes its exact position with the print data through CoreXpress, allowing for accurate image placement and reduced waste. The platform integrates four ink recirculation systems and automated cleaning cycles that guarantee stable performance in continuous production.

The Creaglass family includes models such as Creaglass 1.4, Creaglass 2.1 and Creaglass-X, each designed to address specific production requirements across automotive OEM, AGR, special vehicles, appliances and related applications. Its capabilities make it a reliable partner for manufacturers who demand repeatability, speed and high definition.

Creaware: a new frontier in tableware decoration

2025 introduced a new chapter with Creaware, System Digital’s first machine dedicated to tableware. This sector demands both artistic refinement and industrial discipline, and Creaware was developed to meet both needs.

It integrates high-resolution Seiko RC1536 printheads, combined with Creavision for perfect auto-centering on each piece. The machine offers a printing width up to 400 millimeters, production speeds up to 25 meters per minute and support for items with heights up to 80 millimeters. Its four independent ink recirculation systems ensure constant flow and prevent sedimentation, resulting in optimal performance and reduced ink consumption.

Creaware brings together technical accuracy, productive efficiency and aesthetic versatility, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers who want to enrich their portfolios with high-value, fully digital decoration.

Serving strategic markets with tailored expertise

System Digital addresses segments where high technical standards are essential. Automotive OEM manufacturers expect uncompromising quality, robust process control and rapid global support. AGR and special-vehicle producers require a system capable of switching quickly between diverse formats and small batches without inefficiencies. Appliance manufacturers, on the other hand, demand multicolor capability, detailed graphics and cost-effective production.

These requirements are met through a unique combination of skills. System Digital’s R&D team works across sectors, developing custom waveforms, optimizing printhead performance and ensuring seamless integration between mechanical, electronic and digital components. Its expertise in vision systems, ink management and internal development of centering technologies gives clients access to highly customized, application-specific solutions.

Global support strengthens every installation

System Digital benefits from a worldwide structure composed of 20 international branches, allowing the company to provide timely support in multiple languages and cultures. This network is reinforced by in-house laboratories and technical facilities that support training, testing and continuous development. Manufacturers can rely on preventive maintenance programs, specialized consulting and rapid response times that help safeguard productivity and process stability.
