S Series roll cutters
GoSign
Vinyl and printed graphics cut direct from Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW, with camera recognition, action sets, material profiles and a job log.
Summa software
Learn it once. It runs every machine you buy.
Summa write their own software in house. The GoSuite family uses the same workflow across the whole equipment range, so a team that can run a flatbed can run a laser or a roll cutter without being retrained. It ships with the machine rather than being an extra you find out about later.
F Series and V Series flatbeds
GoProduce
Flatbed workflow: tooling and module recognition, material profiles, action sets, barcode automation and production setup.
L Series laser systems
GoProduce Laser
Laser workflow: camera profiles, trace and cut from the vision system, material management, cut to frame for SEG and waste cut.
Automation and integration
GoConnect
Links the cutter to ERP, third party automation, feeders, stackers and the rest of the production system.
Production management
GoData
Records production in real time: job data, shift and material trends, and an open API for your own dashboards.
Packaging design
M3 and M3 ART
Parametric design for sample making and packaging, sold alongside the V Series.
Which software, which machine
One platform, an edition for each machine.
The edition follows the machine, and each one works the same way: material profiles, action sets and a job log. The Pro Packs are a one-off purchase and add the automation features.

Software names, editions and features are Summa’s own. GoSign and GoProduce Laser Edition are available from Summa with a thirty day trial. What is included with a given machine is confirmed in the quotation.
What changes on the floor
Four things that take time out of every job.
None of these rely on an operator remembering a setting. They are why two people on different shifts get the same result from the same file.
Material Manager
A profile per material holding speed, pressure, tool and depth. Choose the material and the settings load. On the flatbeds the profile exports as an XML file and moves to every other machine you run.
Action sets
A job sequence reduced to one click, configured to the way you work. New operators run the same sequence as experienced ones.
Barcode automation
The machine reads the barcode on the sheet or roll and loads the right file, settings and material itself. A roll of mixed jobs runs without anyone standing over it. On the F Series Vantage an ethernet connected camera does the reading.
Job log
Every job sent to the machine is recorded, which gives you post-costing, uptime, traceability and something an ERP or MIS system can read.
Advanced software
Production data and integration.
Two products rather than two features. Both are worth deciding on before the machine arrives, because they change what the rest of the factory can see and do.
GoData
Records what the machine is producing and makes the pattern visible rather than anecdotal.
- Real time production monitoring
- Job data analysed across shifts and materials
- Performance trends and machine utilisation
- Bottlenecks identified before they escalate
- Open API into your own dashboards
GoConnect
Connects the cutter to everything around it, so the flatbed is not an island at the end of the print process.
- ERP and MIS systems
- Third party automation
- Feeders and stackers
- Wider production workflow and handling
- Open protocols, so integrations do not need an overhaul
Design software
Packaging design with M3 and M3 ART
Parametric design software for sample making and packaging: change a dimension and the whole construction redraws. Particularly relevant to V Series users, where most of this work sits.
M3Over 600 parametric models covering folding cartons, corrugated packaging and displays.
M3 ARTMore than 2,000 models, including three dimensional objects, with an Adobe Illustrator plug-in for designers working in their own tools.
Where it fitsSample making and short runs, where the cutting table replaces a die and the design changes between jobs.
Bring a job, not a brochure.
Send the artwork and the material and we will run it on the demonstration machine in West Yorkshire. Dennison then handle machine setup, the first material profiles, operator training, workflow setup and software configuration.
