The Dscoop.com education session, “Simplify Automation Using AI to Create Switch Automation Scripts,” gave attendees a front-row seat to the future of connected print production. The session brought together experts from Enfocus and HP to show how AI and Node.js can automate the tedious work that often slows down print operations.
Using real-world examples, the presenters demonstrated how Enfocus Switch can securely communicate with HP PrintOS and other APIs, enabling seamless job data flow between systems. Instead of building complex scripts from scratch, participants learned how AI can assist in creating and refining Node.js code directly within Visual Studio Code — drastically reducing setup and integration time. The result: faster automation, fewer manual steps, and fewer errors in production.
The session also explored how AI-driven tools can help bridge the gap between IT teams and production managers. By using natural language prompts, teams can now describe the tasks they want automated and let AI generate working code snippets, creating a more collaborative, accessible approach to automation.
Another key insight was how open, modular workflows allow printers to scale automation as their business grows. By starting small — with simple scripts that handle repetitive tasks — and layering additional logic over time, print providers can evolve toward fully intelligent production environments without disrupting existing operations.
The takeaway was that AI is amplifying human workflow expertise. As the speakers showed, pairing Enfocus Switch with AI tools helps print professionals reclaim time, reduce costs and unleash creativity by letting technology handle the repetitive details.
