Abstract

The system consists of a network linking printing facilities and customers. The network contains at least one data processor into which can be written information about the free capacity of the printing facilities. Information about the printed products to be generated is written into the data processor from the customer side and the information is processed to determine in which print facility the product will be printed. Information about a future printing product is written into the data processing system in the form of a requirement profile. The information in the data processing system about the free capacity of the printing facilities is continually updated.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Informationsübertragungssystem gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an information transmission system according to the preamble of claim 1.

Heutzutage besteht ein zunehmender Trend zur Vernetzung von Rechnern in den einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen einer Druckerei. So ist es bekannt, daß Daten, die zur Steuerung jeweils einer Druckmaschine für jeweils einen Druckauftrag erforderlich sind, von einer zentralen Steuereinrichtung, an die mehrere Druckmaschinen angeschlossen sind, an eine der jeweiligen Druckmaschine zugeordnete Steuereinrichtung übertragen werden. Die einzelnen Datenbearbeitungsstationen sind dabei vorzugsweise als Personel-Computer ausgeführt. Mit einem solchen Netzwerk innerhalb einer Druckerei ist es insbesondere möglich, Daten für künftig auszuführende Druckauftrage zu bearbeiten und somit insbesondere die Auftragsauslastung der Druckerei zu optimieren. So beschreibt die DE 4 329 886 A1 ein Ablaufsteuerungssystem für Druckereien, bei welchen sowohl die momentan ablaufende als auch die künftig auszuführenden Produktionsprozesse überwachbar bzw. planbar sind.Nowadays, there is an increasing trend to network computers in the individual processing stations of a print shop. It is known, for example, that data required to control a printing press for each printing job is transmitted from a central control device, to which a plurality of printing presses are connected, to a control device assigned to the respective printing press. The individual data processing stations are preferably designed as personal computers. With such a network within a print shop, it is in particular possible to process data for print jobs to be carried out in the future and thus in particular to optimize the print shop's order utilization. For example, DE 4 329 886 A1 describes a sequence control system for printers, in which both the production processes currently being carried out and those to be carried out in the future can be monitored or planned.

Ein derartiges Datenmanagement innerhalb einer Druckerei über ein Netzwerk der beschriebenen Art ergibt wohl ein großes Potential an Effizienz, jedoch findet diese Effizienz derzeit ihre Grenzen darin, daß sowohl das Zustandekommen eines Druckauftrages, also die Vergabe eines Druckauftrages vom Kunden an die Druckerei sowie auch die Verteilung der Druckprodukte in sehr klassischer Weise geprägt ist. So kommt es oftmals zustande, daß eine Druckerei Aufträge ausführt, welche wohl eine hohe Auslastung hinsichtlich Arbeits- und Maschinennutzzeit darstellt, jedoch aufgrund des vorhandenen Maschinenparkes keine optimale Rendite bringt. Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt bedeutet dies, daß eine Druckerei, welche modernste Technik im Bereich Vorstufe, Druckerzeugung sowie Weiterverarbeitung aufweist einen in vereinbarter geringerer Qualität auszuführenden Druckauftrag erst gar nicht annehmen sollte, um Zeit zu sparen um einen die vorhandene Technik besser ausnutzenden Auftrag ausführen zu können.Such data management within a print shop via a network of the type described above has a great potential for efficiency, but this efficiency is currently limited by the fact that both the creation of a print job, i.e. the awarding of a print job by the customer to the print shop, and the distribution the print products are shaped in a very classic way. So it often happens that a print shop executes orders, which probably represent a high utilization in terms of work and machine usage time, but does not bring an optimal return due to the existing machine park. In other words, this means that a print shop that has the most modern technology in the area of prepress, pressure generation and further processing is one in an agreed should not accept a print job that is to be executed in a lower quality in order to save time in order to be able to carry out a job that better utilizes the existing technology.

Auch der Weg nach Entstehung eines Druckproduktes, die Weiterverarbeitung des gefertigten Druckproduktes ist in sehr klassischer Weise geprägt. So werden Druckprodukte oftmals an einem zentralen Ort - günstigster Anbieter - gefertigt und sodann an die verschiedenen Bestimmungsorte transportiert. Auch hierdurch fallen Kosten an, wobei Transport- und Verteilungskosten im Vordergrund stehen.The way after the creation of a printed product, the further processing of the finished printed product is also shaped in a very classic way. For example, printed products are often manufactured in a central location - cheapest supplier - and then transported to the various destinations. This also incurs costs, with transport and distribution costs in the foreground.

Bei der Kalkulation eines Preises eines Druckauftrages spielen neben den Materialkosten auch Qualitätsanforderungen und die Liefertermine sowie die zuvor angesprochenen Transport- bzw. Verteilungskosten eine wichtige Rolle. Bei dem beschriebenen klassischen Zustandekommen der Vergabe von Druckauftrages ist somit die Möglichkeit Angebote einzuholen begrenzt und ebenfalls die Möglichkeit Vergleiche anzustellen.When calculating a price for a print job, quality requirements and delivery dates as well as the previously mentioned transport or distribution costs play an important role in addition to the material costs. In the described classic way of awarding a print order, the possibility to obtain offers is limited and also the possibility to make comparisons.

Aus der DE-Z "Deutscher Drucker", Nr. 21-22/ 8.6.95, S w26 ff ist ein Druckereien und Kunden von Druckereien verbindendes Netzwerk bekannt, welches dazu dient, Bild- bzw. Druckdaten zu übertragen.From DE-Z "Deutscher Drucker", No. 21-22 / 8.6.95, S w26 ff, a network connecting printers and customers of printers is known, which serves to transmit image or print data.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Informationsübertragungsystem gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 derartig zu erweitern, so daß insbesondere die Kosten, Transportwege sowie Transportzeiten bei der Herstellung von Druckprodukten einerseits minimiert werden können und ebenfalls auch die Auslastung einer Druckerei optimiert werden kann.The object of the present invention is therefore to expand an information transmission system in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 such that, in particular, the costs, transport routes and transport times in the production of printed products can be minimized on the one hand and the utilization of a print shop can also be optimized.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Druckereien jeweils Schnittstellen zu einem Datenfernübertragungsnetz aufweisen, über welches freie Kapazitäten hinsichtlich zukünftig ausführbarer Druckaufträge in einem Speicher eines zentralen oder dezentralen aufgebauten Datenkommunikationsnetzes bereitgestellt werden können. Auf der anderen Seite weisen ebenfalls die potentiellen Kunden von Druckereien entsprechend ausgebildete Schnittstellen auf, vermittels denen Informationen über einen zukünftig auszuführenden Druckauftrag in das Datenkommunikationsnetz eingegeben werden. In wenigstens einem Rechner dieses Datenkommunikationsnetzes werden sodann die von den Kunden in das Netz eingegebenen Angebote für Aufträge gegen die von den Druckereien eingegebenen freien Kapazitäten verglichen, wobei nach noch weiter untenstehend genau erläuterten Anforderungsprofil der Druckauftrag an eine oder mehrere Druckereien verteilt vergeben wird, so daß der Druckauftrag hinsichtlich einer Optimierung von Zeit, Materialkosten sowie vereinbarter Qualität in bestmöglicher Weise ausführbar ist.According to the invention, it is provided that the printers each have interfaces to a remote data transmission network, via which free capacities with regard to print jobs that can be executed in the future can be provided in a memory of a central or decentralized data communication network. On the other The potential customers of print shops also have suitably trained interfaces by means of which information about a print job to be carried out in the future can be entered into the data communication network. In at least one computer of this data communication network, the offers for orders entered by the customers into the network are then compared against the free capacities entered by the print shops, the print order being distributed to one or more print shops according to the requirement profile explained in more detail below, so that the print job can be executed in the best possible way with regard to the optimization of time, material costs and agreed quality.

Gemäß einer einfachen Ausführungsform der Erfindung besitzen die potentiellen Kunden von Druckereien - z.B. Werbeagenturen - mit einem insbesondere als Personel-Computer ausgebildeten Rechner eine Software vermittels der die Vorlage für ein zu druckendes Bild erstellbar ist. Zudem werden auf diesem Rechner zusätzliche Parameter festgelegt, welche den Druckauftrag definieren. Hier sind insbesondere die Art des Bedruckstoffes, die Anzahl der zu druckenden Exemplare, die Druckqualität sowie die Ziele, an den die Druckexemplare dann verteilt werden sollen zu nennen. Diese beispielhaft zuvorstehend genannten Daten ergeben dann ein Anforderungsprofil für den auszuführenden Druckauftrag nach Art eines Rasters. Aus diesen Daten werden dann mittels der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Datenverarbeitungsanlage diejenigen Druckereien herausgesucht, welche für die Bearbeitung eines derartigen Druckauftrages in Frage kommen. Hierbei spielt insbesondere eine wichtige Rolle, daß auch die im Anforderungsprofil wiedergegebene Distribution des Druckproduktes mit berücksichtigt wird. Es wird somit bereits bei der Vergabe des Druckauftrages eine Verteilung des Auftrages vorgesehen, so daß vorzugsweise das Druckprodukt, welches später an mehreren Orten z.B. als Werbedrucksache vorgesehen ist, bereits in Druckereien erstellt wird, welche in größtmöglicher Nähe der Orte liegen, in denen dann die Verteilung zu erfolgen hat. Durch die Reduktion des Transportaufwandes ergibt sich ferner auch eine geringere Umweltbelastung.According to a simple embodiment of the invention, the potential customers of printers - e.g. Advertising agencies - with a computer designed in particular as a personal computer, software by means of which the template for an image to be printed can be created. In addition, additional parameters are defined on this computer, which define the print job. In particular, the type of substrate, the number of copies to be printed, the print quality and the destinations to which the printed copies should then be distributed are to be mentioned. These data mentioned above by way of example then result in a requirement profile for the print job to be executed in the manner of a raster. From these data, those printers are then selected by means of the data processing system designed according to the invention, which come into question for the processing of such a print job. It is particularly important here that the distribution of the printed product, which is reflected in the requirement profile, is also taken into account. A distribution of the order is thus already provided when the print order is awarded, so that preferably the print product, which will later be used at several locations e.g. is intended as an advertising printed matter, is already created in print shops that are as close as possible to the locations in which the distribution must then take place. The reduction in transport costs also results in a lower environmental impact.

In dem voranstehend beschriebenen Anforderungsprofil für ein künftiges Druckprodukt spielen bereits auch Qualitätsdaten des Druckauftrages eine Rolle. So kommen für extrem aufwendig gestaltete Druckprodukte naturgemäß nur Druckereien mit modernster Technik in Frage. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß bei der Informationsgewinnung,welche Druckerei hat den Auftrag auszuführen, mitberücksichtigt.Quality data of the print job already play a role in the requirement profile for a future print product described above. Naturally, only print shops with the most modern technology come for extremely elaborate print products in question. According to the invention, this is taken into account when obtaining information as to which print shop has to carry out the job.

Das Informationsübertragungsystem der erfindungsgemäßen Datenverarbeitung ist dabei vorzugsweise eine relational aufgebaute und insbesondere verteilte Datenbank, in welcher die angeschlossenen Druckereien ständig bzw. von Zeit zu Zeit aktualisiert Informationen über künftig vorhandene freie Kapazitäten eintragen. In der zuvor beschriebenen relational aufgebauten Datenbank sind ferner auch Informationen enthalten, welche wiedergeben, über welche Technik bzw. technische Möglichkeiten sowie personelle Qualifikation die jeweiligen Druckereien verfügen. Darunter sind insbesondere Informationen zu verstehen, aus denen entnehmbar ist, welche Formatbereiche, welche Grammaturen, wie viele und welche Farben und sonstige Techniken der Weiterverarbeitung in der jeweiligen Druckerei verarbeitet werden können. Das von dem Druckereikunden entsprechend dem herzustellenden Bild erstellte Anforderungsprofil wird nun in der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Datenverarbeitung im Sinne einer SQL-Datenbankabfrage verrechnet (SQL = Sequence Querry Language).The information transmission system of the data processing system according to the invention is preferably a relationally constructed and, in particular, distributed database, in which the connected printers enter information about future available capacities continuously or from time to time. The relationally constructed database described above also contains information that reflects which technology or technical possibilities and personnel qualifications the respective printers have. This is to be understood in particular as information from which it can be seen which format ranges, which grammages, how many and which colors and other techniques of further processing can be processed in the respective printing house. The requirement profile created by the print shop customer in accordance with the image to be produced is now calculated in the data processing designed according to the invention in the sense of an SQL database query (SQL = Sequence Query Language).

Entsprechend der zuvor geschilderten Ausführungsform der Erfindung erfolgt die Auswahl und Verteilung des Druckauftrages in digitaler Weise über ein insbesondere weltweit verbundenes Netzwerk. Die Verteilung der Druckvorlage an die entsprechend nach optimalen Kriterien herausgefilterten Druckereien kann dann noch auf herkömmliche Weise erfolgen. Hier sei als Beispiel die Versendung eines digitalen Bilddatenträgers, eines hergestellten Proofs oder dergleichen genannt. Selbstverständlich ist es unter Anwendung der Erfindung ebenfalls möglich, das zu druckende Bild selbst über den Kanal der Datenfernübertragung an die eine oder mehrere gemäß dem Auswahlkriterium herausgefilterten Druckerei zu senden. Die eine oder mehrere Druckereien werden dann aus den empfangenen digitalen Daten entsprechend der technischen Ausstattung der in der Druckerei vorhandenen Vorstufe Druckträger bzw. Druckplatten erstellen. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, daß auch Druckaufträge ausgeführt werden, welche digitale Bilddaten direkt an die Druckmaschine weitergeben (Computer to Press Technologie).In accordance with the previously described embodiment of the invention, the selection and distribution of the print job is carried out digitally via a network, in particular connected worldwide. The distribution of the print template to the printers filtered out according to optimal criteria can then still take place in a conventional manner. The sending of a digital image data carrier, a produced proof or the like may be mentioned here as an example. Of course, using the invention, it is also possible to send the image to be printed itself via the remote data transmission channel to the one or more printers filtered out according to the selection criterion. The one or more printers will then create print media or printing plates from the received digital data in accordance with the technical equipment of the prepress in the printer. Of course, it is also possible that print jobs are also carried out which forward digital image data directly to the printing press (computer to press technology).

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann ebenfalls vorgesehen sein, daß in der vorgesehenen Datenverarbeitung, also in dem bereitgestellten Informationspool auch Werkzeuge und Objekte den Kunden von Druckereien zur Verfügung gestellt werden, vermittels denen diese Kunden die Vorlage für ein zu druckendes Bild nebst Text und anderen Informationen erstellen. Bevorzugt findet hier eine Datenbank Verwendung, in der sowohl Bild als auch Textelemente als Objekttypen abgelegt sind, die dann mit einer Bild- und Textverarbeitung miteinander verbunden werden können. Hierbei kann ebenfalls vorgesehen sein, daß durch eine weitere Software-Anwendung nach Erstellung der Druckvorlage automatisch ermittelt wird, welche Qualitätskriterien für das zu erstellende Produkt wesentlich sind. Die die Qualität des künftigen Druckproduktes wiedergebenden Anforderungsmerkmale sind somit automatisch ableitbar.According to a further development of the invention, it can also be provided that tools and objects are also made available to the customers of printers in the data processing provided, that is to say in the information pool provided, by means of which these customers provide the template for an image to be printed along with text and other information create. A database is preferably used here, in which both image and text elements are stored as object types, which can then be connected to one another using image and text processing. It can also be provided that a further software application automatically determines which quality criteria are essential for the product to be created after the print template has been created. The requirements that reflect the quality of the future print product can thus be derived automatically.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße und insbesondere weltweite Vernetzung zwischen Kunden von Druckereien einerseits und den Druckereien selbst andererseits ist ferner auch eine stärkere Individualisierung bei der Herstellung von Druckprodukten möglich. So kann insbesondere ein in verschiedenen Ländern zu verteilendes und auch Text enthaltenes Druckprodukt mit entsprechend der Landessprache abgefaßten Text erstellt werden. Auch hier macht es sich besonders bevorzugt bemerkbar, daß zunächst eine Verteilung des Druckauftrages und insbesondere auch der Bilddaten selbst stattfindet und erst im anschließenden Schritt die Erstellung des Druckauftrages erfolgt. Es entfällt also die Erstellung eines Druckauftrages an einem zentralen Ort sowie die sich daran anknüpfende und kostenverursachende Verteilung sowie der Transport der bedruckten Exemplare.The inventive and, in particular, worldwide networking between customers of print shops on the one hand and the print shops themselves on the other hand also enables greater individualization in the production of print products. In particular, a printed product to be distributed in different countries and also containing text can be created with text written in the national language. Here, too, it is particularly preferred that the print job and in particular also the image data itself are distributed, and that the print job is not created until the subsequent step. So there is no need to create a print job at a central location, as well as the associated and cost-intensive distribution and transport of the printed copies.
