Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Die Erfindung betrifft zudem ein Gebinde der graphischen Weiterverarbeitung.The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a container of graphic processing.

In der graphischen Industrie werden bei der Weiterverarbeitung von Druckprodukten und Druckvorprodukten zahlreiche unterschiedliche Gebinde verwendet. Beispielsweise sind solche Gebinde Bündel, Paletten, Papierstangen oder Roll-Ständer. Mit solchen Gebinden werden die Druckprodukte oder Druckvorprodukte von einer Bearbeitungsstation zur anderen oder auch zum Versand transportiert. Solche Gebinde müssen in der Regel gekennzeichnet werden. Mit einer solchen Kennzeichnung soll insbesondere der Inhalt des Gebindes spezifiziert werden. Zusätzlich kann eine solche Kennzeichnung aber auch Angaben über den Träger des Gebindes, beispielsweise über einen Roll-Ständer enthalten. Die Angaben betreffen beispielsweise die Art der Produkte, die Anzahl der Produkte, das Druckdatum, den Auftraggeber oder eine Anschrift, an welche das Gebinde geliefert werden soll.In the graphics industry, many different containers are used in the further processing of printed products and pre-printed products. For example, such bundles are bundles, pallets, paper bars or roll stands. With such containers, the printed products or printed products are transported from one processing station to another or even for shipping. Such containers usually have to be marked. With such a label in particular the contents of the container should be specified. In addition, such a label may also contain information about the carrier of the container, for example about a roll stand. The information relates, for example, to the type of products, the number of products, the date of printing, the client or an address to which the container is to be delivered.

Als Träger für die genannte Kennzeichnung wurden bisher Zettel verwendet, auf denen die gewünschte Information in visuell lesbarer Schrift oder auch als Strichcode aufgetragen wird - siehe dazu das Dokument EP-A-1033695 . Die Zettel werden am Gebinde befestigt, beispielsweise angeklebt und zu gegebener Zeit wieder entfernt. Müssen sehr viele Gebinde gekennzeichnet werden, so ist die Handhabung dieser entsprechend zahlreichen Zettel sehr aufwendig. Auch eine maschinelle Verarbeitung hat sich als vergleichsweise aufwendig herausgestellt.Previously, slips were used as the carrier for the said marking, on which the desired information in visually readable font or even as a bar code is applied - see the document EP-A-1033695 , The labels are attached to the container, for example, glued and removed in due course. If very many containers have to be marked, the handling of these correspondingly numerous pieces of paper is very complicated. Even a machine processing has proven to be relatively expensive.

Anstelle der Zettel ist auch die Verwendung von Transpondern bekannt, welche mit den erforderlichen Informationen versehen werden. Diese Transponder können mit geeigneten Geräten gelesen werden, was die maschinelle Verarbeitung selbstverständlich vereinfacht. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass die im Transponder gespeicherten Informationen visuell nicht erkennbar sind. Es muss somit immer ein geeignetes Gerät vorhanden sein, damit der am Gebinde angebrachte Transponder gelesen werden kann.Instead of the slip is also the use of transponders known, which are provided with the required information. These transponders can be read with suitable devices, which of course simplifies machine processing. The disadvantage, however, is that the information stored in the transponder is visually unrecognizable. Thus, a suitable device must always be available so that the transponder attached to the container can be read.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der genannten Art zu schaffen, das eine einfachere Kennzeichnung von Gebinden der graphischen Weiterverarbeitung ermöglicht. Das Verfahren soll weitgehend maschinell durchführbar sein und auch ohne Lesegerät verständliche Informationen vermittel können.The invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, which allows a simpler labeling of containers of graphic processing. The method should be largely feasible by machine and can convey understandable information even without a reader.

Die Aufgabe ist von einem gattungsgemässen Verfahren dadurch gelöst, dass der Träger als Display ausgebildet ist.The object is achieved by a generic method in that the carrier is designed as a display.

Unter Display wird ein elektronisches Anzeigemittel verstanden, das ein Feld für eine wechselbare visuelle Anzeige besitzt und das mit einem geeigneten Gerät beschriftet als auch gelesen werden kann. Ein solches Display, z.B., aus dem Dokument JP-A-2001 015 264 bekannt. Eine Änderung der Beschriftung ist jederzeit möglich. Eine Information kann korrigiert, ergänzt oder gelöscht werden. Dies ist auch ohne weiteres drahtlos möglich und kann von einer zentralen Schreibeinheit aus erfolgen. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens bzw. des erfindungsgemassen Gebindes besteht darin, dass wenigstens ein Teil der Information visuell erkennbar ist. Werden zur Handhabung eines solchen Gebindes Informationen über den Inhalt benötigt, so sind diese ohne weiteres und ohne Verwendung eines Gerätes am Display ablesbar. Trotzdem ist wie oben erwähnt ein Korrigieren und Ändern der Beschriftung und der Information ohne weiteres maschinell bzw. elektronisch möglich. Die Bewirtschaftung der Kennzeichnung von Gebinden wird damit ohne Nachteil maschinell und sehr rationell möglich.Display is understood to mean an electronic display device which has a field for a replaceable visual display and which can be labeled as well as read by a suitable device. Such a display, for example, from the document JP-A-2001 015 264 known. A change of the label is possible at any time. Information can be corrected, supplemented or deleted. This is also possible without further wireless and can be done from a central writing unit. An essential advantage of the method according to the invention or of the container according to the invention is that at least part of the information is visually recognizable. If information about the content is required for handling such a container, then it can be easily read on the display without using a device. Nevertheless, as mentioned above, correcting and changing the label and information is readily possible by machine or electronic means. The management of the labeling of containers is thus mechanically and very efficiently possible without detriment.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist ein solches Display gleichzeitig visuell lesbare Informationen und lediglich maschinell lesbare Informationen auf. Das Display enthält somit ein Teil der Information als visuell lesbare Schrift und ein anderer Teil als elektronisch gespeicherte Information. Dadurch kann die visuell lesbare Schrift auf die wesentlichen Angaben beschränkt werden. Die elektronisch gespeicherten und lediglich maschinell lesbare Information kann Angaben enthalten, welche visuell nicht erkennbar sein müssen oder sollen. Das Display kann beispielsweise Informationen in der Form eines Strichcodes enthalten. Ein solcher Strichcode kann bekanntlich nur maschinell gelesen werden. Die gewünschten Informationen können somit in konventioneller und ohne Lesegerät verständlicher Form angeschrieben werden und trotzdem ist eine sehr rationelle maschinelle Verarbeitung möglich.According to a development of the invention, such a display simultaneously has visually readable information and only machine-readable information. The display thus contains part of the information as visually readable writing and another part as electronically stored information. As a result, the visually readable font can be limited to the essential information. The electronically stored and only machine-readable information may contain information which need not or must not be visually recognizable. For example, the display may contain information in the form of a bar code. As is well known, such a barcode can only be read by machine. The needed information can thus be written in conventional and without reading device understandable form and still a very efficient machine processing is possible.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Display ein E-Papier oder eine E-Folie. Ein solches Display wird in dem Dokument EP-A-1 014 141 beschrieben. Solche Displays sind an sich bekannt. Sie eignen sich für diese Anwendung, weil sie kostengünstig und ähnlich wie ein Zettel am Gebinde befestigbar sind. Sie können durch organische Schaltkreise angesteuert werden. Für die Kennzeichnung eines Gebindes eignen sie sich besonders, da sie wie erwähnt ähnlich eines Zettels oder einer Etikette verwendbar sind. Sie haben den weiteren Vorteil, dass sie wiederholt verwendet werden können und dass sie auch elektronisch korrigiert, ergänzt und gelöscht werden können. Anstelle eines E-Papiers oder einer E-Folie kann auch ein Display mit einer an sich bekannten Flüssigkristallanzeige verwendet werden.According to a development of the invention, the display is an e-paper or an e-foil. Such a display appears in the document EP-A-1 014 141 described. Such displays are known per se. They are suitable for this application, because they are inexpensive and similar to a piece of paper attachable to the container. They can be controlled by organic circuits. They are particularly suitable for the marking of a container since, as mentioned, they can be used similarly to a label or a label. They have the further advantage that they can be used repeatedly and that they can also be electronically corrected, supplemented and deleted. Instead of an E-paper or an E-foil, a display with a known liquid crystal display can also be used.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1
schematically a container according to the invention and
Fig. 2
schematically a view of a carrier.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt ein Gebinde 1, das eine sog. Stange ist, die eine Mehrzahl von Druckprodukten 2 oder solche Druckvorprodukte aufweist, die mittels zwei Endplatten 9 in an sich bekannter Weise umreift zusammengehalten sind. Die Druckprodukte 2 sind beispielsweise Druckbogen, Broschüren, Zeitschriften, Zeitungen oder dergleichen. Das Gebinde 1 kann jedoch beispielsweise auch als Palette, als Bündel, Rolle oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein.The Fig. 1 shows a container 1, which is a so-called. Bar having a plurality of printed products 2 or such printed precursors, which are held together by means of two end plates 9 in a conventional manner. The printed products 2 are for example printed sheets, brochures, magazines, Newspapers or the like. However, the container 1 may for example be formed as a pallet, as a bundle, roll or the like.

Auf einem oder beiden Endplatten 9 ist aussenseitig ein Display 3 befestigt. Die Befestigung des Displays 3 an der Endplatte 9 kann auch lösbar bzw. auswechselbar gestaltet sein. Beispielsweise ist das Display 3 in einen hier nicht gezeigten Träger eingeschoben. Das Display 3 kann aber auch an der Endplatte 9 angeklebt oder beispielsweise mittels eines Klettbandes lösbar befestigt sein.On one or both end plates 9, a display 3 is mounted on the outside. The attachment of the display 3 to the end plate 9 can also be made detachable or replaceable. For example, the display 3 is inserted into a carrier, not shown here. The display 3 can also be glued to the end plate 9 or releasably secured, for example by means of a Velcro.

Das Display 3 weist gemäss Fig. 2 ein Anzeigefeld auf, das beispielsweise durch eine an sich bekannte Flüssigkristallanzeige gebildet ist. Das Display 3 wird durch einen Schaltkreis 8 angesteuert, der es ermöglicht, die Anzeige 4 zu beschriften, zu ändern und wieder zu löschen. Dies kann drahtlos erfolgen mit einem an sich bekannten Gerät. Die Anzeige 4 kann beispielsweise mit einer visuell lesbaren Schrift 5 beschriftet sein. Die Schrift 5 enthält beispielsweise Informationen über die Art der Druckprodukte 2, deren Anzahl, ein Datum oder/und eine Anschrift für die Zustellung des Gebindes 1. Die Anzeige 4 kann zudem einen Strichcode 6 enthalten, der in an sich bekannter Weise maschinell lesbar ist. Weiter kann das Display 3 mit einem Speicher 7 versehen sein, der elektronische Informationen enthält, die lediglich mit einem Gerät lesbar und veränderbar sind. Das Display 3 kann auch durch ein an sich bekanntes E-Papier oder eine E-Folie gebildet sein und der Schaltkreis 8 kann ein organischer Schaltkreis sein. Der organische Schaltkreis 8 bildet mit dem Display 3 eine Einheit. Das Display 3 mit dem integrierten organischen Schaltkreis 8 kann flexible sein und ähnlich einem Zettel auf das Gebinde 1 aufgeklebt oder sonst wie haftend angebracht werden. Die Information der Schrift 5 oder Pictogramme können jederzeit ohne Gerät visuell gelesen oder verstanden werden. Beispielsweise ist diese Schrift 5 eine Anschrift, welche den Zustellungsort des Gebindes 1 angibt. Der Strichcode 6 enthält beispielsweise Informationen, die visuell nicht erkennbar sein müssen, die aber mit einem ansich bekannten Gerät lesbar sind. Der Speicher 7 kann weitere Informationen enthalten, die beispielsweise lediglich dem Inhaber des Gebindes 1 zugänglich sind. Das Display 3 ermöglicht es somit, Informationen in unterschiedlicher Art zu verarbeiten. Vorzugsweise können sämtliche Informationen geändert und ersetzt werden. Im Speicher 7 können aber auch Informationen enthalten sein, die nicht gelöscht werden können.The display 3 shows according Fig. 2 a display panel formed by, for example, a conventional liquid crystal display. The display 3 is controlled by a circuit 8, which makes it possible to label the display 4, change and delete again. This can be done wirelessly with a device known per se. The display 4 may be labeled, for example, with a visually readable font 5. The font 5 contains, for example, information about the type of printed products 2, their number, a date or / and an address for the delivery of the container 1. The display 4 may also contain a bar code 6, which is machine readable in a conventional manner. Further, the display 3 may be provided with a memory 7 containing electronic information that can be read and changed only with a device. The display 3 may also be formed by a per se known E-paper or an E-foil and the circuit 8 may be an organic circuit. The organic circuit 8 forms a unit with the display 3. Display 3 with integrated organic circuit 8 can be flexible and glued similar to a note on the container 1 or otherwise attached as sticky. The information of font 5 or pictograms can be visually read or understood at any time without a device. For example, this font 5 is an address indicating the delivery of the container 1. The bar code 6 contains, for example, information that does not have to be visually recognizable but that can be read by a device known per se. The memory 7 may contain further information, for example, only the owner of the container 1 are accessible. The display 3 thus makes it possible to process information in different ways. Preferably, all information can be changed and replaced. In the memory 7 but also information may be included, which can not be deleted.
