Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing printed products into printed products in batches of the following different production orders in a production plant in parallel connected production lines, consisting of conveyor-linked processing machines and / or devices that are equipped for a production order change and / or retrofit.
- Some of the production systems used in print finishing are very complex and are made up of individual parts of the plant, respectively. Processing machines assembled. The order in which the processing machines are arranged is given by the processing to be performed on the products. The available processing machines can have very different service offers. In the case of large differences in performance, the economic efficiency can under certain circumstances be substantially increased if the product flow in the area of slower processing machines is divided into several parallel production lines and if necessary, respectively. if necessary, be brought together again.
- manufacturing facilities are known, which consist of a bookbinding line and several downstream in production lines arranged parallel trimmers, stackers, Foliermaechinen etc. It is also conceivable to combine two parallel collation lines on a binding line.
- a conversion from a product to the subsequent product takes place at the earliest after the last copy of a current production order has left a first processing section, and the production commencement with the subsequent production order does not begin until all parts of the system on this subsequent Production order have been converted.
- several people are available for a production change so that several processing machines of a production line can be converted at the same time.
- these individuals are not fully trained so that each person is only able to convert a particular manufacturing machine or group of machines.
- the duration of the entire changeover process is therefore determined by the plant components with the largest changeover time. In most cases, this is the changeover time of multiple processing machines present in the plant because, for example, only a single person is trained to convert several processing machines.
- the pre-published US Pat. No. 6,572,702 B1 relates to a method and an apparatus for producing carriers, in particular printed circuit boards with printed circuits, which are produced on several parallel production lines. In this production system, individual machines of one production line can be moved to another production line.
- the in the Fig. 1 Production plant 1 shown has an input 2 for the supply of printed products and an output 3 for the removal of printed products to be processed in the production plant 1.
- the printed products are processed into printed products via several production stages. The flow of products takes place in the direction of the arrows from left to right.
- Each manufacturing stage a ... l is assigned at least one processing machine A ... L. Since the maximum output of the manufacturing plant 1 is determined by the maximum output of the manufacturing stage a... 1 with the lowest maximum output, its maximum output can be increased by processing machines A... L arranged in parallel in a production stage a. In a production plant 1 balanced in terms of performance, each production stage would therefore have approximately the same maximum output.
- L on the performance of the entire production line 1 is the smaller, the more such processing machines A ... L are connected in parallel in a manufacturing stage a ... l. For example, if a processing machine A, D, E, F, L has to be stopped, the power is 0 since these processing machines are present only once. A failure of a processing machine I, K, however, reduces the performance of the manufacturing plant 1 by 25%, provided that the performance of the manufacturing plant 1 is limited by the processing machines I, K. However, if three remaining processing machines I, K still have sufficient power reserve, production can continue to produce without loss of performance.
- Fig. 2 the production plant 1 is shown as an in a line serially linked production lines 1st ranking 4.1 ... 4.5.
- the production lines 1 ruling 4.1... 4.5 extend over the production sections u... Y and consist either of processing machines A, D, E, F, L arranged in the production plant 1 or of production lines arranged in parallel 2.
- Ranking 5.1. .5.3 wherein the directly following processing machines D, E, F are summarized as a single production line 1.
- Ranking 4.3. A production line 1.
- Ranking parallel existing groups of processing machines form production lines 2nd Ranking 5.1 ... 5.3. This concerns the production sections v, x.
- the production lines 2 ruling 5.2,5.3 in the manufacturing section x are formed by the parallel processing machines G 1 , H 1 and G 2 , H 2 and parallel production lines 3rd ranking 6.
- Each branch within a production line leads to higher-level production lines and each merge 8 to lower-level production lines.
- the number of branches of a branch 7 or combination 8 of lines of different ranking can assume any values.
- the method is not limited to production lines 1 with production lines of the highest rank order number 3, but the rank order number can have any values.
- the processing machines I 1 , K 1 and I 4 , K 4 are converted to the production order P 2 and the processing machines I 2 , K 2 and I 3 , K 3 , which continue to be involved in the production order P 1 , now each form a production line 2 5.3.
- the performance of the production plant 1 will generally decline slightly.
- the phase 2 is shown with the duration t 2 .
- the parallel production lines 2nd order 5.1 ... 5.3 are converted to the next production order P 2 except for one production line 2nd order.
- the still busy with the production order P 1 production lines to production lines 1 ranking From each type of processing machine A ...
- the maximum production output of the manufacturing plant 1 is determined by the processing machine A ... L having the lowest maximum output.
- the production lines A, D, E, F, L converted to the production order P 2 .
- no production is possible.
- the production plant 1 is ready for the subsequent production order P 2 .
- the maximum production capacity is in turn determined by the processing machine A ... L with the smallest maximum power in the chain.
- the abscissa corresponds to the time axis and on the ordinate, the production levels of the production orders P 1 , P 2 are plotted.
- the current production order P 1 has an edition of 5000 copies in the example.
- the current production order P 1 is first finished at full output at 5,000 copies, then the entire production line 1 is completely converted during the time t k before the subsequent production order P 2 is started at full power.
- the conversion process begins before completion the current production order P 1 , in the example at a production level of 3500 copies. From Phase 1 onwards, production will be slightly reduced. At a production level of about 4700 copies, phase 2 begins, with performance again reduced. In phase 3, the production plant 1 is completely silent. With the beginning of phase 4, the beginning of the production order P 2 with reduced power takes place. After the completion of Phase 4, the performance is increased and at the end of Phase 5 can be produced with the maximum possible power.
- the available parameters such as production orders P 1 , P 2 , retooling and maximum power per machine A ... L, present staff and its training, the duration t 1 ... t 5 , the beginning and end of the phases and the calculable dates.
- the calculation is preferably carried out by a control system 9 controlling the production plant 1. If the copy number of the production order P 1 is reached at which the conversion is to begin, and at the beginning of each further phase, the machine operators are informed by appropriate signals.
- the benefit of the method according to the invention is determined by the time saving t G.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verarbeitung von Druckprodukten zu Druckerzeugnissen in Chargen sich folgender unterschiedlicher Fertigungsaufträge in einer Fertigungsanlage parallel geschalteter Fertigungslinien, bestehend aus förderwirksam verbundenen Verarbeitungsmaschinen und/oder -einrichtungen, die für einen Fertigungsauftragswechsel auszurüsten und/oder umzurüsten sind.The invention relates to a method for processing printed products into printed products in batches of the following different production orders in a production plant in parallel connected production lines, consisting of conveyor-linked processing machines and / or devices that are equipped for a production order change and / or retrofit.
In der Druckweiterverarbeitung eingesetzte Fertigungsanlagen sind zum Teil sehr komplex und werden aus einzelnen Anlagenteilen resp. Verarbeitungsmaschinen zusammengesetzt. Die Reihenfolge in der die Verarbeitungsmaschinen angeordnet sind, ist durch die an den Produkten vorzunehmende Verarbeitung gegeben. Die zur Verfügung stehenden Verarbeitungsmaschinen können sehr unterschiedliche Leistungsangebote aufweisen. Bei grossen Leistungsunterschieden kann die Wirtschaftlichkeit unter Umständen wesentlich gesteigert werden, wenn der Produktefluss im Bereich von langsameren Verarbeitungsmaschinen auf mehrere parallele Fertigungslinien aufgeteilt und diese bedarfsfalls resp. allenfalls wieder zusammengeführt werden. Beispielsweise sind Fertigungsanlagen bekannt, die aus einer Buchbindelinie und mehreren stromabwärts in Fertigungslinien parallel angeordneten Dreischneidern, Stackern, Foliermaechinen etc. bestehen. Ebenfalls denkbar ist das Zusammenführen von zwei parallelen Zusammentraglinien auf eine Bindelinie. Bei Fertigungsanlagen, nach dem Stand der Technik, erfolgt eine Umstellung von einem Produkt auf das nachfolgende Produkt frühestens, nachdem das letzte Exemplar eines laufenden Fertigungsauftrages einen ersten Verarbeitungsabschnitt verlassen hat, und die Produktionsaufnahme mit dem nachfolgenden Fertigungsauftrag beginnt erst, wenn alle Anlagenteile auf diesen nachfolgenden Fertigungsauftrag umgestellt worden sind. In der Regel sind für eine Produktionsumstellung mehrere Personen verfügbar, sodass gleichzeitig mehrere Verarbeitungsmaschinen einer Fertigungsanlage umgestellt werden können. Diese Personen sind jedoch nicht umfassend ausgebildet, sodass jede Person nur in der Lage ist, eine bestimmte Fertigungsmachine oder Maschinengruppe umzustellen. Die Dauer des gesamten Umstellprozesses wird deshalb durch die Anlagenteile mit der grössten Umrüstzeit bestimmt. Meistens ist dies die Umrüstzeit von mehrfach in der Anlage vorhandenen Verarbeitungsmaschinen, weil beispielsweise nur eine einzige Person dazu ausgebildet ist und mehrere Verarbeitungsmaschinen umzustellen hat.Some of the production systems used in print finishing are very complex and are made up of individual parts of the plant, respectively. Processing machines assembled. The order in which the processing machines are arranged is given by the processing to be performed on the products. The available processing machines can have very different service offers. In the case of large differences in performance, the economic efficiency can under certain circumstances be substantially increased if the product flow in the area of slower processing machines is divided into several parallel production lines and if necessary, respectively. if necessary, be brought together again. For example, manufacturing facilities are known, which consist of a bookbinding line and several downstream in production lines arranged parallel trimmers, stackers, Foliermaechinen etc. It is also conceivable to combine two parallel collation lines on a binding line. In manufacturing plants, according to the prior art, a conversion from a product to the subsequent product takes place at the earliest after the last copy of a current production order has left a first processing section, and the production commencement with the subsequent production order does not begin until all parts of the system on this subsequent Production order have been converted. As a rule, several people are available for a production change so that several processing machines of a production line can be converted at the same time. However, these individuals are not fully trained so that each person is only able to convert a particular manufacturing machine or group of machines. The duration of the entire changeover process is therefore determined by the plant components with the largest changeover time. In most cases, this is the changeover time of multiple processing machines present in the plant because, for example, only a single person is trained to convert several processing machines.

Der Nutzen des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens ist durch die Zeiteinsparung tG bestimmt. Die gesamte Umrüstzeit tN ist zwar grösser als die konventionelle Umrüstzeit tK nach dem Stand der Technik. Da jedoch während dem Umrüsten produziert wird, ergibt sich eine Zeiteinsparung tG.The benefit of the method according to the invention is determined by the time saving t G. Although the total changeover time t N is greater than the conventional conversion time t K according to the prior art. However, since it is produced during the conversion, there is a time saving t G.
