Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling the production of a printing unit by means of a management information system (MIS), wherein first the MIS MIS job data transmitted to a prepress system and then created the prepress system prepress order data for at least one in the production of the printing exporting system ,
- MIS management information system
- JDF Job definition format
- JMF job messaging format
- CIP4 Consortium International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress
- the objective of the CIP4 specification is to flexibly and unrestrictedly standardize communication between all systems of the print shop, designers, advertising agency, clients of printed matter and subcontractors of contractors in a networked graphic production for all production possibilities and contingencies.
- the JDF built on the "Extensible Markup Language”("XML”), a well-known metalanguage developed by the "World Wide Web Consortium"("W3C", www.w3.org) to define document types, is designed according to the intention of the The CIP4 consortium not only describes the processes and products across systems, but also vertically integrates data on the one hand of the production process and on the other hand of the commercial areas in one comprehensible and consistent data structure enable a high level of transparency of all production processes, standardized documentation of the relevant target and actual data and consistent production control.
- an order in JDF is to be described only once in a form that is also used in external communication both with end customers and with subcontractors and their implementing systems in human-machine and machine-machine communication via voice and Platform boundaries across all process participants.
- MIS management information system
- a customer formulated in a generally known manner first of all request data, ie in particular format, edition, paper and print quality, type of binding and the latest delivery date for the finished printing unit.
- the MIS first of all automatically determines from this request data a concrete set of possible parameters of the production of the printing unit, for example the imposition schemes, the sheet formats and paper types used for the signatures, up to the selection of the concrete implementing systems to be used, such as prepress, printing -, folding, cutting, binding and packaging systems, including the respective operating dates and times, and calculates a possible offer on the basis of the costs actually incurred at the individual cost centers.
- the well-known MIS mediates with these MIS order data essentially automatically - if, after manually specifying or changing individual parameters and then recalculating the dependent parameters of manufacture and supply - the first step is to provide the operator with the essential basics for the business creation of a cost estimate Quotation for the production of a printing unit according to the customer's request. If the customer accepts the offer, the MIS uses the same MIS order data to control the executing systems and transmits this MIS order data in JDF format, for example, to a well-known prepress system and as start information for the purpose of creating the order to the other executing systems.
- the MIS determines an imposition scheme, that is to say an arrangement of pages of the printing unit to be jointly printed on a printed sheet and transmits them to the prepress system after the order has been placed.
- the imposition scheme can be submitted using JDF or, depending on prepress requirements, in one of the predecessor formats of JDF, Adobe's Portable Job Ticket Format ("PJTF”) or in a proprietary format.
- the system operator is given the opportunity to - in general, on the instructions of the head of department - to revise the order data:
- the known prepress system offers, inter alia, for subsequent adaptation of the edition, the Page format, page count, paper and print quality, as well as the color and binding of the print engine, and even propose - if necessary - a custom schema from a separate library of impositions to match the adjusted parameters.
- the system operator combines the information of the imposition and the pages in an interactive process.
- the prepress system creates, on the one hand, a printing sheet layout for the plate setter for the production of a printing plate, and, on the other hand, a job ticket with prepress job data for the subsequently executing printing systems.
- the job ticket as a digital counterpart to the job bag defines in the form of a collection of information among other things, the other parameters for the production of the sheet - using the exposed printing plate - on the printing system.
- PPF Print Production Format
- the MIS possibly still receives knowledge of the prepress job data (deviating from the MIS order data) in the sense of a report on the completion of the work of the prepress system, but does not interpret it, because it in turn no longer interferes with the production process on the other exporting systems.
- Status messages of the following exporting systems due to the possibility of deviations of the MIS from the actually underlying production prepress job data, especially for subsequently increased number of sheets not securely assigned and neither for monitoring the production, nor for the post-calculation of the print job (without manual rework) completely be used.
- the invention has for its object to simplify the handling of deviations of the job from the offer.
- the prepress system transmit the prepress job data to the MIS and the MIS controls the production of the print engine based on the prepress job data.
- job tickets created by the known prepress systems for controlling the subsequent systems are not provided for matching the prepress job data with the original MIS job data contained in them, they nevertheless necessarily contain information from which the deviations, if not already immediate read off, then at least safely derive.
- a job ticket contains an imposition scheme from which not only the print sheet format, the page number, the color and the final format of the print unit can be determined, but also - depending on the characteristic position of the pages - signatures and folding schemes.
- the fixed formats of the various job tickets enable their automated evaluation and interpretation in the MIS.
- the job data and the pre-press job data actually used to make the print engine are not only independently available. Rather, the pre-press order data are interpreted and the parameters obtained by the interpretation are - in case of doubt interactive - entered into the database of the MIS.
- the inventive method thus initially displaces the - in the prior art in the Production settled - labor in the area of calculation and planning of production, thus avoiding unplanned downtime in production.
- the consistency of the data in the MIS and in the executing systems is ensured by the method according to the invention.
- Status messages of the executing systems which are archived in a state-of-the-art MIS for documentation purposes only, can safely and thus again be automated in a MIS operating according to the method according to the invention and can be assigned to its specific information content become.
- the method according to the invention thus also permits automated monitoring for several ongoing complex production processes up to the online diagnosis of bottlenecks unforeseen due to delays of individual subprocesses, including development and selection of scenarios for remedying, including automatic notification of affected customers or supplementary inquiries to external service providers and including a constantly updated overview of the cost relevance of each development.
- the method according to the invention can be used, in particular, when the MIS job data is transmitted to the prepress system in the Portable Job Ticket Format or the Job Definition Format and the prepress job data from the Prepress System in Portable Job Ticket Format, Job Definition Format or Print Production Format to be created.
- These formats are used in the state of the art at the interfaces between MIS and prepress systems as well as between prepress and printing systems.
- the prepress job data may include a fold position, a measure of the printing plate, a number of print marks, a size or position of a print mark. From the above-mentioned data, which are typically contained in a job ticket, it is particularly easy to determine the information relevant for the automatic presetting of printing and bookbinding machines.
- a folding sequence can be determined, in particular on the basis of the prepress job data from the prepress system, by the management information system. The folding order and the imposition scheme actually used are essential parameters for the presetting of the executing systems.
- MIS central management information system
- a customer sends a request to the graphic production company via a web interface of the MIS for the production of a continuous four-color 16-page printing unit in DIN A4 format (21 x 29.7 cm) in an edition of 50,000 copies, completion within 5 days order.
- the MIS selects the production on a 63 x 88 cm sheet with a 16-page cross-hatch, preliminarily schedules the use of the executing systems, calculates the costs incurred on these and, on that basis, draws up an offer, after confirmation the operator of the MIS - is sent by email to the customer.
- the customer confirms the order via a link specified in the email and is immediately forwarded to the web interface of the selected print pre-press system.
- the MIS created the order according to the data confirmed by the customer.
- the customer Via the web interface of the pre-press system, the customer transmits the page information in the form of a PDF file, which deviates from the one in the request and parameters formulated in the order - has a page format of 20 x 29 cm.
- the PDF file contains defectors on the eight inner pages, ie graphic elements that run from a left-hand page to a right-hand page.
- the department head in charge contacts the customer and confirms the smaller format in the prepress system because the customer wants to distribute the print engine as a depositor in a larger magazine (in A4 size). In addition, he sets the production on two loveditesrn in the parallel fold due to the defectors.
- the prepress system exposes the printing plate with a print format of 61 x 86 cm, with two eight-sided in the parallel fold, creates the job ticket in JDF format and transmits it to the MIS, which first extracts the information contained in it and on this Basis again calculates the production of the printing unit and calculates their costs.
- the operator of the MIS has doubled the number of copies of the printing unit after a new call from the customer and reconfigured the type of packaging for sending by airmail.
- the MIS merges the data updated at various points and sends the adapted job ticket to production.
- the data contained in the job ticket can be used directly to automatically set up the executing systems. The inevitable in the prior art manual rework is effectively avoided by the method according to the invention.
