Abstract

The method involves determining data individualizing print material bundles e.g. paper rolls, due to actuation of a barcode scanner (46) and an input interface (47) of an operator interface (34) in the context of feeding a roll exchanger for print material supply with the print material bundles. The interface is associated to the assembly. The data is transmitted to a database system (17). An entry related to a status and/or habitation, is changed due to transmission of the data into a bundle dataset of the database system, where the dataset relates to the self individualized data. An independent claim is also included for a device for handling print material bundles in a print material supply system of a printing machine.

Description

The invention relates to a method and a device for handling printed matter containers according to claim 1 or 11.

Also, the user interface 22 of the goods receipt 18 may be associated with a control device, not shown, which performs at least the data acquisition and data exchange with the database system 17 and the PC 51. These functionalities can be used for the other processing stages 23; 06 in the associated control devices 52; 53 or in different, not shown, control devices of the respective operator interface 22; 34 implemented.

Between the roller data management system 05 or its PC 51 and the operating and arithmetic unit 08 of the control station 08 may preferably also consist of a signal connection 54 for the exchange of role-specific and / or supply-specific data. The data transfer between the operator interfaces 22; 27; 34 or their control devices 52; 53 and the database system 17 can be as shown directly or possibly via the PC 51 done.

The PC 51 can - as well as the control and processing unit 08 of the control station 08 - as a printer output device 56; 57, over which the inventory and / or the paper or roll consumption related evaluations 74, for example, in report form, can be issued. Such evaluations can be visualized on a screen 59 of the PC 51.

In Fig. 4 Data streams or paths exchanged between the different stations and aggregates are set up in the print shop in the printing company. For the printing press 01, only the roll changers 06 are set forth here. A possibly existing intermediate storage 26 is not specifically shown here.

If, for example, a delivery of new rolls 14 takes place, they will be made available to the print shop in the area of goods receipt 18. For the delivery there are z. For example, a delivery note, which in principle can also be transmitted electronically (eg Papinet, EDlpap). In one embodiment, this delivery note may be the basis for the reins 14 entering the system. The electronic delivery note or the rolling data records contained therein is or are then, for example, by appropriate confirmation by the operator on the operator interface 22nd imported. In an advantageous embodiment, a role 14 individualizing and descriptive information, for. A coded on a bar code label 61 information (eg Ifra barcode), by a reader 36, z. B. the bar code scanner 36, read and recorded for the relevant individual role 14 at the goods receipt 18 data D (14i, 18) at the behest of the operator -. B. by scanning and / or pressing a switch or button - along z. B. a path 63 (which takes place for example via the signal connection 15) to the database system 17 where z. B. in the table "role data" 62 a new record with the essential information for this new role 14 is created. The information read out and created in the data record comprises, for example, at least one identification (eg the role ID) individualizing the role 14 and / or at least an indication of paper type and / or grammage and / or manufacturer and / or paper color and / or information about the roll width and / or roll diameter. The reading of the barcode can be done for verification in addition to reading the delivery note. A roll 14 which has been delivered and passes the incoming goods department 18 increases the stock in the entire storage and transport area of the roll supply system 02 as well as the roll changer 06 comprising system, in particular first of all in the main store 21. Parallel to this, importing increases this role In the embodiment in which the roll data at the goods receipt 18 are entered into the system (that is to say the roll data management system 05), the roll input 18 sets the number of rolls 14 represented by the roll data records that is, an entry point 18 into the control area of the roll data management system 05.

In the area of the preparation circle 23, in particular at the unpacking station 28, the still packed rolls 14 are unpacked and prepared for production. In this case, for example, again the data concerning the roll 14 (14i, 23), z. B. according to the above, but here at the site of the preparation circle 23rd In addition, there z. B. the type of Klebevorbereitung 29 and the roll weight can be detected. The possibly supplemented by the latter data D (14i, 18) are z. B. transferred along a path 64 to the database system 17, the role 14 identified and changed in the table 62, the entry for the status and / or location. The roll 14 is then maintained in the database system 17 as a prepared roll 14. In an advantageous embodiment, a return delivery of a roller 14 - z. B. unused roll 14 - be provided by the roll changer 06 back to the preparation circle 23, wherein the returned role 14 at least to identify the database system 17 and there, for example, via a path 66 transmitted data D (14i, 18 ') of the record in question at least the whereabouts is changed. Is the preparation circle 23 z. B. assigned as a label printer output device, then the returned role 14 after printing a corresponding bar code label 67 again be marked with this.

If, in a simplified embodiment, the inventory of the upstream main storage 21 is not managed by the roll data management system 05, the preparation cycle 23 or the unpacking station 28 represents the place where the rolls 14 are first registered for the system, ie an entry location 23; 28; 29 into the control area of the roll data management system 05.

When loading the reel changer 06, the relevant roll 14 again experiences a change in the status and / or location. The relevant role 14 must therefore be identified there in one of the above-mentioned ways (scanning or selecting) and this role 14 reported to the database system 17 at least as present at the reel changer 06. In a preferred embodiment, the operator selects the relevant roller 14 from a list of possible rollers 14 displayed on the display 48 (see above). About z. B. a path 77 are the reel changer 06 or its user interface 34 and control device 53, for example, initially from the database system 17 data possible prepared rolls 14 transmitted, of which the operator For example, a role 14 is identified and selected. Data D (14i, 06) of the preferably selected by the operator in a genanter selected (possibly instead scanned or edited on the user interface 34) roller 14 are z. B. via a path 78, returned to the database system 17. In the table "role data" 62 and / or preferably in a table "event list" 68, the status - e.g. B. together with the role ID (eg, as the role 14 individualizing date) and possibly a time - differentiated depending on the progress of the role assignment in the reel changer 06 in one of the values "aufgeachst", "expiring" or "abgeachst" be logged. When the roll 14 in the roll changer 06 expires, for example, cyclically updated roll data, e.g. B. data for the roll diameter and / or the previous run length characterizing size, about z. For example, the path 78 is communicated from the roll changer 06 to the database system 17, the value for that size being updated in the table "Roll Data" 61 and / or in the table "Event List" 68.

As stated, the update of the whereabouts entry is made in the record of the relevant table 61; 68 at the processing stations 18; 23; 06 automatically as soon as the operator has the appropriate operating functions at the respective processing stations 18; 23; 06 has executed or triggered.

If a roll 14 - z. B. without having a processing station 18; 23; 06 happened - from one of the bearings 21; 26 or a storage area moved to another or another, it is by the operator z. B. on the PC 51, manually reposting the relevant role 14 by changing the entry for the whereabouts in the record of the relevant table 61; 68 made. In the case of a pure transfer, the update must therefore be sent via the PC 51, z. B. via a implemented on the PC 51 inventory management dialog.

For example, since the roll data management system 05 only needs inventory management with storage areas, but no warehouse-specific warehouse management, it is sufficient if the record of a roll 14 is updated manually in this way, when the roller 14 changes from one to the other storage area and not via a processing station 06; 18; 23 is guided.

In addition to the table "role data" 62 and possibly the table "event list" 68, the database of the database system 17 preferably comprises one or more further tables 69; 71, in which the possible values or pseudonyms for the entry in the table 61 and / or table 68 are kept as value stock. This value pool ensures uniform identifiers for the values or pseudonyms to be selected and is also called master data. Thus, for example, a table "paper master data" 69 is provided in which the different types and textures of the roll papers to be used are listed. Likewise, instead of or in addition, a table "bearing master data" 71 may be provided, in which possible bearings 21; 26 and possibly storage areas are predefined. In an optionally additionally or instead provided table "event master data" 72 are, for example, the selectable events - such. For example, an entry at the goods receipt, a roll preparation, an up or down on the roll changer - listed. are (see eg Fig. 5 ).

In principle, the transport between the processing stages 06; 18; 23 with each other and the or the camps 21; 26 by means of transport driverless, z. B. by automatic driving systems such. As driverless trucks, done, but in contrast to the fully automatic system, a transport order between the start and destination is triggered, for example, by the operator. In a simple embodiment, however - such. In Fig. 4 indicated - for the transport within the roller supply system 02 up to a transfer point to the inner feed circuit manually controlled, preferably with respect to their track unbound transport 73, z. B. stacker 73 for the carriage of horizontal and / or stationary rollers 14, is provided.

Such as In Fig. 6 summarized in the lower area in a simplified flow-related representation, role-related data on goods receipt 18, the preparation circle 23, in particular the unpacking station 28, and the roll changer 06 detected or selected and for inventory management and / or evaluation -. B. by using the database system 17 and / or the associated PC 51 in a software program 76 implemented software routines - used, the management and / or processing accesses the records of the table "role data" 62 or generates or updated.

In inventory management, the inventory of records with active roles 14 in the database system 17, in particular in the table "role data" 62, reflects the role inventory in the system which currently belongs to the printing house in the warehouse 21; 26, on the transport paths 32; 33 or the processing stations 06; 18; 23 is available. Possibly. For example, an additional area for rejected rolls 14, which are no longer available for production (swap area), can be defined. A roll 14 is added to the stock when they first -. B. at the goods receipt 18 or possibly only at the expansion station 28 - is recorded in terms of data or generated via the inventory management dialog. A role 14 is removed from inventory when it is consumed, removed, or deleted through the Inventory Management dialog. A roll data set is updated when the roll 14, the bearing 21; 26 or the storage area changes (transfer posting), the status of the role 14 changes (in the preparation cycle 23 or in the roll changer 06) or the role data record is edited via the inventory management dialog. In an advantageous embodiment, additional events, z. For example, any event that causes a relevant status or location change of the reel 14 and thus generates, deletes, or alters reel data (but, for example, with the exception of the cyclic change in diameter when rolling on reel changer 06) - in the Event List table 68. z. B. along with a time - inscribed. This makes it possible later on the way, the role of a 14 in the printing has traced and their treatment (so-called Reelhistory ") to track.

In the database system 17 or its database management system or in the PC 51, in particular as part of the software program 76 implemented there, preferably program routines for the visualization of evaluations z. B. on the monitor of the PC 51, for example, inventory lists and reports such. B. inventory and / or demand lists and / or role historians and / or production reports and / or error lists and / or paper consumption reports. Optionally, a program routine is provided, by means of which evaluations 74 in the form of inventory lists and / or reports can be output to the or a printer 56. The program routines of the database management system are z. B. designed to generate sorted and filtered evaluations.

In addition to the stated functionality of the inventory management and evaluation and, if appropriate, the recording and evaluation of the role history, the role data management system 05 in the printing house or the printing installation can be assigned or assigned a role requirement determination system 79 (see, for example, FIG. Fig. 6 ). The role requirement determination system 79 includes, for example, in one of the computing and / or data processing unit 13 of the product planning system 03 or in the role data management system 05 associated PC 51, a software program 81 with implemented software routines, by means of predetermined algorithms, the role requirement for the next, especially several next productions, can be determined. For this purpose, there is a signal connection 83 between the software program 81 to the data of the production planning (03), via which the production plan data (03) - z. B. at least paper type, edition - can be loaded for the following productions. For the definition of the planned paper type, the production planning (03) accesses the same table "paper master data" 69, for example via a signal connection 84 as the roll data management system 05. The roll requirement - ie the number of required rolls 14 of the required paper type - is z. Eg for the planned productions stored in a table "paper requirements" 82.

In a preferred embodiment, there is a signal connection between the roll demand determination system 79 and the control level 11, via which data is transmitted to the current production, for example the current actual print run and the applicable target print run. In this way, it is also possible to take into account the current production in the role requirement determination system 79 and to cyclically and / or change the planning data, eg, the data record relating to this current production, in the table "paper requirement". From setpoint specifications.

The production plan data 03 contain for each production run all necessary information for the calculation of the paper supply and the supply of the roll changer 06. These are in particular a production individualizing order ID, the target circulation, possibly a planned waste, possibly the production type (single or Collective production), the number of webs, possibly the web guides with the participating reel changers 06, and the web width, possibly the web position and mandatory the desired paper type.

The required paper requirement in paper rolls 14 results z. The required running meter per reel changer 06 results from the target circulation, plus planned Andruckmakulatur and possibly plus subsidy and safety reserve, the cylinder circumference of the printing press and in the case of multiple-sized cylinders of the type of production (collective or double production). The running meters per roll 14 can be deposited in the paper master data table 69, paper-type-specifically for the roll diameters used. For the selection of the required rolls 14, the web width and paper type can be accessed from the production schedule data.

If it is intended to change from a production to a subsequent production with a different product scope (ie, at least one roll 14 to be replaced with a different roll width), the adjustment of the web widths, paper types and web layers of the current production and the production following in accordance with the production plan can be calculated be, whether a change in size with a change in the number and / or width of rolls 14, and possibly with a need for a roll 14 with special adhesive preparation pending. The latter is required, for example, if a wider roll 14 is to be glued to a narrower roll 14 for the production change.
