Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of delivering and loading sets of documents into associated envelopes in which a feed station receives the sets of documents in a document stock stream formed by a sequence of sets of documents and the envelopes are fed in an envelope stock flow formed by a sequence of envelopes. It further refers to an inserter for carrying out the method.
- CONFIRMATION COPY be provided. Such personalization or individualization can be tailored entirely to the actual recipient by personal data such as address data or confidential data such as financial data in the context of payroll or the like are processed. Alternatively or additionally, data relating to groups of persons, such as, for example, gender-specific, age-group-specific, language-specific data or the like may also be used.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method of the type mentioned above, with a particularly simple way, a particularly high reliability and precision in the compilation of packages from the sets of documents and the envelopes can be achieved. Furthermore, an inserting system which is particularly suitable for carrying out the method should be specified.
- this object is achieved according to the invention by introducing the respectively delivered document set into the respectively simultaneously delivered envelope in the introduction station, wherein for each document material flow guided document set its position in the document sequence and a document associated there ldent Interventions code and for each envelope carried in the envelope material flow, its position in the envelope sequence and an envelope identifier associated therewith. cation code are detected, and wherein the delivery of a document set and an envelope in the transfer station only in pairs and only released when it is confirmed by the respective document identification code and the respective envelope identification code that the pending for delivery envelope to the pending delivery Document set is assigned individually.
- the invention is based on the consideration that a particularly reliable combination of mutually associated components of the respective shipping goods is made possible by suitably selected identification codes suitable to the respective components, ie in particular on the envelopes on the one hand and the document sets and / or these on the other hand.
- These may be barcodes or other suitable means of identification, wherein in particular internally assigned serial numbers in ascending or descending order for the individual components within their respective material flow can be used.
- These identification codes can be created during the production of the respective component, ie the document or the envelope, and attached to the respective object, so that a tracking and identification of the respective component is possible at any time during the entire process.
- such individually assigned identifiers can also be used for the now desired matching, ie to ensure that an individually produced individual document or a document set comprising this information is also incorporated into the correct, individually assigned envelope.
- the identification codes of the envelopes and document records guided in the material flows are advantageously stored in a control unit of the inserting system and are kept as a basis for system-accompanying information, for example in the sense of tracking the processing status of the respective product or shipping item.
- the corresponding detection can advantageously take place comparatively early on entry of the respective part into the corresponding material stream, so that the corresponding identification information can be used over a comparatively broad period of time in the production process.
- Embodiment is therefore determined in the event that the pending for delivery in the transfer station envelope is not assigned to the submission to the delivery station document set individually, based on the detected and stored in the control system identification codes, whether the pending for submission envelope or that for subcontracting existing document set assigned document set or envelope is already in the appropriate material flow, ie that is still expected to arrive at the transfer station.
- the stated object is achieved with a feed station, upstream of the material flow side, a first conveyor for feeding envelopes and a second conveyor for feeding document sets, wherein the conveyors are separated and independently drivable.
- the separate driveability of the conveyors makes it possible that positioning and assignment errors between the material streams are compensated, for example by only one of the conveyors driven and the other is temporarily stopped, so that changes of the alternate assignments are possible.
- the conveying devices are advantageously each assigned a detection unit for reading out identification codes attached to the envelopes and / or document sets. These may be, for example, barcodes or the like with which an individualized monitoring of the material flows is possible.
- the detection units are connected to the data output side in each case with a central control unit.
- the acquired identification codes possibly supplemented by further product-specific information or data, are stored in the manner of a protocol and kept ready for further monitoring purposes within the system in an advantageous development.
- control unit is designed to control the drive of the conveyors in dependence on the identification codes determined in the detection units.
- a selective activation of the conveying devices can be provided in particular such that one of the conveyors is temporarily stopped and the corresponding one of the conveyors is stopped. so that the other stream of material is conveyed on until corresponding mating envelopes, on the one hand, and document sets, on the other hand, are in pairs again.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically an inserter
- Fig. 2 shows schematically a number of sequence scenarios.
- the enveloping installation 1 shown in the figure in the manner of a schematic conceptual representation is designed for the production of personalized enveloped items or packages, in particular postal items.
- "personalized” means, in particular, that during the production of the packages, a personal content or a personal mail item is specifically brought together with an associated envelope 2 related to the same person and inserted therein for forming the mailpiece arrangements on the one hand and the envelope 2 on the other hand, for example, can be designed so that the shipping to an individual or a group of people related, tailored content and possibly also contains personal information such as address data or the like, the associated envelope 2 to the same person or one of this person to be assigned group of people such as gender, age or the like related applications, content or the like such as imprints has.
- the personal shipping item is formed by a respective document set 4, which in turn can be composed of a number of, ie one or more, individual documents 6.
- the individual documents 6 can in turn provide individualized and personal information. or data such as address data, personalized content or the like included.
- the compilation of the document sets 4 is carried out by suitable combination of the individual documents 6 forming in their entirety the respective document set 4. Subsequently, the document sets 4 thus produced are fed to a delivery station 10, in which they are inserted into the respective associated envelope 2, so that the respective shipping material is created. This is - as indicated by the arrow 12 - subsequently discharged and the shipping or further processing such as gluing, another printing or the like supplied.
- the introduction station 10 is on the material flow side on the one hand a first conveyor 14 for feeding the envelopes 2 and on the other hand, a second conveyor 16 for supplying the document sets 4 upstream.
- the conveyor 16 can still be preceded by a number of other feed conveyor 18, of which only one shown in the embodiment, on the first the individual documents 6 conveyed and at a junction - as indicated by the arrow 20 - together to form the respective document set. 4 to be united.
- the sets of documents 4 are delivered sequentially via the second conveyor unit 16 of the introduction station 10 in a sequence or sequence and thereby form a document indicated by the arrow 22 - material flow.
- the envelopes 2 are also fed sequentially to the transfer station 10 via the first conveyor unit 14 to form a sequence or sequence, forming the envelope - material stream indicated by the arrow 24.
- the finished, issued by the inserter 1 togut should be personalized in the above sense, that is aligned to a specific person or group of people to be executed.
- the envelopes 2 are suitably provided with an envelope identification code, for example in the form of an individualized imprint such as a bar code or the like, which enables unambiguous identification of the person or group of persons to whom the envelope 2 is to be sent should.
- the document set 4 or the individual documents 6 forming the respective document set 4 in their composition are provided with a document identification code which permits an unambiguous assignment to the respective person or group of persons.
- the assignment of the identification codes both for the envelope 2 and for the document set 4 can take place, for example, in the form of an ascending or descending consecutive numbering, whereby by matching the respectively assigned identification number with further stored in a central database data such as address data or the like the desired personalization in the final processing, for example, by printing the salutation or the address data can be done.
- the inserter 1 is specifically designed to ensure an orderly and reliable assignment of the individual documents 6 or sets of documents 4 on the one hand to the respective envelope 2 on the other hand already during the production of the respective shipping good in terms of a particularly high production quality.
- the thereby read identification codes for example, the consecutive numbering of the envelopes 2 and / or the document sets 4, are then released in the manner of a log to a common, shown only schematically in the figure control system 34 and deposited there for further analysis. This deposit takes place for the document material flow on the one hand and the envelope material flow on the other hand separately and with the addition of the position determined for the respective article within the sequence of the respective material flow.
- this data is checked at a test position 36 whether the respective current position or sequence in the respective material flow coincides with the identification codes for the document set 4 on the one hand and the envelope 2 on the other hand, so that a proper assignment of the respective document set 4 to the respective Envelope 2 is available.
- This can be done in a particularly preferred, comparatively simple embodiment in that the determined serial number of the document set 4 is compared with the serial number of the envelope 2. If such a proper match is found, the delivery of the respective document set 4 with the respective envelope 2 takes place in pairs in the delivery station 10, so that the document set 4 can be introduced into the envelope.
- the inserting system 1 is now designed according to the principle that the material stream "leading" with respect to a proper synchronization of the material flows is stopped until the respective other, "lagging" material flow - possibly with the removal of intermediate faulty products - again synchronized and reintroduced with respect to the identification codes or numbers, so that a proper pairwise transfer to the introduction station 10 is possible.
- the envelope material flow is temporarily stopped by suitable activation of the drive of the first conveyor 14.
- the document material flow is conveyed by one unit through suitable activation of the drive of the second conveyor unit 16, so that now the envelope 2 with the serial number 102 and also the document set 4 with the serial number 102 are present in the area of the test position 36.
- the document set 4 with the serial number 101 which is now located in the area of the discharge station 42, is discharged from the current material flow of the document sets 4 in the discharge station 42.
- envelope material flow and document material flow namely, both with the serial number 102
- Envelopes and sets of documents can now be re-promoted in pairs, and Envelope 2 and the set of documents 4, both with the serial number 102, the feed station 10 are supplied in pairs and combined there to form the packaged.
- the test position 36 it is ascertained that there is the envelope 2 with the serial number 102 on the one hand and the document set with the serial number 101 on the other hand. If it is determined by resorting to the corresponding logging in the control unit 34 that - for example due to the production error - the document set 4 with the sequence number 102 does not exist and its arrival can no longer be expected, then the proper preparation of the synchronized packaged goods with the order number 102 not possible. In this case, the next possible consecutive number - in the example mentioned, for example, the serial number 103 - is then determined on the basis of the logging, for which again both components of the packaged goods are available.
- both conveyor units 14, 16 are controlled such that the respective conveyed (ie envelope 2 on the one hand and document set 4 on the other hand) with the running number 103 in the region of the test position 36 is present.
- the envelope with the serial number 102 are discharged in the discharge stations 40, 42. Only when properly synchronized components, ie both the envelope 2 with the sequence number 103 and the document set 4 with the sequence number 103 are present in the area of the test position 36, are both conveyed in pairs and fed to the introduction station 10.
- the packaged goods with the order number 102 consisting of envelope 2 and set of documents 4 could not be produced.
- the corresponding diagnostic information which was also the trigger for the removal of the (unsaved) envelope 2 with the serial number 102, can also be used as a trigger for a post-production of the entire actually failed packaged goods with the serial number 102.
- scenario IV a special situation is shown, in which the presence of a document sentence 4 is detected at the same time as the envelope 2 with the sequence number 103 in the test position 36, but its identification code can not be determined (for example, is not readable) (??). A direct verification of the proper allocation is therefore not possible.
- both the envelope with the serial number 104 and the document number with the serial number 104 are present. It can therefore be assumed that the document set 4 located in the test position 36 is the one with the - matching - consecutive number 103.
- both material streams are further promoted, however, the - dubious and unverified - packaged goods with the serial number 103 at a suitable location before or after the transfer station 10 - - possibly also manual - subjected to special test and is suitably discharged from the actual material flow ,
- scenario V the desired normal case is again shown, in which both streams of material are synchronous with one another in the desired manner and accordingly are transported further together and in parallel.
