Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a printed matter aggregation device that processes a plurality of different types of printed matter such as newspapers and inserted printed matter such as insert advertisements for each customer.

[Conventional technology]

Generally jll! Daily newspapers delivered to readers, so-called home-delivered printed materials, include special newspapers, in addition to the main newspaper, which is the main printed matter.
There are often secondary printed materials such as insert advertisements.

Additionally, some subscribers may subscribe to several different daily newspapers.

At newsagents that handle this type of printed matter, before the delivery process, sub-printed materials are collected for the main paper to create a set of printed matter for each customer who is a subscriber. Furthermore, the printed matter that makes up these printed matter collections vary depending on the subscriber, with different daily newspapers being used as the main paper or multiple different daily newspapers being subscribed to at the same time.

Conventional collection work is done manually by workers at retail stores, or by delivery personnel who carry printed matter separately on different sheets of paper. We create a collective printed matter that includes daily newspapers and deliver them individually.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventional collection processing is manual and takes time and effort, which affects delivery times. Normally, delivery workers take approximately two hours to deliver. On the other hand, the delivery time for newspapers varies from district to district, but in most districts, the delivery time for morning editions is approximately 6 a.m. In this way, the time required for delivery and the time to complete the delivery are limited, so the assembly work must be carried out within a short time after the main paper arrives at the retailer, requiring a large number of workers and delivery personnel. do.

Furthermore, because this type of work is not performed in a favorable environment, it is currently difficult to increase the number of workers. Under such circumstances, newspaper companies are unable to set delivery times to retailers later, which limits their ability to include fresh news in their newspapers.

Furthermore, recently, active movements have been observed in various fields, and articles and advertisements related to them have become widely available. Therefore, as the number of pages of the main paper increases and the number of inserted printed matter increases, the number of copies that one delivery person can deliver within a predetermined time becomes limited. Therefore, even if the number of deliveries remains the same, if a portion of the volume increases, the labor burden on the delivery staff will increase using conventional collective work and delivery methods, which will lead to a corresponding deterioration of the working environment in the field. Ta.
