Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing individually assembled printed products.
  • the invention also relates to an apparatus for realizing a method of this type.
  • a target group generally consists of a circle of persons combined to form a uniform addressee. Within this context, we therefore cannot refer to a personalized distribution.
  • An apparatus for producing a personalized magazine cover is known from German patent document DE 20 2009 002 109 U1.
  • the production involves several processing stations for the step-by-step processing of a product web, meaning for producing at least one blank that forms the magazine cover, wherein the product web used is preferably imprinted on both sides.
  • a personalized element is attached to the magazine cover.
  • At least one of the processing stations in this case is designed for producing the magazine cover and the personalized element from the same product web, wherein the personalized element forms the basis for the postal delivery of the magazine. Owing to the fact that the element can be implemented in a single operating step, a subsequent labeling step can be omitted.
  • European patent document EP 1 578 614 B1 discloses a method for producing addressee-specific printed products. With this method, a great many printed sheets are gathered for producing the inside portion of a printed product, which is then provided with a cover sheet and is stitched together or bound to form the respectively finished printed product.
  • An EDP supported database structure ensures that targeted information is assigned to the respective addressee listed on the individual printed product.
  • An addressee-specific product is produced by providing at least one of the printed sheets with information specific to the addressee, at a predetermined location.
  • the cited document also pursues the production of addressee-specific media, which respectively contain static information which is identical for a plurality of media and is processed separate from the dynamic information that differs for each medium.
  • European patent document EP 1 908 600 A1 deals with folded or foldable sheets to be attached to a printed product or to another flat item.
  • An anti-adherence region is provided in this case which, in the folded state of the sheets, rests on the adhesive region and completely covers this region.
  • European patent document EP 2 007 667 B1A discloses a method for inserting supplements to form printed products which are conveyed essentially continuously in a stream, wherein the printed products are folded or bound and are thus provided with a folding or back edge.
  • the printed products in the stream are conveyed with the folding or back edges oriented transverse to or at an angle to a conveying direction and are held individually by grippers, for example along the folding or back edges, such that the folded supplements are supplied successively to the feed location where they are opened and where an opened supplement is inserted and such that means for orienting the printed products are provided.
  • a method for producing individually assembled printed products comprising: supplying from a production line at least one envelope product with an individual, optically detectable marking affixed thereto; supplying from at least one other production line at least one of, respectively, a regionally oriented supplement and a target-group specific supplement; and assembling the envelope products and the supplements by at least one of: combining in a first autonomously operating assembling device the envelope product with the regionally oriented supplement to form a first printed product, and combining in a second autonomously operating assembling device the envelope product with the target-group specific supplement to form a second printed product, or inserting continuously or intermittingly in the first autonomously operating assembling device the target-group specific product into the first printed product, or inserting in a downstream direction of the first autonomously operating assembling device the target-group specific supplement into the first printed product.
  • an apparatus to produce individually assembled printed products including at least one envelope product and at least one supplement comprising: a first device to supply at least one envelope product with at least one external, optically detectable marking that matches a specific addressee; and at least one assembling device to integrate the supplied envelope product and at least one supplement in a clocked operation into regionally oriented and/or target-group specific printed products.
  • the invention furthermore intends to systematize the availability of the printed products which are ready for distribution and to cover the many options arising in practical operations with the aid of simple measures taken during the production.
  • the focus is basically on regionally oriented and/or target-group specific envelope products which are provided with an optical marking and which form the basis for the steps proposed according to the invention.
  • An envelope product can best be compared to a cover (envelope, multipage printed product, for example a weekly paper or a regional printed product), which has a characteristic basic layout that includes at least one target-specific or regionalized marking which serves as a delivery address.
  • This envelope or cover can also contain content that exceeds the regional scope and can easily differ considerably from case to case, depending on the delivery criteria.
  • the address can thus figuratively be an external, optical identification feature, for example complemented by a color component.
  • the goal is to take specific steps to ensure the targeted regional delivery for a regionalized distribution, for which the printed products generally have very different compositions, wherein an optical marking of the envelope product is initially quite sufficient as a criterion.
  • the marking of the envelope product it is possible for the shipping agent, the distributor and the final distribution agent to detect immediately to which region the respective envelope product belongs, wherein the content of this envelope product of course must coincide with the respective addressee for delivery.
  • the envelope products for the respective area must initially have the same optical marking.
  • the underlying basic system can therefore additionally be used without problem for distribution services which provide for an adjoining, comprehensive distribution to an adjacent region.
  • the envelope products for the adjoining region which can be detected by the markings, are added to the main contingent, so that the distributor can also safely make a so-called trans-regional delivery or can be sure that such a delivery takes place. Strictly speaking, the provisioning and precise distribution of the printed products thus occurs solely based on the markings affixed to the envelope products. As seen from this point, it becomes clear that the complete system is based on an easy to carry out marking of the envelope products.
  • the underlying basic philosophy can advantageously also be realized for the delivery of target-group specific printed products.
  • the object in that case is to supply the target groups with customized printed products, wherein these target groups need not coincide with strictly determined delivery circles.
  • the delivery is consequently based solely on target-group specific criteria for which the supplements added to the envelope products can differ considerably within a limited circle.
  • target-group specific supplements can also be combined with the regional components of the envelope products.
  • the regional distribution therefore forms the basis which is then complemented by the addition of target-group specific supplements.
  • envelope products which contain regionalized as well as target-group specific supplements, are provided with an additional optical marking, so that the distribution can occur simultaneously with the purely regionalized printed products.
  • An expansion to include several target-group specific deliveries within the aforementioned region is possible as well.
  • envelope products can be made available with simple regionalized or target-group specific supplements, as well as combinations of the two with respect to the number and sequence, wherein the individually provided packages coincide with the delivery that must effectively take place.
  • the packages provided for this contain uniformly marked envelope products, for which the number coincides with the number for the deliveries to be made.
  • the packages contain uniformly marked envelope products for which the number conforms to the scope of the respective target group.
  • the envelope products provided for this must advantageously be marked accordingly.
  • a marking of this type can also contain additional elements for the purely regional and/or target-group specific delivery to ensure that a secure distinction is made during the distribution.
  • an apparatus which comprises feed lines that operate approximately in accordance with the reversed principle for a boxer engine.
  • the two operating lines with their content converge toward the center where the individual printed product is completed in a clocked operation, wherein this completion is controlled continuously by including the two operating lines and wherein the one line basically supplies the envelope products and the other line supplies the supplements and/or inserts for finalizing the regionally oriented or target-group specific printed products.
  • Additional items are to be fed in via another line if the regionalization is to be combined simultaneously with a target-group specific distribution, wherein this insertion device can be integrated into a first assembling device or can be disposed at a downstream location.
  • Auxiliary means such as the inkjet (arranged inline or at the intake of the stacking machines) or RFID means can thus be omitted completely, thereby resulting in lower investment volumes and higher efficiency.
  • the different target-group specific or regionally oriented combinations can thus be recognized easily by the distributor or delivering agent.
  • the secure access by the distributor is also ensured, meaning no identification devices (reading devices) are needed for the distribution, as is the case with the barcode or the RFID.
  • the delivery is made more efficient, wherein complementary detection means can still be used, if an immediate need arises.
  • the target groups as such or the addressees in general can thus be assured of an anonymous delivery which should strongly increase the acceptance, in particular also with respect to the content of the printed products.
  • the production of the target-group specific or the regionally oriented envelope products, as well as the associated supplements, can furthermore be realized at different times which allows for an efficient usage of the production machines and additionally ensures that the regional topicalities can also be included.
  • the target-group specific or the regionally oriented printed products can be detected easily with the aid of the envelope products, even in situations where interference occurs during the further processing, thereby making it possible to immediately introduce targeted correction measures.
  • a micro-regionalization can furthermore also be provided for the envelope products, without having to tolerate losses in efficiency.
  • FIG. 1 A schematic representation of the operational steps taken for assembling the printed products
  • FIG. 2 A schematic representation showing the stacking of the printed products
  • FIG. 3 A flow chart illustrating the operation of assembling the various printed products.
  • FIG. 1 shows the mode of operation of an apparatus consisting of different components that are operatively connected to each other.
  • a first mechanical device 1 meets the task of withdrawing the different envelope products A, B, C without resulting in empty cycles between two envelope products.
  • This mechanical device 1 forms one of the operating lines of the apparatus.
  • a second mechanical device 2 forms the second operating line of the apparatus which takes over the task of ensuring the transport and making available an optional supplement combination.
  • the two lines formed by the first and second devices 1 , 2 converge in an assembling device 4 in which the integration of a specific envelope product with a specific supplement combination takes place.
  • the apparatus is furthermore expanded with a different mechanical device 9 which functions as a modular expansion unit for further insertion options. As a result, the space inside an apparatus of this type can be utilized optimally.
  • a combination of two assembly elements is obtained which form an optional angle.
  • a transfer out or discharge station 10 is operative directly connected to the assembling device 4 and is used to remove incorrectly inserted supplements during further processing.
  • Arranged downstream of the discharge station 10 are stacking machines 6 which take over the further processing of the supplement combinations, including the envelope product, on the basis of client-specific packages.
  • a discharge unit 7 ensures that correctly assembled supplement combinations can be evacuated if malfunctions occur in the stacking machine 6 or during other situations.
  • a control unit 8 is designed such that a logistic coordination and visualization of the production is possible. Additional visualizations are possible, but are not discussed further herein.
  • Furthermore essential for the present apparatus is the mode of operation of the first and second mechanical device 1 , 2 .
  • the second mechanical device 2 in contrast to the first mechanical device 1 , delivers the autonomous supplement combinations for the envelope products in the correct sequence.
  • the two lines therefore carry out a boxer engine movement toward the center, which is oriented relative to the assembling device 4 arranged in-between, such that always precisely those partial products which are needed for assembling the printed products are supplied with precise timing. That also means that the production of the envelope products can take place completely independent of the production of the supplements.
  • the machinery for producing printed products can be reduced without having to produce ahead of time for storage and if the partial products can respectively be transferred-in at a later date.
  • a regional updating of the printed products is possible, meaning the last printed supplement will contain the most up-to-date news.
  • FIG. 2 shows the steps taken for configuring the apparatus, with the goal of handling the supplement combinations 11 .
  • the supplement combination 11 with the envelope product C corresponds precisely to the number of copies in a package, with the target location being the stacking machine STM 1 .
  • a different supplement combination 12 with the envelope product B which corresponds precisely to the number of copies in a package that is destined for the stacking machine STM 2 .
  • a clocked transporter 13 takes over the identification of each envelope product, including the supplement combination, thus making it possible for the printed products to be available.
  • a stacking machine 14 follows which then guides the finished copies to a client-specific package STM 1 .
  • a supplement combination 15 with the envelope product B which corresponds precisely to the number of copies in a package, with the stacking machine STM 2 as the target location.

  • a supplement combination 17 with the envelope product A which precisely corresponds to the number of copies of a package located partially in the transporter 13 and partially in the stacking machine STM 3 .
  • FIG. 3 shows a functional flow chart relating to the sequence of steps for adding regional, target-group specific supplements, or regional supplements to which target-group specific supplements are added at certain points or continuously.
  • a system 1 for autonomously producing envelope products wherein this system can make available differently embodied envelope products 1 . 1 ; 1 . 2 ; 1 . 3 .
  • the sequence of steps as shown is limited to three different envelope products A, B, C.
  • the system can also be configured so as to supply a larger number or a smaller number of differently marked envelope products, wherein this also affects the number of associated supplements which are provided.
  • a production 2 of regionalized supplements a, b, c.
  • the two lines A, B, C and a, b, c converge in an assembling device 4 which then produces integrated printed products 4 . 1 .
