    Description: The invention relates to a device for production planning and production control of a digital printing press and at least one downstream of the digital printing machine further processing device according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a further processing planning module of such a device.
    In the following description text, this device is referred to as a production planning and production control system.
    In printing companies are increasingly digital printing machines use. In contrast to conventional offset printing machines, digital printing machines are particularly suitable for printing print jobs when a large number of changing print jobs have to be printed in small print runs. For example, in digital printing presses, the exposure of printing plates required for offset printing presses and the replacement of printing plates between different print jobs are eliminated. This then eliminates set-up times at the printing press.
    It is already known in practice that a digital press includes a production planning and production control system to plan and control the printing of print jobs on the digital press. Thus, production planning and production control systems of a printing machine known from practice have a digital printing planning module and a printing press computer.
    The digital print scheduling module receives print job data from print jobs to be printed, checks the received print job data and thus the print jobs for printability on the digital press, and generates print control data based on the print job data for valid and printable jobs. This print control data provides the digital printing scheduling module to the printing machine computer, wherein the printing machine computer converts the print control data of the valid print jobs into drive data for individual modules, in particular drive data for printing units or print heads, of the printing press in order ultimately to print valid print jobs on the digital press.
    Then, when the digital printing machine at least one further processing device, such as a cutting device and / or a folding device and / or a stapler downstream, is also the or each further processing device must be controlled. So far, it is not possible to incorporate a further processing device automatically in the data flow of the production planning and production control system, rather takes place in known from practice digital printing machines controlling the or each of the digital press downstream processing device either manually or by means of printed on a substrate control marks, such as using barcodes. This limits the degree of automation when printing with digital presses.
    On this basis, the present invention seeks to provide a production planning and production control system of a digital printing press and at least one of the digital printing press downstream processing device and a further processing planning module of such a production planning and production control system, which allow a higher degree of automation.
    This object is achieved by a production planning and production control system according to claim 1. The production planning and production control system according to the invention comprises a further processing planning module, wherein the further processing planning module receives imposition schemata of the valid print jobs generated by the digital printing scheduling module for each valid print job and checks whether the respective imposition schedules can be processed using the or each subsequent processing device downstream of the digital press, wherein the further processing scheduling module if the imposition scheme is unworkable, communicating a status message to the digital printing scheduling module that inhibits printing of the particular print job on the digital press, and wherein the scheduling engine, when the imposition schedule is editable, transmits a status message to the digital printing scheduling module that is printing of the respective print job on the digital press, and on the other hand Far processing control data generated and transmitted to a further processing computer directly or indirectly, the generated therefrom control data for the or each further processing device.
    The present invention proposes a production planning and production control system by means of which the or each of the digital printing press downstream processing device can be automatically integrated into the data flow of the production planning and production control system. This can increase the degree of automation of a production planning and production control system of a digital press. By means of the production planning and production control system according to the invention, the or each subsequent digital processing machine downstream of the digital printing machine can be controlled automatically, and corresponding control data for the or each further processing device can be automatically generated. Thus, the further processing or post-processing of printed products printed on a digital press is integrated into the data flow, which can increase the efficiency of digital printing.
    According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention production facilities for the or each of the digital printing press downstream processing device are stored in the further processing planning module, the further processing planning module matches the imposition of a print job with the production options and so checks whether the imposition scheme downstream using the or each of the digital printing press Further processing device is editable. The above check, whether an imposition scheme of a print job on the or each of the digital press downstream processing device is editable, is automated with little effort by the further processing planning module feasible.
    The printing machine computer and the further processing computer exchange synchronization data. In this way, operation of the digital printing machine matched to the or each of the digital printing press downstream processing device is automatically possible.
    Preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the description below. Embodiments of the invention will be described, without being limited thereto, with reference to the drawing. Showing:
    1 shows a diagram of a production planning and production control system of a digital printing press and with at least one downstream of the digital printing machine further processing device.
    The present invention relates to a production planning and production control system of a digital printing machine and at least one of the digital printing press downstream processing device.
    Fig. 1 shows a highly schematic of the basic structure of an inventive production planning and production control system 10 together with a digital printing machine 11 and downstream of the digital printing machine 11 further processing facilities 12. Fig. 1 it can be seen that the digital printing machine 11 is designed as a web-fed printing press, the the printing of a stock as Bedruckstoffrolle BR printing substrate BB is used. Fig. 1 shows a roll changer RW, on which a Bedruckstoffrolle BR is kept, with a printing substrate BB is subtracted using a feed train EW of the Bedruckstoffrolle BR and printing units DE the digital printing machine 11 is supplied for printing the same. In Fig. 1, a total of eight printing units DE or printheads are shown, by means of which the printing substrate BB can be printed on both sides in color. The printing material web BB printed in the digital printing machine 11 can be pulled out of the area of the digital printing machine 11 by means of a drawing device ZE and fed into the area of the or each of the digital printing press 11 downstream processing device 12, wherein in FIG. 1 as further processing devices 12 schematically a cutting device SE and a Folding device FE are shown. By means of the cutting device SE, individual copies can be separated from the printed printing material web BB by cross-cutting, which can be provided with the aid of the folding unit FE with a longitudinal fold and / or transverse fold.
    It should be noted that the above-mentioned components of the digital printing press 11 and the further processing devices 12 are purely exemplary nature.
    The production planning and production control system 10 has a digital printing scheduling module 13 which receives print job data from print jobs to be printed. This print job data 14 of the print jobs to be printed, which the digital print planning module 13 receives, are preferably in PDF format.
    The digital printing scheduling module 13, which receives the print job data 14, checks the print job data 14 and thus the print jobs for their printability on the digital press 11 and generates based on this review of the print job data 14 print control data 15 for valid and print jobs, the digital print planning module 13 this Pressure control data 15 a printing press computer 16 of the production planning and production control system 10 provides. These pressure control data 15 are present, for example, as a print data stream in the form of IPDS data or AFF data.
    The printing machine computer 16 receives the pressure control data 15 from the digital printing planning module 13 and generates therefrom control data 17 for the individual modules of the printing press 11 to print valid print jobs on the digital printing press 11. All of the above steps or functions of the production planning and production control system 10, which provide the digital printing scheduling module 13 and the printing press computer 16, automatically expire.
    The inventive production planning and production control system 10 further includes a further processing planning module 18, the further processing planning module 18 imposition scheme data 19, which automatically generates the digital printing planning module 13 based on the print job data 14 from valid print jobs or which contain the print job data 14 automatically receives and checks.
    The Ausschießschemadaten 19 are in particular in JDF format. The communication between the digital printing planning module 13 and the further processing planning module 18 is preferably done by JMF data.
    The further processing planning module 18 checks whether the respective imposition scheme of a print job using the or each of the digital printing machine 11 downstream processing device 12 is editable, namely in terms of the possibilities of or each finishing device 12 from a machine engineering point of view. Then, when the further processing planning module 18 determines that an imposition scheme is not editable, it automatically generates a status message 20 and transmits the same to the digital pla planning module 13 to prevent the printing of the respective print job on the printing press 11, since then one on the printing machine 11th printed print job in the area of or any further processing device 12 can not be edited.
    On the other hand, if the further processing planning module 18 determines that an imposition scheme of a print job can be processed on the further processing device 12, the same transmits a corresponding status message 21 to the digital printing scheduling module 13 to allow the printing of the respective print job on the digital printing press 11. Further, if the same determines that an imposition scheme can be processed, the further processing scheduling module 18 generates further processing control data 22 and automatically transmits them directly to a further processing computer 23, wherein the further processing computer 23 automatically generates control data 24 for the respective further processing device 12 from the further processing control data 22, thus If several further processing devices 12 are the same parallel or simultaneously controlled.
    The further processing control data 22 are available in a proprietary format of the machine control.
    The further processing control data 22 generated by the further processing planning module 18 for editable imposition schemes and thus valid print jobs preferably comprise default values and corresponding parameter sets for the or each further processing device 12.
    In further processing planning module 18, production options for the or each of the digital printing machine 11 downstream processing device 12 are stored or stored, the further processing module 18 matches a provided by the digital printing planning module 13 imposition of a print job with the production possibilities of the or each further processing device 12 and so checks whether the imposition scheme can be processed using the further processing device 12 and thus handled.
    It is thus possible via the further processing planning module 18 to automatically integrate the or each further processing device 12, which is downstream of a digital printing press 11, into a data flow of a prepress and the printing operation and thus automatically control the or each further processing device 12. As a result, the entire print job can be handled fully automatically starting from the prepress stage to further processing or postprocessing, so that the printing in the digital printing press 11 and the postprocessing in the or each further processing device 12 can be optimally matched to one another in order to further increase the efficiency in digital printing ,
    It should be noted that it may be at the digital printing machine 11 and each of the digital printing machine 11 downstream processing device 12 to modules of different manufacturers.
    Furthermore, it is possible to automatically complete in the further processing planning module 18 incomplete parameter sets for the or each further processing device 12 and to optimize corresponding parameter sets.
    The further processing computer 23 can transmit status messages of the individual further processing devices 12 to the further processing planning module 18 in order, for example, to in the case of an error message of a further processing device 12, a limited availability of the respective further processing device 12 in the automatic examination of the respective imposition scheme by the further processing planning module 18 to automatically take into account.
    1, the printing press computer 16 and the further processing computer 23 exchange synchronization data 25, namely synchronization data 25 for a speed synchronization and a section synchronization.
    In the speed synchronization, the printing speed of the digital printing press 11 is tuned to the further processing speed of the or each further processing device 12. As a result, a constant web tension for the printing material web to be printed can then be ensured.
    In the section synchronization, both a forward synchronization and a backward synchronization is possible.
    In the forward synchronization, the digital printing press 11 serves as a clock for the or each further processing device 12, whereas in the reverse synchronization, a further processing device 12 serves as a clock generator for the digital printing press 11.
    Accordingly, with the production planning and production control system 10 according to the invention, the or each subsequent processing device 12 downstream of a digital printing press 11 can be automatically controlled. In this case, not only the printability of a print job on the digital printing machine 11, but also the processability of a imposition scheme of the print job on the or each further processing device 12 is automatically checked in advance.
    Only if both the print job on the digital printing press 11 is printable and the respective imposition scheme can be processed automatically on the or each further processing device 12 is

    allowed to print the print job. In all other cases, the print job is deferred until the validity or validity of the print job with regard to the printability on the digital printing press 11 and with respect to the processability on the or each further processing device 12 is established. The core component of the inventive production planning and production control system is the further processing planning module 18, which automatically checks a generated imposition scheme for its processability on the or each further processing device 12.
