  • Patent number: 8130397
    Abstract: A method is disclosed on the one hand for transmitting a color extraction, defining positions of pixels of a print color to be deposited onto a print sheet in a print run, in order to produce a print product, from a prepress system to a press system, and on the other hand a management information system for integrated planning and control of the production of print products in a networked graphic production, wherein a pre-press system and a press system can be connected to the management information system. In order to facilitate a conclusive management of the color information in the context of a CIP4 workflow, it is suggested that the color extraction is initially transmitted from the prepress system to a management information system, and subsequently there from to the press system.

  • Patent number: 8079582
    Abstract: A method for arranging pages of a print product on fold sheets that are subsequently combined into an imposition scheme on print sheets and for representing the production process and the product it produces is disclosed. The print sheets are initially imprinted with the pages and then cut into the fold sheets. The fold sheets are folded and cut and collated into the print products. To make the determination of the imposition schemes more flexible, the pages are initially assigned to partitions of the print products. Pages of a print product that are included in a partition are either not separated from each other, or are only separated from each other by a last cut of the print product.

  • Patent number: 8055524
    Abstract: A method for visualizing a processing status of an order is disclosed, wherein the order is issued by a management information system, and executed on an execution system, and wherein status reports associated with the order are transmitted from the execution system to the management information system in Job Definition Format, and incoming status reports are stored in the management information system. In order to achieve simple handling and administration with a high degree of reliability, and simultaneously, with a high degree of flexibility with respect to changing requirements profiles, it is suggested that the processing status for each visualization is determined from the stored status reports on the fly through a parser.

  • Patent number: 7949623
    Abstract: Initially a method for communication between a management information system, in which a field content is stored, and an execution system are disclosed, wherein the field content in Job Definition Format is transmitted from the management information system to the execution system, then a method for communication between a source system, in which a field content is stored in a file in Job Definition Format, and an executing system, wherein the field content in Job Definition Format is transmitted by the source system to the execution system, and eventually a communication module, through which a field content in Job Definition Format can be transmitted to an execution system, wherein in order to simplify communications between management information systems or source systems and execution systems in job format, and to render them less error prone, the field content is initially adapted according to a rule specified for the management information system, or the source system, and the execution system is adapte

  • Publication number: 20100049660
    Abstract: The procurement system includes that a quotation regarding the request for quotation can be only submitted by a seller through means of the procurement system, when he is registered and also personally identified in the procurement system so he is known as a seller with separately defined contact data and irrespective of the contact data in the list of the buyer whereby the seller determines his own billing address in the procurement system and thus prevents sending an invoice for example to other contacts, departments or divisions of the corporate group not related to the quotation.

  • Publication number: 20090185216
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for controlling the production of printed matter using a Management Information System (MIS), where first of all the MIS uses a request formulated by a customer to create an offer for producing the printed matter and transmits MIS order data to a print input stage system, and the print input stage system then uses an order formulated by the customer to create print input stage order data for at least one system which produces the printed matter. To simplify the handling of discrepancies between the order and the offer, it is proposed that the print input stage system transmit the print input stage order data to the MIS and that the MIS use the print input stage order data to control production of the printed matter.

  • Publication number: 20080243285
    Abstract: A method for planning and control of jobs is disclosed, wherein work steps (10, 11-19) are organised for the jobs with cost centres of limited capacity based on logical connections of the work steps (10, 11-19), determining a temporal sequence for carrying out the work steps (10, 11-19) and on the predicted duration of the execution of the work steps (10, 11-19) at the cost centres, with generation of a representation of a sequence for execution of the work steps (10, 11-19) of the job for each job, based on the organisation and also, for each cost centre, a work job with each work step (10, 11-19) to be carried out and furthermore, a management information system for organization and control of jobs for the production of printed items (1) in a networked graphic production with an organizing module, by means of which the work steps (10, 11-19) of the jobs are organized at cost centres with limited capacity and for generation, for each job, of a representation of a sequence for execution of the work steps (10,
