Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an arrangement for the manufacture of software products ready for dispatch.
  • one or more data carriers are combined with one or more manuals and packed into a finished software product that is delivered to a customer.
  • a manual is taken from a stocked manual warehouse in a picking point, a data carrier is removed from an existing data carrier warehouse, both are assembled, packaged, possibly temporarily stored and then delivered to a customer.
  • a disposition or order processing system determines the short-term need for printing units and causes it to be grouped by printing unit, printed on high-performance printing presses, sorted into an intermediate storage area and picked and shipped in the ordered quantity for customers.
  • the print templates can be stored electronically and via high-performance computer printers, usually with connected collation works to increase the throughput by multiple printing of each page.
  • the data carriers for software products are manufactured by using a disk duplication device, in which daily or weekly requirements are sorted according to products and stored in a further intermediate store.
  • a manual (set) from the intermediate storage for the manuals and a data carrier (set) from the intermediate storage for data carriers are combined and packaged for each.
  • the interim storage facilities are necessary for the merging, since the respective partial products are created in groups.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and an arrangement with which the two intermediate stores and in particular the effort involved can be avoided.
  • the invention solves this problem in that the data carriers and the manuals are not grouped, but rather are each created in order.
  • the writing station for the data carriers and the printer for the manuals can then be arranged spatially close to one another and the two components of a software product can be produced virtually synchronously.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic arrangement for the implementation of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows how a software product 15 is manufactured and picked according to the invention.
  • An order control system 10 is used in which the orders of the customers are recorded and managed.
  • the order concerns a software product that consists of software in the form of coded data and one or more manuals.
  • the software is stored on a data carrier 13 and is delivered together with the (or the) manuals 14 as a finished product 15.
  • Both the data for the data carrier and the data for the manual, which are preferably prepared for printing, are stored in one or more computer systems, for example using the ARCIS system from Siemens Nixdorf. In order to simplify the description, it is assumed below that these data are also stored in the job control system 10, although mostly own computer systems are used for this purpose and the job control system only contains references to the data.
  • the orders for software products to be delivered are managed in a queue by the order control system and are delivered at the appropriate time.
  • a writing station 11 a device for writing to data carriers
  • a printer 12 are connected to the job control system 10 and the data stored therein.
  • the job control system 10 now, normally in response to a corresponding ready message from an operating personnel (not shown), writes a data carrier 13 with the data of the actual software and also prints out one (or more) associated manuals 14 on the printer 12.
  • the writing station 11 is preferably a special diskette copying station, which comprises a storage magazine of empty disks.
  • a device can be provided for writing to CD-ROM data carriers, such as are known as "CD writers”. Writing devices for other data carriers such as DAT tapes etc. are also possible.
  • High-performance printers are preferably used as printer 12 in order to be able to print out the manual in a time comparable to the creation of data carrier 13.
  • printers one of which is slow, but can, for example, produce the front page as a color printer.
  • the printed pages are preferably held together with a binding known as thermal binding or spiral binding.
  • An envelope or spine for the bound sheets preferably contains a pocket into which the data carrier produced is inserted immediately after its completion and that of the manual. The finished software product can then be packaged and shipped. In this way, all warehousing is avoided.
  • the writing station 11 and printer 12 are preferably arranged adjacent to one another, so that one and the same operator assembles the data carrier 13 with the manual 14. Unless this solution is not applicable, the output can also take place in separate places.
  • Data carriers 13 and manuals 14 are output in the same order and are not stored further; merely, for example, the disks are placed in a transport relationship in the order in which they are issued and then transported to the printer, where they are combined with the manuals in exactly this order. Since both the printing time and the writing time are predetermined, the job control system can design the output in such a way that at the end of the day all data carriers and manuals are combined and there are possibly packaged but not yet dispatched units. It is also possible to combine a writing station with several printers or vice versa, but here too there is no storage, but only buffering to compensate for different working speeds.
  • each manual is printed 14 contract individually, in a development of the invention it is provided that can be updated accordingly "the data to be printed, that in the printed work, an order number or other order-related indication, such as the customer name is included.
  • This information therefore need not, although different from manual to manual, can be added with great effort after printing, for example with stickers or inserts.
  • the identifier listed in the manual can also be the order number and the serial number available in the software, so that an assignment is possible via the archive data of the order control system, but not directly by the person who illegally possesses both Manual as well as a possibly not associated copy of the software, so that the commercial unlawful reproduction is difficult.
