ABSTRACT:
System for collating and binding signatures to produce customized versions of boks or magazines, comprising a conveyer running along a number of workstations, including feeder stations, printer stations and a stitching station and comprising a number of checkpoints, one for each of the abovementioned stations. The system includes furthermore a reject, station and a computer system to control the various stations. This computer system comprises a number of controllers, one for each of said stations coupled to a central computer by means of a network. During operation of the system each controller is loaded with suitable software enabling the controller to control the functioning of the assigned station independent of the other controllers and whereby the transfer of a message indicating the malfunctioning of one of said stations from the respective controller to the central processor will cause the central processor to send a message to the printer stations, feeder stations and stitching station downstream of the station n which the malfunctioning occured instructing these stations to stop the further production of the book or magazine influenced by said malfunctioning to send a message to the reject station to reject said non-completed book or magazine and to send messages to all stations to update the data defining the magazines or books to be produced such that a replacement for the rejected non-completed book or magazine will be produced.
