Abstract:

In print media industries networked production gains increasing importance. The relatively young XML based communication standard (JDF/JMF) allows to specify workflow models and data exchange. The proposed concept of a simulation framework for modelling of networked print production is based on an object-oriented approach implementing modules for the resources and controls applied in this particular industry. The framework uses the JavaSim-simulation library and shall enable modelling of networked print production using the same JDF-/JMF-communication algorithms       as         applied in         real-world         system communication. This approach allows to integrate the framework in a digital factory concept using simulation for the factory planning phase and also for the operative planning and control of networked print production.
