Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1338542A1] The present invention relates to an installation for collating stacks of printed products. The installation consists, inter alia, of a gathering machine, a predetermined number of feeders and a computer, the feeders being equipped to feed printed products to the gathering machine and stacks of printed products being produced in batches. Each batch consists of a set of groups of stacks where all stacks within a group have the same composition of printed products. The computer determines a feeder schedule in which it is specified which feeder has to be activated, deactivated or changed over at what point in time. The computer of the invention also determines a (sub)optimum batch sequence. As a result of determining this (sub)optimum batch sequence in advance, the number of times that a feeder that has been used for a particular batch has to be changed over for a subsequent batch during the batch processing process will be as low as possible. As a result, the time for which the gathering machine has to be stopped is minimum. <IMAGE>
