Abstract (en)

A computer network is used to manage and monitor operation of a box-finishing machine (12,14,16,18,20) which prints information on and cuts or creases corrugated boards (24) to be formed into boxes. The equipment used on the machine is provided with radio frequency information tags (74) detected by an electronic reader (76) which transmits the identification to a computer so that it can be determined by an operator that sufficient equipment is in storage (62,64,66) and staging areas (78) for use on the machine. Several computer terminals (80) are provided at different areas (64,66) throughout a plant so that access is easily provided to different personnel.
