Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system and a method for producing individual value and security documents from raw material pieces.
  • the security documents produced can be, for example, identity cards or other identification cards (ID cards) or can be bound as individualizing cards in a book-shaped identification document, for example a passport book, such as a passport.
  • value documents can be, for example, credit cards or cash cards.
  • Identification documents in particular identity documents such as identity cards, are used to verify a person's identity. Identity documents are issued by government agencies in the exercise of their sovereign duties, for example to enable the document holder to cross the border into another state or to identify themselves to an official body or other persons.
  • One such identity document is the German identity card, which is currently issued in the form of an ID card in ID-1 format in accordance with ISO/IEC 7810 in the version valid on the priority date of the present application.
  • the ID card contains the data that individualizes (personalizes) the holder of the document, such as name, date and place of birth, nationality, a facial image and the digitally recorded and printed signature of the holder of the document, as well as a serial number that identifies the document, the date of issue of the document and information about the issuing authority and the type of document. It also contains the holder's current place of residence and other biometric data (height, eye color).
  • the ID card is also equipped with various security features that allow a third party to verify the authenticity of the document, for example by means of a guilloche print, a facial image of the holder and the machine-readable zone of the document with the A hologram displaying personal and other data as well as a cinematic object showing, for example, the federal coat of arms.
  • the ID card can also be incorporated as a component into a book-shaped security document, for example a passport book.
  • a book-shaped security document for example a passport book.
  • passport books contain additional book pages on whose pages so-called visas from the countries the person is entering can be affixed.
  • the document card, the passport book pages and a cover are connected to one another using a stitching process.
  • the document card for example an ID card
  • the document card is provided with a so-called passport flap, which protrudes laterally beyond the intended format of the document card and is stapled together with the passport book pages.
  • DE 10 2008 031 654 A1 It is clear that such document cards, which are made exclusively from polycarbonate layers, are not suitable for incorporation into a passport book. It is therefore usual to produce document cards with a card body in which at least one layer is incorporated, which consists of a different plastic material that is suitable for binding into a passport book and enables the document card to be easily turned over in the passport book. This plastic layer is incorporated in such a way that it forms the tab with which the document card is bound into the passport book.
  • a method for a manufacturing device comprises: performing a plurality of non-bonding processes during at least one web-based manufacturing phase and during at least one film-based manufacturing phase.
  • the processes can be performed by several modules.
  • the modules can be independently controlled and/or monitored.
  • the modules can be interchangeable.
  • One or more modules can receive material and/or pass it on to another module.
  • the manufactured Objects can be smart cards.
  • a manufacturing device according to the generic term of the claimed system is also described.
  • the US 2007/008587 A1 describes a system for processing printed products.
  • the system comprises a transfer station which is provided with a feed point for feeding printed products from a delivery station to the transfer station.
  • the transfer station further comprises a number of connection points and a removal point.
  • a processing station is connected to each of the connection points.
  • An output station is connected to the removal point.
  • the transfer station is further provided with a transport device for moving the printed products within the transfer device between the feed point, the various connection points and the removal point.
  • the printed product fed to the transfer station at the feed point is transported in any order from the transfer station to one of the processing stations. After the processing process in a specific processing station has been completed, the printed product is moved back to the transfer station. At the removal point, the finished printed products are removed from the transfer station.
  • the US 2014/246139 A1 describes print finishing processes, comprising feeding sheet-shaped printed products, laminating, coating and foil stamping, wherein the steps are carried out in treatment modules and the printed product to be finished is first detected and aligned in each treatment module.
  • a print finishing machine for sheet-shaped printed products is described, with a sheet conveyor system, a laminating device for laminating the printed product with a laminating film, a coating device for coating the printed product with a coating and a foil stamping device for transferring a transfer layer adhering to a carrier film to the printed product at the points to be printed.
  • the laminating device, the coating device and the foil stamping device each contain at least one section of the conveyor system and the sections of the conveyor system are suction conveyor devices.
  • the US 6,003,863 A describes a device and a method for transporting flexible sheets in a processing process.
  • the identification documents (security documents) described above are produced in the traditional way in production plants that are based on so-called island solutions, ie the individual production steps are carried out in only loosely linked plant parts.
  • the required starting materials and resulting intermediate products are stored and transported by hand in boxes from one plant station to the next, ie the documents are produced in batches.
  • This approach is disadvantageous, for example because the system requires a lot of space and the systems are stationary.
  • these systems are inflexible in terms of their suitability for producing different types of documents, since only one type of document can be produced in a batch, so that the lead time for the identification documents is long.
  • Another problem is that the individual process steps require different capacities of the system components intended for them. This problem can be exacerbated by the fact that individual system modules can fail, meaning that the production of the documents has to be interrupted and the lead time of the batch is extended again. The same applies if individual documents are produced incorrectly and therefore have to be produced again.
  • one object of the present invention is to create a production plant that requires little space and is also very flexible in use so that different types of value and security documents can be produced.
  • a production process intended for this purpose should be able to be carried out in the production plant.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the further object of creating a system for producing valuable and security documents and a method for producing them, with which a rapid production of different types of valuable and security documents is possible.
  • system module refers to a physical production unit that makes changes to the properties of the raw material pieces fed to it. For this purpose, individual or multiple raw material pieces can be fed into and removed from the physical production unit.
  • system module should also include magazine modules in particular, which can store raw material pieces upstream, temporarily and/or downstream.
  • 'individualized' and 'individualizing' refers to a property of a valuable or security document, for example a credit or ID card or a passport, according to which the document can be assigned to a specific subject (person, animal, object). This property results from predetermined security features of the valuable or security documents.
  • 'personalized' and 'personalizing' refers to the property of a valuable or security document according to which the document can be assigned to a person.

  • This has the advantage that such a multi-axis robot and/or articulated arm robot is particularly compact and transport paths between the system modules can be designed particularly ergonomically. Furthermore, this allows an extremely compact structure of the system and it is also possible to flexibly adapt the system to local conditions and/or an existing production line, since a multi-axis and/or articulated arm robot can also carry out difficult gripping and/or holding maneuvers, for example "reaching around the corner", due to its flexible and space-saving transport path.

  • a processing step in one of the system modules can then be individually designed, for example by controlling the system modules accordingly using the system control unit.
  • the operating status of the system or individual system modules can also be recorded and evaluated by the system control unit.
  • the system can then be flexibly controlled depending on the system status. For example, it can be recognized that a system module is currently carrying out a processing step and is therefore not currently available for processing another piece of raw material. If another system module is available that can carry out the same processing step, this can be used flexibly by feeding the piece of raw material to be processed to this system module.
  • One advantage of the invention is that it makes maintenance of the system significantly easier.

If several similar system modules are available for a processing step, the module that requires maintenance can be or defective system module can be removed from the production planning, serviced or repaired by a technician and then switched back on. If only a single system module is available for a processing step, a technician can also integrate an identical system module into the system, include the additionally integrated system module in the production planning and exclude the system module to be serviced or defective from the production planning. After maintenance or repair has been carried out, the serviced or repaired system module is switched back on, while the additionally integrated system module is removed and removed. Any impairment of the production process caused by maintenance or repair can thus be prevented or minimized.

  • the transport device is preferably designed in such a way that the time required to transport a piece of raw material from one system module to another system module is shorter than the time required to complete a preceding or subsequent processing step in the system module. This ensures that system modules can always be fully utilized and the waiting times in which one or more pieces of raw material are added to or removed from a system module are kept to a minimum. In this way, the production of the valuable or security documents can be desynchronized, since the supply and removal is not tied to a production cycle. This is a great advantage of the invention compared to production in which the pieces of raw material are transported, for example, using a conveyor belt.
  • the corresponding processing step is carried out in all system modules simultaneously or in an overlapping manner, so that the system as a whole can be optimized for high overall throughput. It is also possible for several valuable or security documents to be produced simultaneously.

If, for example, an individual processing scheme provides that the system modules 2 "A", "B” and “G” are to be approached one after the other, a piece of raw material is first fed by the transport unit 4 to the system module 2 "A" by selecting the gripping and/or holding means 8 corresponding to the piece of raw material to be transported by the system control unit 5 and equipping the transport element 7 with the corresponding gripping and/or holding means 8.

Exchange is then not necessary, since the gripping and/or holding means 8 and the further gripping and/or holding means are available directly on the transport element 7. This can reduce the transport time.
