Abstract
Provided is an industrial printing system for industrial printing that can automatically process each composing job of a workflow according to the dependency. An order management unit manages each job that composes an order, which is the final product of the workflow of the industrial printing, as an order template. A job management unit calculates the job to be changed from each job managed by the order management unit when the job management unit acquires order change information. A job ticket management unit generates a job ticket for requesting change processing of a job to be changed calculated by the job management unit. A workflow processing unit performs the change processing of the job to be changed based on the job ticket generated by the job ticket management unit.

An industrial printing system comprising:
- an order management unit configured to manage each job of a plurality of jobs that composes an order, which is the final product of a workflow of industrial printing, as an order template;
- a job management unit configured to calculate a job to be changed from each of the jobs managed by the order management unit when the change information of the order is acquired;
- a job ticket management unit configured to generate a job ticket for requesting change processing of the job to be changed that is calculated by the job management unit;
- and
- a workflow processing unit configured to perform change processing of the job to be changed based on the job ticket generated by the job ticket management unit, wherein
- the order template includes dependency between the plurality of jobs that composes the order, and
- the job ticket management unit is configured to generate the job ticket for unplanned processing that occurs in the order according to the dependency included in the order template.
A server for an industrial printing system comprising:
- an order management unit configured to manage each job of a plurality of jobs that composes an order, which is the final product of a workflow of industrial printing, as an order template;
- a job management unit configured to calculate a job to be changed from each of the jobs managed by the order management unit when change information of the order is acquired;
- a job ticket management unit configured to generate a job ticket for requesting change processing of the job to be changed that is calculated by the job management unit;
- and
- a workflow processing unit configured to perform the change processing of the job to be changed based on the job ticket generated by the job ticket management unit, wherein
- the order template includes dependency between the plurality of jobs that composes the order, and
- the job ticket management unit is configured to generate the job ticket for unplanned processing that occurs in the order according to the dependency included in the order template.
An industrial printing management method executed by an industrial printing system, comprising the steps of:
- managing each job of a plurality of jobs that composes an order, which is the final product of a workflow of industrial printing, as an order template;
- calculating a job to be changed from each of managed jobs when change information of the order is acquired;
- generating a job ticket for requesting change processing of the job to be changed;
- and
- performing the change processing of the job to be changed based on generated job ticket, wherein
- the order template includes dependency between the plurality of jobs that composes the order, and
- the generating step comprises generating the job ticket for unplanned processing that occurs in the order according to the dependency included in the order template.
