Abstract

A corrugated cardboard plant, including at least one corrugated cardboard production device for producing at least one corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side, having a respective corrugated web and a cover web; a connection device, disposed downstream of the at least one corrugated cardboard production device, for connecting the at least one corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side and a lamination web to one another, while forming an at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web; at least one cutting device for generating corrugated cardboard sheets from the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web; and at least one individual code reading device for reading corrugated cardboard sheet individual codes on at least one of the webs of the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web and/or on at least one of the webs for forming the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web and/or on the corrugated cardboard sheets.

Claims

1. A corrugated cardboard plant, comprising:

at least one corrugated cardboard production device for producing at least one corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side, having a respective corrugated web and cover web;

a connection device disposed downstream of the at least one corrugated cardboard production device for connecting the at least one corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side and a lamination web to one another, while forming an at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web;

at least one cutting device for generating corrugated cardboard sheets from the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web; and

at least one individual code reading device for reading corrugated cardboard sheet individual codes on at least one of at least one of the webs of the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web, at least one of the webs for forming the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web and the corrugated cardboard sheets.

2. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 1, further comprising:

at least one individual code printing device disposed upstream of the at least one cutting device for printing at least one of at least one of the webs of the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web and at least one of the webs for forming the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web having corrugated cardboard sheet individual codes.

3. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 1, further comprising at least one stocking installation for stocking at least one web already provided with corrugated cardboard sheet individual codes, as a component part of the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web.

4. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 1, wherein the corrugated cardboard sheet individual codes of at least two of the corrugated cardboard sheets differ from

5. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 1, further comprising at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device connected to the at least one individual code reading device.

6. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 5, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to track the corrugated cardboard sheet individual codes.

7. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 6, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device actuates individually at least one processing device in a manner corresponding to at least one read corrugated cardboard sheet individual code.

8. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 5, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to individually actuate a pre-heating device for pre-heating at least one web for forming the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web in a manner corresponding to at least one read associated corrugated cardboard sheet individual code.

9. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 5, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to individually actuate a gluing unit for applying glue to at least one web for forming the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web in a manner corresponding to at least one read associated corrugated cardboard sheet individual code.

10. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 5, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to individually actuate the connection device in a manner corresponding to at least one read associated corrugated cardboard sheet individual code.

11. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 5, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to individually actuate the cutting device in a manner corresponding to at least one read associated corrugated cardboard sheet individual code.

12. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 5, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to individually actuate a short transverse cutting device for diverting a defective piece of the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web in a manner corresponding to at least one read associated corrugated cardboard sheet individual code.

13. A corrugated cardboard plant according to claim 12, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to automatically issue an order for reproducing the defective piece of the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web.

14. A corrugated cardboard plant according to me claim 5, wherein the at least one corrugated cardboard plant control device is configured to individually actuate a longitudinal cutting/grooving device for longitudinally cutting and grooving the at least three-ply corrugated cardboard web in a manner corresponding to at least one read associated corrugated cardboard sheet individual code.

15.
