More than almost any other industry, the printing industry has been experiencing an uninterrupted series of trends towards digitization for decades. As a result, this change repeatedly forced established business models to be put to the test and new goals to be defined. In all process stages, from media design to print finishing, production processes have been digitized and automated to an extent that would have seemed almost inconceivable just 25 years ago. The increasing demand for variable content, ever-shorter print runs, and expedited delivery time has been driving this development further, as well as presenting print shop logistics with new tasks. Job management and Production Planning and Control (PPC) are currently being reorganized by the Internet, mobile communications and the transfer of crucial processes to the cloud.
