Graphics Industry V.I.P. Kiel:
Solution Gaining Acceptance
The EAE solution V.I.P. – Visual Intelligent Plant – is an interdepartmental
order planning system for printing houses. V.I.P. visualizes and plans capacities
and resources of all departments in a printing company in the areas
of prepress, press, and postpress. In future, the German newspaper Kieler
Zeitung will plan print orders with V.I.P.
The individual production steps in the
overall workflow in the printing house
are attuned to one another in an optimal
time sequence and, to the degree possible,
without any gaps in equipment utilization.
V.I.P. permits simulation of production
alternatives. A cost calculation module opens
up the possibility of transparent calculation of
production costs. V.I.P. has now been on the
market for more than five years. The four modules
that make up the solution are now being
used in different configurations in well known
printing houses, including Axel Springer AG
in Essen-Kettwig, Rheinisch Bergische Druckerei
GmbH (RBDG) in Düsseldorf, the Itali -

ONE (1) Stacking system (2x4 ABL)
an publisher Rizzoli Corriere della Sera (RCS)
in Milan, and El Mundo in Madrid.
News of the continuing success and good reputation
of the EAE solution has now reached
Kiel as well. So the printing house “Kieler
Zeitung GmbH & Co. Offsetdruck KG” also
called on the workflow specialist EAE when it
needed to select a cross-manufacturer management
system for order planning across
the whole of the printing house.
In July 2008, the time had come. The “Kieler
Zeitung,” represented by “Kieler Zeitung Offsetdruck
Verwaltungs-GmbH,” commissioned
EAE to install the V.I.P. solution with the
following modules:
