Abstract: A method of assigning a hub to a job source may include identifying one or more job sources where one or more print jobs are received, identifying one or more hubs to which the print jobs can be sent to be processed, determining a processing cost for each unique pair of job sources and hubs, creating, by a computing device, a job source list by identifying the pair associated with the largest processing cost, assigning the job source of the identified pair a highest position in the job source list, and repeating the identifying and the assigning for a next highest position until all identified job sources are assigned, and assigning the job source having the highest position in the job source list to an associated hub having a lowest processing cost.

Abstract: A print job planning system determines a current state of a print shop and a set of expected disturbances for the print shop. It uses the current state and the set of expected disturbances to determine a cost for anticipated work in progress associated with various actuations. It also identifies a minimum cost from the determined costs, along with an actuation that corresponds to the minimum cost. It may then generate a report of the actuation, generate a work schedule based on the identified actuation, and/or cause the identified actuation to be implemented by at least one print device of the print shop.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for capturing information is disclosed. The method includes emitting energy of a first wavelength from a first energy source located proximate to a first end of a digital pen and forming a first set handwritten markings on the substrate by causing the substrate to image as a result of an exposure of the substrate to the energy emitted from the first energy source. The method also includes detecting by an image-capturing sensor of the digital pen a first detected portion of a position-identifying pattern on the substrate and storing in the memory a digital document file comprising the first set of handwritten markings and the first detected portion of the position-identifying data. An apparatus and system for performing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of determining a cell configuration in a print production environment may include identifying a set of print devices to assign to a cell, identifying a print device number, identifying one or more subsets of print devices from the set, where each subset includes a unique portion of the print devices in the set, and each subset includes a number of print devices equal to the print device number, performing a simulation of operation on each subset to determiner a subset performance metric for each subset, selecting one of the subsets based on the associated subset performance metric, decrementing the print device number by an amount, updating the set with the selected subset, and repeating the identifying one or more subsets, performing the simulation, selecting one of the subsets, decrementing the print device number and updating until no subset performance metric satisfies a performance constraint.
