<p>There is described a method for controlled production of security documents, especially banknotes, wherein said security documents are subjected to a plurality of successive printing and processing operations (20.1, 20.2, ) on a plurality of processing stations. The method comprises the steps 5 of: (i)providing a computer network comprising a central server station (10) coupled via a data network (15) to a plurality of local computer stations (25.1, 25.2,, 26.1, 26.2, ), one local computer station (25.1, 25.2, ) being operatively coupled to each processing station (20.1, 20.2, );10 (ii)defining at least one production order, which production order involves the production of a desired volume of security documents according to a defined production workflow, this production order being subdivided into a plurality of production loads (30, 30*, 30**, ) each being assigned a machine- readable load identifier (35);15 (iii)assigning selected processing stations among available processing stations (20.1, 20.2, ) to carry out processing of the production order according to the production workflow; and (iv)selectively processing each production load (30, 30*, 30**, ) through the processing stations (20.1, 20.2, ) depending on the determined production 20 workflow of the corresponding production order defined for each production load, whereby each production load (30, 30*, 30**, ) is first subjected to a load acceptance procedure based on its machine-readable load identifier (35) before being authorized to be processed on a selected processing station among said available processing stations (20.1, 20.2, ).25 Also described isa system for carrying out said method.</p> |
