A method, arrangement and computer program product for operating and controlling a production line for manufacturing and / or packaging articles of the tobacco processing industry

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating and controlling a production line (10) for manufacturing and / or packaging articles in the tobacco-processing industry, the production line (10) at least two production machines (11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 21 , 22) and at least two logistics machines (15, 16, 17, 19), by means of which material and / or intermediate products are provided for the production machines (11, 18, 20, 21, 22), comprising the steps of determining the production machines ( 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 22) respectively assigned production setpoints based on at least one production order specification by means of a line control (24), the line control (24) receiving at least one production specification from a production planning and control system (25) , and is characterized by setting the production setpoints by transmitting the production setpoints, preferably from the line control (24) to the machine controls of the Production machines (11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 22), setting the respective target throughput rates of at least one of the logistics machines (15, 16, 17, 19) that the production machines (11, 18, 20, 21 , 22) are each assigned, the respective target throughput rates being set automatically on the basis of the specified production target value of the respective production machines (11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 22), direct setting of the target throughput rate at least one of the logistics machines (15, 16, 17, 19), preferably by the line control (24) on the basis of the at least one production order specification. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding arrangement for operating and controlling a production line (10) for the manufacture and / or packaging of articles in the tobacco processing industry, as well as a computer program product, stored on a computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable software code, which is characterized in that with the computer-readable software code, the steps according to the method according to the invention are carried out by means of a computer.
