Method for modelling and executing a production rule in a discrete manufacturing scenario

摘要

Method for modelling and executing a production rule of a production phase in a discrete manufacturing scenario, whereby the production rule is associated to a process element and comprises predefined production steps and predefined dependencies between the production steps, comprising the steps of loading a production rule into a production order manager, parsing the production rule and retrieving the predefined production steps and the predefined dependencies, optionally inputting user-defined parameters for the predefined production steps and the predefined dependencies, creating a state machine comprising the production steps labelled each one as a predefined state, further comprising the dependencies labelled each one as a predefined transition between two predefined states, forwarding the state machine to a process controller.
