Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating mechatronic functional modules for the production, processing, inspection and/or intermodular transport of containers for liquid products in a production system, and to a corresponding production system. According to the invention, the functional modules each store, in machine-readable form, individually assigned initial design data and specification data and initial topological data at least regarding the product flow in the production system and the communication between the functional modules. Because the functional modules are also controlled using the initial design data, specification data and/or topological data, production processes and maintenance measures can be particularly flexibly carried out, in a decentralized way, with greater efficiency and with the possibility of intermodular data transfer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a production system for producing, processing and/or filling containers and to a method for the production control and/or system specification of this production system. According to the invention, at least one visually imperceptible intensive state variable or material characteristic of components of the containers, which components are provided as solid bodies, is measured in the area of the production system with respect to the batch and/or object in question. Furthermore, at least one production process proceeding therein for treating and/or transporting the components/containers by machine is controlled on the basis of the measured material characteristic and/or intensive state variable. In this way, quality fluctuations of the components can be quantified and can be used both in the control and in a simulation of the individual production processes in order to optimize these production processes and the associated process units.
