    摘要: A production module for performing a production function on a product, production system, production planning device, and method for planning the production of the product, wherein a plurality of production modules are intercoupled, where a self-description information set is stored within each production module as a database, e.g., NoSQL, OWL, ontology, SPARQL, which comprises properties of the production module, where if a production information set comprising the production steps required to produce the product is present, then the production information set and the self-description information sets or parts thereof are transmitted to a production planning device to plan production of the product and a production procedure plan for a product to be processed is determined, and where the production procedure plan comprises an information set about a sequence of production modules of the production system, which sequence a product should pass through to produce an intermediate product or end product.

    摘要: A control device for a production module that has a settings management module for detecting restrictions for operating settings of the production module and for producing corresponding restriction data records is provided. A data memory is provided for the purpose of storing a local restriction table containing a multiplicity of restriction data records. A balancing module is used to iteratively read in first restriction data records in a corresponding restriction table of a first adjacent production module, to iteratively build the local restriction table on the basis of the first restriction data records which have been read in and to iteratively forward second restriction data records in the local restriction table to a second adjacent production module. A control module is also provided for the purpose of setting an operating setting according to a restriction data record which identifies this operating setting.

    摘要: Provided is a production module for processing or handling a product in a production system, which production module has a product detection module for reading in product parameters associated to the product, and an interaction module for assigning an adjacent production module to a transfer port. Furthermore, a local assignment table is provided, in which non-adjacent conveying objectives in the production system are in each case assigned to one of the transfer ports. A balancing module serves for iterative reading of first assignment information of a corresponding assignment table of a first adjacent production module, for iterative formation of the local assignment table with the aid of the read-in first assignment information, and for iterative transfer of second assignment information of the local assignment table to a second adjacent production module.
