Method for Simultaneous Data Visualization of Data Stemming From Controlling and/or Monitoring an Industrial Production Process

摘要

A method for the visualization of one or more dimensions of data. The data originate from controlling and/or monitoring an industrial production process, which is controlled by a manufacturing execution system. The visualization creates a virtual reality landscape by mapping the data onto symbols. The symbols are contained in a symbol library and they are selected in dependency of the value for the data.

主权项

1. A method of visualizing one or more dimensions of data in a manufacturing execution system (MES), the method comprising:
acquiring data from controlling and/or monitoring an industrial production process that is controlled by the manufacturing execution system (MES); creating a virtual reality landscape by mapping the data onto symbols, the symbols being comprised in a symbol library, each symbol having a range for a value of the data or a specific data value assigned thereto; selecting the symbols in dependence on the value for the data; and displaying the virtual reality landscape to a user for enabling the user to control and/or monitor the industrial production process.
