Factory level process and final product performance control system |
摘要 |
A factory control server stores module configuration data for modules. The modules include processes for producing a final product and have corresponding module requirements. The factory control server analyzes in real-time actual product output data that is generated by a final product tester after a factory produces at least one final product to determine whether the actual product output data meets an expected product output. The factory control server analyzes actual module data in real-time to determine a new module requirement to cause new actual product output data for a subsequent final product to meet the expected product output in response to a determination that the actual product output data does not meet the expected product output. The factory control server notifies a module controller in real-time of the new module requirement. The module controller changes parameters in real-time to manufacture the subsequent final product. |

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
storing, by a factory control server including a processing device, module configuration data for a plurality of modules, wherein the plurality of modules comprises processes for producing a final product, and the plurality of modules has corresponding module requirements; analyzing in real-time, by the factory control server, actual product output data that is generated by a final product tester after a factory produces at least one final product to determine whether the actual product output data meets an expected product output; analyzing, by the factory control server, actual module data in real-time to determine a new module requirement to cause new actual product output data for a subsequent final product to meet the expected product output in response to a determination that the actual product output data does not meet the expected product output; and notifying, by the factory control server, a module controller in real-time of the new module requirement, wherein the module controller changes parameters in real-time to manufacture the subsequent final product using the new module requirement. |
