MES with embedded repeatable segment requirements

摘要

Manufacturing Executing System (MES), comprising computing means and software tools to control machines involved in a production process, the MES being design to realize production requirements comprising at least one segment requirement (32) characterized in that the Manufacturing Executing System further comprises:
h. means for a user to define whether a segment requirement is repeatable or not;
i. a database (26) designed to store segment requirements, the database further comprising for each segment requirement:
i. a dedicated area to store each segment requirement repeatability status;
ii. a dedicated area to store at least a current value of a parameter acquired during an execution of the segment requirement and representing the result of the execution of the segment requirement;
iii. a dedicated area to store expected values of the parameter;
j. a coordinator (28) operable to communicate with the database to access the segment requirement, and operable to determine whether or not the execution of a segment requirement has to be repeated.
