Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, this second way has the disadvantage that it is not possible to develop generic screens, but only project-specific ones
[0023] Unfortunately, in the two known ways of customizing MES webpage screens, the source code of the webpage must be modified

Embodiment Construction

[0057] According to the invention, the user interface of the screens of a generic MES software application is customized taking into account specific user needs. This screen is a web page, referred to herein as a page screen.

[0058] Within the SIMATIC MES Application Suite, MES page screens are built via the Client Application Builder, which is a web-based graphical user interface for building cross-functional graphical screens. SIMATIC IT's Client Application Builder is based on Microsoft ASP.NET technology, so when a page is delivered on the client it consists of HTML and script.

[0059] A toolbar, hereinafter referred to as a configurable toolbar, is provided as a configurable graphic control for at least the page screen. Within a configurable toolbar, a set of customizable buttons is presented.

[0060] The possibility is provided to add to the set of customizable buttons at least one forward smart navigation button which, if clicked at runtime, advances to an additio...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for customizing a user-interface of a page-screen of a general purpose MES software application taking into account a specific customer requirement, the invention comprising: a) providing, for at least one page-screen, a toolbar which is a configurable graphic control, herein after referred as configurable toolbar, wherein the configurable toolbar comprises a set of customizable buttons; b) providing, within the set of customizable buttons, the possibility to add at least one forward smart navigation button which, if clicked at run-time, is directing to an additional page screen, the calling page screen and the called additional page screen are hereinafter referred as source page and target page respectively; b) providing a graphic configuration tool for enabling the configuration of the configurable toolbar; c) at engineering time, through the configuration tool, exploring the source page so that the configurable toolbar is presented with the set of customizable buttons; d) at engineering time, through the configuration tool, adding, to the set of customizable buttons, at least one forward smart navigation button in order to direct to a given selected target page; e) at engineering time, through the configuration tool, associating to the added at least one smart navigation button the URL address of the given selected target page according to a given customer requirement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a system for customizing a GUI (Graphical User Interface) of a MES (Manufacturing Execution System) screen according to the preambles of claims 1 and 10 respectively. Background technique [0002] In today's industrial automation environment, to increase competitiveness, manufacturing companies need to simultaneously reduce time-to-market, increase process visibility and production flexibility, optimize forecasting and scheduling, and reduce scrap, inventory levels, and downtime; while also To ensure optimum quality and production efficiency in all global factories. [0003] Therefore, in order to meet these demand targets, manufacturing companies need an integrated IT infrastructure that helps manufacturing companies coordinate production on a global scale and, if necessary, in real time. A Manufacturing Execution System is generally known as an IT layer that integrates business systems such as ERP (Enter...
