Embodiment Construction

[0055] According to the present invention, the user interface of the page screens of the generic MES software application is customized in consideration of a set of customer requirements. It is to be noted that the term "generic" as used herein indicates that some specific customized MES products are required to be generic. However, even an industry-specific MES product is considered "generic" in this context because the industry-specific MES product is not tailored to the specific needs of a given client or project but only Customized for some specific needs.

[0056] Within the MES application, at least one page screen is provided, the page screen comprising at least one configurable graphical control comprising at least one customization area customizable via a plugin.

[0057] A graphical configuration tool is provided for implementing configuration of configurable graphical controls of a page screen user interface in at least one customization area.

[0058] Furthermore...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for customizing the user interface of a page screen of a generic MES software application taking into account a set of customer requirements; including: providing within the MES application a page including a configurable graphical control containing a custom area customizable via a plug-in screen; provides a graphical configuration tool that enables configuration of configurable graphical controls; also includes, at engineering time: also provides configurable plug-ins whose software code includes additional configurable graphical controls; specifies information for configurable plug-ins via the configuration tool; browses pages screen such that a tree is presented with at least one node representing a configurable plug-in under the node representing a configurable graphical control, and below that at least one node representing an additional configurable graphical control; selecting a particular node representing a particular additional configurable graphical control ; Provides nested plug-ins that meet the requirements of the attached given customer; specifies information for nested plug-ins that link the nested plug-in to the custom area of ​​the attached configurable graphical control.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for customizing a GUI (Graphical User Interface) of an MES screen. Background technique [0002] As defined by the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA International), an MES system manages "production operations from the point where an order is placed to manufacturing to the point where a product is delivered as a finished product" and by providing "a Communicate mission-critical information about production activities to other departments within the organization and to the supply chain" as a "dynamic information system that drives the efficient execution of manufacturing operations". The international standard for developing MES systems is often referred to as ISA-95 or S95. [0003] The goal of MES systems developed by software vendors is to provide manufacturing companies (clients) with the tools to measure and control production activities in order to increase profit margins, in...
