In an industrial processes, a properly instrumented line facilitates capture of data including detected steps, application input, and execution graph transitions, that permit the creation of empirical models of process timing. In this context, a process controlled by individual applications, e.g., at manufacturing workstations, provides a proxy for overall process timing by dividing a workflow into a number of discrete steps completed at each workstation, and further into any number of sub-steps, each controlled by a user and explicitly completed, e.g., by user interactions with widgets or other controls of the application. These applications provide a useful framework for modeling execution timing by providing an initial, implicit model for workflow (based on application control logic) that also facilitates automated detection of process sub-steps based on execution flow, as well as detection and measurement of the contributions of individual widgets and / or combinations of widgets to the process timing. By gathering data in this manner, mixed statistical distributions can be applied based on individual timing data for each possible sub-step, widget, process step, and the like performed with each application.

It can accurately predict key indicators of OTA upgrade activities and provide quantitative basis for proactive intervention and resource planning, significantly improving upgrade completion rate and operational efficiency.

It acquires work orders and scheduling tasks, generates a scheduling execution sequence, and divides the sequence into at least two consecutive execution segments based on any boundary such as mold change completion, first piece confirmation, or the upper limit of consecutive stamping cycles. A set of release evidence points is set for each execution segment, including at least one of the following: mold change completion, first piece inspection passed, stamping permission signal, and stable protection circuit.

Based on the reason code, the unreleased segment is adjusted in sequence, migrated, or a verification check is inserted, and the stamping cycles are limited or the cycle time is reduced. An updated sequence is generated, and the release judgment is repeated. By dividing the execution segments and verifying evidence points for segmented release, combined with reason codes and hierarchical restrictions, safe, controllable, and balanced stamping production scheduling is achieved.
