The present invention provides a novel distributed factory system framework including a novel factory automation lifecycle (200) having lifecycle activities for SW developing and integrating (210), installing and administrating (220), factory modeling (230), manufacturing planning (240), manufacturing controlling, monitoring and tracking (250) and analyzing of manufacturing results (260). The factory lifecycle comprises framework components. The distributed factory system framework also includes application components and building blocks. The framework components are adapted to for managing the application components, while the application components are utilized to provide instructions for managing a process such as a wafer fab. The building blocks are adapted for forming or modifying framework and application components. The distributed factory system framework provides computer implemented methods for integrating processing systems and facilitates process and equipment changes.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for compiling production and planning information. In one embodiment, a system for planning the production of a product includes at least one database configured to store engineering information related to the product, and further configured to store process information related to the product, and a processor coupled to the at least one database to combine selected information from the at least one database to generate a manufacturing planning document that defines the product. In another embodiment, a method of generating a manufacturing bill of material for a selected product includes compiling a process data structure from the process information, compiling a product data structure from the engineering information, and generating a manufacturing bill of material by combining the process data structure and the product data structure.

A customer-orientated manufacturing planning and controlling system. An order management module is programmed to receive an order for a product and reserve a capacity for the order based on a capacity model that considers a plurality of capacity vectors in a production system. A plan engine generates a fixed production schedule for the order based on the capacity model. A priority management engine provides a priority for the order. A production schedule monitor and evaluation module determines whether the order in process conforms to the fixed production schedule by statistical process control (SPC) and whether to adjust the fixed production schedule and to adjust the priority based on a dynamic achievement model of historical fixed production schedules, based on historical production information in a production database storing production information of the production system.

Methods and systems according to the invention may be used to modify a manufacturing plan for an object manufactured by an additive manufacturing process. A digital representation of a desired object and a manufacturing plan may be compared to manufacturing information generated via an evaluation of such an object. Based on that comparison, the manufacturing plan may be modified so that that object or a subsequent object is highly similar to the desired object.

An information processing device includes: for each of a plurality of machine tools, a machine information database configured to store machine configuration information and tool information of each of the plurality of machine tools, in association with each of the plurality of machine tools; an information collection unit configured to collect and store the machine configuration information and the tool information into the machine information database; a manufacturing planning work information input unit configured to receive manufacturing planning work information; a machine information collation unit configured to collate the manufacturing planning work information with the machine configuration information and the tool information to give a score to each of the plurality of machine tools, based on a result of the collation; and an optimum machine selection unit configured to select an optimum machine tool for machining, based on the score given to each of the plurality of machinetools.

The intelligent interaction platform and its interaction method for the manufacturing of reducer parts In accordance with the needs of customized reducer manufacturing, various production resources within and outside the enterprise can be reasonably allocated, and the reducer parts can be intelligently managed hierarchically and manufactured on demand. , improve the utilization rate of various resources, reduce the production cost of products, and improve the production efficiency of products. The specific solution is to set up an interactive management system, one or more key parts manufacturing units, and one or more general parts manufacturing units; the key parts manufacturing units are used to receive the key parts manufacturing demand plan of the interactive management system and feed back manufacturing intentions. Execute the manufacturing plan of the key parts of the reducer according to the instructions of the interactive management system, the general parts manufacturing unit is used to receive the general parts manufacturing demand plan of the interactive management system and feed back the manufacturing intention, and execute the reducer according to the instructions of the interactive management system. Manufacturing plans for general components.
