MES Parameter Generation for Batch Production Security

The patent introduces a manufacturing execution system (MES) as an intermediary layer between the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and the process control system. The MES receives product recipes from the ERP system, generates appropriate parameter sets based on product templates, and implements them into the process control system. This intermediary approach maintains security restrictions between ERP and process control layers while enabling efficient and accurate parameter implementation through the MES, thus resolving the contradiction between system security and implementation efficiency.

The system uses product templates as reusable copies of parameter configurations for different products. Instead of generating parameter sets from scratch for each production batch, the MES retrieves the appropriate template and generates the specific parameter set by processing the template with batch-specific information from the product recipe. This copying approach maintains accuracy through template validation while significantly reducing the time and computational resources required compared to creating parameters from scratch for every batch.

The product template approach enables local quality by maintaining general parameter settings that apply to similar products while allowing specific customization for each product and batch. The template provides the common structure and validated parameter relationships, while the MES processes batch-specific information from the product recipe to generate the final parameter set with product-specific adjustments. This ensures both reduced computational complexity (through template reuse) and maintained precision (through localized customization).
