Digital manufacturing with product tracking and social media analysis of the product

A system comprising:

• a manufacturing execution subsystem to:
• generate an identifier for a manufacturing resource plan for manufacturing a product;
• and
• communicate the manufacturing resource plan and production steps for manufacturing the product to a production control subsystem controlling machines performing the manufacturing of the product according to the manufacturing resource plan and the production steps,
• the production control subsystem storing the identifier in a near field communication chip attachable to the product during the manufacturing to provide real-time tracking of the manufacturing throughout the steps;
• and
• feed adapters to:
• determine attributes of a product;
• generate keywords from the attributes for the product;
• connect to social media applications, where each of the feed adapters connects to a different one of the social media applications;
• and
• retrieve social media feeds from the social media applications based on the keywords generated from the attributes of the product;
• extractors to extract text related to the product from the social media feeds,
• the social media feeds including a text feed and a video feed;
• a text analyzer to:
• apply natural language processing to the extracted text,
• the natural language processing identifying a sentence from the extracted text containing a question and a sentence not containing a question;
• for the sentence determined to contain a question,
• determine an answer to the question from a repository, and
• post the answer to at least one of the social media feeds;
• and
• for the sentence determined not to contain a question, determine a sentiment for the sentence.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving product configuration information for a product;
• generating a production order based on the product configuration information;
• determining a manufacturing resource plan and production steps for manufacturing the product;
• generating an identifier for the manufacturing resource plan;
• communicating the manufacturing resource plan and the production steps to a production control subsystem controlling machines performing the manufacturing of the product according to the manufacturing resource plan and the production steps,
• the production control subsystem storing the identifier in a near field communication chip attachable to the product during the manufacturing to provide real-time tracking of the manufacturing throughout the steps;
• determining attributes of a product;
• generating keywords from the attributes for the product;
• connecting to different social media applications;
• retrieving social media feeds from the social media applications based on the keywords generated from the attributes of the product;
• extracting text related to the product from the social media feeds,
• the social media feeds including a text feed and a video feed;
• identifying a sentence from the extracted text containing a question and a sentence not containing a question;
• for the sentence determined to contain a question,
• determining an answer to the question from a repository, and
• posting the answer to at least one of the social media feeds;
• and
• for the sentence determined not to contain a question, determining a sentiment for the sentence.
