The invention relates to a production system for producing, processing and/or filling containers and to a method for the production control and/or system specification of this production system. According to the invention, at least one visually imperceptible intensive state variable or material characteristic of components of the containers, which components are provided as solid bodies, is measured in the area of the production system with respect to the batch and/or object in question. Furthermore, at least one production process proceeding therein for treating and/or transporting the components/containers by machine is controlled on the basis of the measured material characteristic and/or intensive state variable. In this way, quality fluctuations of the components can be quantified and can be used both in the control and in a simulation of the individual production processes in order to optimize these production processes and the associated process units.
A method for production control and/or system specification of a production system for producing, processing and/or filling of containers, wherein at least one visually imperceptible intensive state variable or material characteristic of components, provided as solid bodies, of the containers is measured in an area of the production system with respect to a batch in question and/or with respect to an object in question, and at least one production process running therein for treating and/or for transporting the components/containers is controlled by machine on the basis of the measured material characteristic and/or intensive state variable, and wherein the at least one intensive state variable or material characteristic is measured on an input side with respect to the corresponding production process or sub-process.
