Source to target translation for manufacturing

A method for control of manufacturing of one or more production articles by facilitating source to target translation and synchronization of production details for manufacturing of one or more production articles, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of versioned technical design inputs in structured and unstructured formats, the plurality of versioned technical design inputs for the manufacturing of the one or more production articles;
• receiving a plurality of translation inputs corresponding to one or more parameters associated with the plurality of versioned technical design inputs;
• automatically generating, via a data model-based translator module, a mapping of the plurality of versioned technical design inputs to a plurality of manufacturing data elements of a manufacturing system, each manufacturing data element corresponding to a respective data-model instance in the manufacturing system, and based on the plurality of translation inputs;
• and
• generating, in the manufacturing system, a plurality of manufacturing routings for implementing production of the one or more production articles, wherein each manufacturing routing is aligned with data-model instances to provide synchronized production detail translation between the design inputs and the manufacturing system;
• maintaining the mapping and the manufacturing routings in versioned form;
• monitoring changes to any of the versioned technical design inputs, and
• in response to detecting a design change, propagating an update through the mapping to the manufacturing data elements and automatically updating an affected manufacturing routings so as to synchronize the design change with the manufacturing system.

A system for control of manufacturing of one or more production articles by facilitating source to target translation and synchronization of production details for manufacturing of one or more production articles, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and at least one non-transitory memory storing computer executable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the system to carry out actions comprising:
• receiving a plurality of versioned technical design inputs in structured and unstructured formats, the plurality of versioned technical design inputs for the manufacturing of the one or more production articles;
• receiving a plurality of translation inputs corresponding to one or more parameters associated with the plurality of versioned technical design inputs;
• automatically generating, via a data model-based translator module, a mapping of the plurality of versioned technical design inputs to a plurality of manufacturing data elements of a manufacturing system, each manufacturing data element corresponding to a respective data-model instance in the manufacturing system, and based on the plurality of translation inputs;
• and
• generating, in the manufacturing system, a plurality of manufacturing routings for implementing production of the one or more production articles, wherein each manufacturing routing is aligned with data-model instances to provide synchronized production detail translation between the design inputs and the manufacturing system;
• maintaining the mapping and the manufacturing routings in versioned form;
• monitoring changes to any of the versioned technical design inputs, and
• in response to detecting a design change, propagating an update through the mapping to the manufacturing data elements and automatically updating an affected manufacturing routings so as to synchronize the design change with the manufacturing system.
