Abstract
A method is provided for operating an automated process defined by an execution model. The automated process includes a plurality of sub-processes. The method includes detecting an event during a first sub-process of the plurality of sub-processes, and resetting the first sub-process by operating an unload procedure that is written into the execution model. The method also includes operating at least one of a pre-process and a pre-sub-process procedure to facilitate continuing the automated process at a predetermined step of the automated process. The pre-process and the pre-sub-process procedures are written into the execution model.
Claims20
A method for operating an automated process defined by an execution model, wherein the automated process includes a plurality of sub-processes, said method comprising:
- detecting an event during a first sub-process of the plurality of sub-processes;
- resetting the first sub-process by operating an unload procedure that is written into the execution model;
- operating at least one of a pre-process and a pre-sub-process procedure to facilitate continuing the automated process at a predetermined step of the automated process, wherein the pre-process and the pre-sub-process procedures are written into the execution model.
An automated system comprising:
- automated equipment;
- and
- a processor configured to operate the automated equipment by:
- operating an automated process defined by an execution model, wherein the automated process includes a plurality of sub-processes;
- detecting an event during a first sub-process of the plurality of sub-processes;
- resetting the first sub-process by operating an unload procedure that is written into the execution model;
- operating at least one of a pre-process and a pre-sub-process procedure to facilitate continuing the automated process at a predetermined step of the automated process, wherein the pre-process and the pre-sub-process procedures are written into the execution model.
A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium, said computer program comprising at least one code segment configured to instruct a computer to:
- operate an automated process defined by an execution model, wherein the automated process includes a plurality of sub-processes;
- detect an event during a first sub-process of the plurality of sub-processes;
- reset the first sub-process by operating an unload procedure that is written into the execution model;
- operate at least one of a pre-process and a pre-sub-process procedure to facilitate continuing the automated process at a predetermined step of the automated process, wherein the pre-process and the pre-sub-process procedures are written into the execution model.
