US 2013/0173038 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING LIFE-CYCLE OF BATCH IN PRODUCTION CONTROL SYSTEM IN REAL TIME

Abstract

The embodiments herein provide a system and method for managing life cycle of a batch in a production control system in real time. The system comprises of an enterprise management system, manufacturing execution system (MES), task execution assistance (TEA) system and a production control system. The TEA system is interfaced between the MES and the production control system for executing the production request. The batch production request generated by the enterprise management system is received by the MES wherein the MES forwards the batch production request to the TEA system. The TEA system obtains information required to execute the batch production request from the production control system. Upon obtaining the information the TEA system instructs an operator to create the batch in the production control system. The production control system confirms the creation of the batch and updates real time status of the batch to the TEA system.

Dependent claims

A system for managing life cycle of a batch in a production control system in real time comprising:

an enterprise management system configured to generate a batch production request;
a manufacturing execution system (MES) configured to receive the generated batch production request and to generate one or more batch commands corresponding to the batch production request;
and
a task execution assistance (TEA) system interfaced between the MES and the production control system is configured into plurality of interfaces comprising:
a command receiving interface configured to receive the generated one or more batch commands from the MES and to update status to the MES.
a command execution engine (CEE) configured to list, execute and monitor one or more actions to be performed in a sequence for the received one or more batch commands;
one or more adapter interface for receiving one of the listed one or more actions to be performed from the CEE and routes it to corresponding interface provided on the production control system;
the production control system configured to supply required information for one or more actions to be performed to the CEE through the corresponding interface for completing the one or more actions.

A method for managing life cycle of batch in a production control system in real time comprising acts of:

generating a batch production request by an enterprise system;
receiving the generated batch production request by a manufacturing execution system (MES) and generating one or more batch commands for the received batch production request;
receiving the generated one or more batch commands by a command receiving interface of a task execution assistance (TEA) system;
listing one or more actions to be performed in a sequence for the one or more batch commands by a command execution engine (CEE) of the TEA system;
receiving the one or more actions by corresponding adapter interface of the TEA system and routing the received one or more actions to corresponding interface provided on the production control system;
providing required information for the one or more actions to be performed by the production control system to the CEE through the corresponding interface for completing the one or more actions;
providing instruction to an operator to execute one or more batch commands in the production control system by the CEE through OEI adapter interface upon completion of the one or more actions;
and
executing the one or more batch commands and reporting status of the batch to the command receiving interface by the production control system for managing life cycle of the batch.
