Abstract
A manufacturing action is performed on a first part or first component involved in a manufacturing process. The manufacturing action is directed by computer software that is stored in a memory and executed by a processor. The first part or first component is examined to determine results of the manufacturing action. Based upon the results, a structure of the computer software is selectively changed to optimize the results. Subsequently the manufacturing action is performed on a second part or second component. The manufacturing action is directed by the computer software having the changed structure.
Claims19
A method of optimizing a manufacturing process, the method comprising:
- analyzing a first part or a first component to determine results of a manufacturing action on the first part or the first component;
- selectively changing a structure of computer software to optimize the results of a manufacturing action, the manufacturing action being directed by the computer software, the computer software being stored in a memory and executed by a processor.
A system, comprising:
- an industrial machine that is configured to perform a manufacturing action on a first part or first component, the machine including a controller executing computer software that directs the manufacturing action;
- an analyzer circuit that is configured to examine the first part or first component to determine results of the manufacturing action, the analyzer circuit further configured to based upon the results, selectively change a structure of the computer software;
- wherein the machine is configured to subsequently perform the manufacturing action on a second part or second component, the manufacturing action being directed by the computer software that has the changed structure.
