Abstract
A method for decentralised operation of a production system for producing, manufacturing and/or assembling products and/or goods, which includes at least three participants in a production environment, in which each participant includes a computing unit, in which a skill spectrum can be detected by the respective participant, and wherein each participant comprises a transmitting and receiving unit for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves.
Claims15
A method for decentralised operation of a production plant for producing, manufacturing and/or assembling products and/or goods, which comprises at least three participants in a production environment, each participant comprising a computing unit, in which a skill spectrum can be detected by the respective participant, and each participant comprising a transmitting and receiving unit for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves, the method comprising the following steps:
- acceptance of a production order comprising at least one task from a production system of the production plant by a participant who forms a production participant;
- identification by the production participant of a task of the at least one task that lies outside the skill spectrum and transmission of the identified task to the production environment;
- receipt of the transmitted task by at least one other participant in the production environment and checking by the participant whether the performance of the task is within the participant's skill spectrum;
- transmission of an offer to perform the task by at least one auxiliary participant into the production environment, which is formed by one of the further participants, in which the performance of the task is within the skill spectrum of the participant;
- and
- determining the auxiliary participant whose skill spectrum is most suitable for performing the task and performance of the task by the determined auxiliary participant.
