A computer architecture for monitoring a manufacturing process of a physical object, object data that identifies the physical object being assigned to various hierarchical levels, object data of various hierarchical levels being grouped to form hierarchical object data records, limit values for at least one process parameter being stored and respectively assigned to a hierarchical object data record, process data of the at least one process parameter, measured during the manufacture of the physical object, being stored and the hierarchical object data records corresponding to the object data being determined for the physical object manufactured, the architecture configured to perform the following method:
- storing an unspecific value for the hierarchical level if no specific value is stored in the object data record for the hierarchical level;
- storing process data for at least one process parameter for a corresponding hierarchical object data record;
- comparing the process data stored for the corresponding object data records with the stored limit values for the corresponding object data records;
- iteratively processing the hierarchical level of the object data record of the stored process data according to a predeterminable hierarchy from a highest hierachical level to a next-lower hierarchical level, and repeating the comparing and the iteratively processing until the processing has reached a lowest hierarchical level, wherein the object data record has object data that identifies a logistical level of the physical object, the logistical level assigned to the hierarchical level with a limit value for at least one process parameter being stored and respectively assigned to a hierarchical object data record.
