Production installation with time-indexed historical display

A production facility for automatically manufacturing parts, comprising at least one of (i) a pallet carousel facility for manufacturing reinforced concrete elements and (ii) a reinforcement production facility for manufacturing reinforcement elements, said production facility including:

• an electronic control computer connected to sensors and control elements and configured to control a production functional sequence,
• a first display device for schematic graphical representation of said production facility and a current status data thereof,
• a mass data storage device for storing a status data of said production facility in a time-indexed manner over a period of time beyond a production time for the parts, and
• an electronic computer unit and a second display device for retrieving and displaying in graphical form historical status data stored in said mass data storage device, together with a schematic graphical representation of said production facility,
• wherein said electronic control computer, said electronic computer unit, said first display device, and said second display device are configured to display in graphical form in a historical view a schematic graphical representation of said production facility and at least one of a current view of a production facility representation and the historical status data stored in said mass data storage device, and
• wherein said electronic control computer, said electronic computer unit, said first display device, and said second display device are further configured to display, in the historical view, a delay time corresponding to a dwell time of each of the parts at a corresponding one of a plurality of cycle stations after issuance of a signal for the parts to proceed to a subsequent one of said cycle stations.
