A monitoring system of a dynamical arrangement of pieces takes part in a process related to a manufacturing executing system is presented. At least one of the pieces is spatially movable and the arrangement is free of interfacing signals for signaling a spatial position of the pieces at a control unit of the manufacturing executing system. The monitoring system contains a camera which is spatially positionable in a free selected neighborhood closed to predefined pieces and which acquires an image of a field of interest of the dynamical arrangement, a motion detection unit at an output of the camera that provides a detection of a spatial motion of one of the pieces, and an interface at the output of the camera for transmitting the acquired image to an input of a monitoring unit to extract information on a status of the arrangement which is interpretable in the control unit.
A configuration comprising:
A method of using a monitoring system of a dynamical arrangement of pieces taking part in a process related to a manufacturing executing system, wherein at least one of the pieces is spatially movable and the dynamical arrangement does not have interfacing signals for signaling a spatial position of the pieces to a control unit of a manufacturing executing system, the method which comprises the steps of:
