7. TexWIN Control Structure (2)
Two layers of the Controle Structure:
• Factory Controller: optimisation, harmonisation and
coordination of the process chain
– information and specification about quality of the resulting product
will be used for optimisation of the production process
– coordination of a running production process
– provides interfaces to communicate with other Factory Controllers,
ERP, and MES
• Production Unit Controller: experience based adaptive
control of individual production units
– Case Based Reasoning (CBR)
– creation of a large case base and the adjustment
of the adaptation rules by the Analysis module
