Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for controlling resources integrated to perform a process on a work product within an environment where at least one of a first of the resources and the work product is a moveable item that moves during the process, the method comprising the steps of providing an information device on the moveable item, ascertaining the location of the information device and controlling at least a first of the resources as a function of the location of the information device. For instance, in one example, a drill press may be activated to form a hole in a work product when an information device on the work product is at a specific position with respect to the drill station.
