COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MACHINES AND FEED-FORWARD CONTROL IN EVENT-BASED PRODUCT MANUFACTURING

Providing communication between machines (32A and 32B) and feed-forward control in event-based product manufacturing. Some of the disclosed embodiments include a system (30), method, and computer-readable media for communicating data relating to a material (34) between machines during a process (36) for feed-forward control. Also disclosed are an intelligent event-based manufacturing system including a process for converting a raw material (34) to a product (42) and a method of reducing the probability of waste, delay, or a quality defect in a process having process conditions for the manufacture of a product (42) from a sequentially trackable raw material (34). The embodiments are operable in an intelligent manufacturing system (30) including a process for converting raw materials (34) to a product (42), a process control system (54) including one or more sensors (46) capable of generating an alarm in response to an event that results in one of waste, machine delay, or decrease product quality, a data logger (58) associated with the process control system for obtaining event parameters associated with the event, a database on a server (170) for recording event parameters obtained by the data logger, and a reporting system cooperatively associated with the database (70) for reporting productivity parameters regarding the process derived at least in part from the event parameters. Proporcionando comunicacion entre las maquinas y control de suministros hacia delante en una fabricacion de productos a base de evento. Algunas de las incorporaciones descritas incluyen un sistema, metodo y medios leibles por computadora para comunicar datos relativos al material entre las maquinas durante el proceso para un control de suministro hacia delante. Tambien esta descritos un sistema de fabricacion a base de evento inteligente que incluye un proceso para convertir una materia prima en un producto, y un metodo para reducir la probabilidad de desperdicio, retraso o defecto de calidad en un proceso que tiene condiciones de procesos par la fabricacion de producto desde una materia prima perseguible secuencialmente. Las operaciones operan en un sistema de fabricacion inteligente incluyendo un proceso para convertir materias primas en un producto, un sistema de control de proceso incluyendo uno o mas sensores capaces de generar una alarma en respuesta a un evento que resulta en uno de desperdicio, retraso de maquina o disminucion de calidad de producto, un alojador de datos a
