Abstract

See full text

In a method and system for control of a shop floor of a factory, an individual work station (13) or a work station of an outfit (14a-14d) is associated with the work station of a corresponding local interface unit (18a-18e), comprising standard widespread hardware and software and connected to a local area network (11) in order to be connected with the shop floor control center (12) of the factory (10). The work stations of the local interface units are incorporated into a configuration in accordance with a standardized model making it possible to perform specific tasks within this model. Advantageously, the OSI model of the ISO standard is used to perform the specific tasks in the application layer of the OSI model. The work station of a local unit can advantageously substitute for the work station of the associated outfit.
