A production configuration is determined for controlling a product processing plant that comprises a collecting system having a conveyor and a plurality of feeders for preparing product collections from products supplied by the feeders. The production configuration defines a production of a plurality of production sequences for a plurality of delivery routes, wherein each delivery route is assigned one or more production sequences, each of which define a production of a plurality of production collections of a collection type comprising a plurality of products. For each feeder an occupancy with products, which are to be conveyed by the feeder to the conveyor for preparation for the product collections, is determined. A production optimization parameter determines whether a defined production order is to be maintained for the delivery routes or whether the production order of the delivery routes can be altered. If the production order can be altered, the production sequences of a plurality of delivery routes for the production of production collections of the same collection type are combined to a cohesive production sequence and the occupancy of the feeders is determined for the production order with combined production sequences.

Computerised control device and computer-implemented method for controlling a product processing plant, and computer program product

The invention relates to a computer-implemented graphical user interface () comprising a work area and multiple widgets (W, W, W, W) that are arranged on the work area such that said widgets are visible to the user. Each output widget (W) comprises one or more content windows (FI) with data elements. The widgets (W, W, W1, W) and the content windows (FI) are coupled such that a content window (FI) and/or data elements that are selected in said window can be moved by the user from an output widget (WI) in which said content window and/or data elements are arranged into one of multiple possible target widgets (W, W, W) that are visible to the user for processing.
