A manufacturing execution system (MES) that provides tools for modeling and determining information about physical production lines made up of arrangements of entities. The MES includes configuration tools for modeling the entities in a physical production line. The MES also includes configuration tools for modeling the physical production line. Entity data models and line data models conform to the data structure of respective model templates. Line data models include line definition models and line layout models. Line layout models include an entity link model for each of the entities in the physical production line. The MES includes tools for dynamically determining the bottleneck for the physical production line. Other production metrics are also calculated using the MES.

Line management in manufacturing execution system

An industrial control system stores three types of models. Models of a first type are associated with models of a second type. When a model of the first type is associated with a model of a third type, the set of models of the second type that are associated with the model of the first type is established. The industrial control system can provide an indication of the set of models of the second type. The industrial control system also establishes the set of models of the first type that are associated with the set of models of the second type. The industrial control system provides an indication of the set of models of the first type. In some embodiments, the industrial control system is a recipe management system and the models of the first, second, and third types are capability models, equipment models, and recipe models.

Adaptive filtering in industrial control system

A software agent is described that receives an information request to retrieve information based on a name defined by a configured manufacturing data model. The agent serves the request by relating data coming from one or multiple backend systems and adding contextual data (Metadata). A result set is prepared to correspond to the format and filtering criteria defined in the information request, and the agent produces a response in a normalized format. The response contains the requested data and metadata used for navigation and contextualization purposes. The response in the normalized format is transmitted by the agent synchronously or asynchronously based on criteria specified in the request.
