Abstract
A production system includes a production machine and a control device for generating a control command for the production machine based on production data. The control device includes an analysis apparatus to decide based on a prespecified quality criterion, whether an activated functionality, which is integrated in the control device, or an alternative functionality, which is provided in a database outside the control device or in unactivated form in the control device, is used to translate the production data into the specific control command, so that the control command which is output by the control device is replaced by a control command more suitable to satisfy the prespecified quality criterion. The control device is configured to save a control file for the alternative functionality, to provide the control file for a translation, and to provide the alternative functionality for a prespecified period and/or for a predetermined number of useful cycles.
