Abstract
A production module for a production plant has a first data interface, an electronic response device, and a second data interface. The first data interface receives a list of tasks for producing an article or substance from a production module positioned downstream in the production direction. The electronic response device responds to tasks from the list of tasks which can be carried out by the production module. The second data interface sends the list of tasks to a production module positioned upstream in the production direction.
