Abstract
The disclosure relates to digital models of a production apparatus. The digital models can generate simulations of production sequences of the production apparatus, and a controller can access the simulation to improve operations of the production apparatus. The digital model uses data of a locating system to create the simulation. The locating system monitors carriers for transporting components. The controller can compare parameters of the simulation results with corresponding parameters of earlier simulation results and/or actually obtained parameters of earlier production sequences, which can be stored in a model library. The disclosure further relates to corresponding production control methods.
