Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT A PROCESSING OPERATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/072351
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for carrying out a processing operation, in particular for producing and/or testing chemical products, comprises at least two processing stations (1-11) and at least one self-propelled transport vehicle (W) for transporting an object to be treated to the processing stations, each of said processing stations subjecting the object to at least one processing step. The system has a main control computer (C) designed to communicate with the processing stations and the transport vehicles. The transport vehicles (W) are designed to store individual identification information provided by the main control computer (C). Process control information (I) is made available by the main control computer (C), said information describing: to which steps an object is to be subjected, under which conditions and in which order; and to which processing stations the object is to be transported by the transport vehicles in order to be subjected to these steps. The main control computer (C) assigns individual process control information (I) to the identification information of a transport vehicle. The processing stations (1-11) detect the identification information of an oncoming transport vehicle and carry out the processing of the object provided on the transport vehicle on the basis of the process control information assigned to said identification information.
