| # Processing Trigger Definition In mixed model flow production environments many activities are based on the progress information of individual orders. When an event selected by the user occurs for an order on a certain line station another activity can be started. In the system, process triggering covers the automatic start and execution of a process baded on an event. The concept of process triggering holds that an event at a certain line station is used as a trigger to fire the execution of a session. For example, the completion of a line station order can be used as a trigger to execute the Start Print Work Instructions (tiasc5451m000) session to print work instructions for the next line station. This way you can also use events on a main assembly line to trigger processes on a supplying line to synchronize the production process. These events can trigger processes: Completion of a line station order. Offsetting of a line station order. When an event occurs at a certain station it can trigger the start and automatic execution of activities on a specified other station such as: Requesting assembly start at a supplying line. Printing of work instructions. Generation of call-off against purchase schedule. Note The concept of process in this session bears no relationship to either the process industries (chemical engineering) or to the distinction between process engineering and production engineering used elsewhere in Assembly Control. You must use the Display and Handle Process Triggers (tiasl8210m000) session to enable the triggers. Related topics Assembly control overview |
