Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a production system. The production system includes at least one production unit configured to produce at least one first product. The production unit has at least one processing tool configured to process at least one starting material supplyable to the production unit in order to produce the first product. The production unit also has at least one peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least one peer-to-peer application of at least one peer-to-peer network. The peer-to-peer application is configured to cause transmitting of at least one first control data set to the production unit, and the processing tool is controllable in accordance with the received first control data set.

Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a supply medium exchange system. The system includes at least one supply medium exchange station having at least one supply medium exchange interface. It is configured to exchange a supply medium with at least one mobile unit including at least one supply medium storage and at least one first peer-to-peer module assigned to the mobile unit. It is also configured to communicate with at least one peer-to-peer application of at least one peer-to-peer network. The first peer-to-peer module is configured to cause a generation of a supply medium exchange release message for releasing of the exchange of the supply medium between the mobile unit and the supply medium exchange station by means of the peer-to-peer application.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a control system of a first entity. The control system has a forecast module that creates a supply medium plan of a supply medium unit of the first entity. The supply medium unit is a supply medium consumer, a supply medium producer, and/or supply medium storage. The supply medium unit connects to a physical supply channel network. A peer-to-peer module receives at least one supply medium offer message of a further entity by communicating with a peer-to-peer application of a peer-to-peer network. The peer-to-peer module causes generation of a supply medium transaction agreement about the physical exchange of a supply medium between the first and further entity through the peer-to-peer application based on the supply medium plan and the supply medium offer message. A controlling module controls the supply medium unit in dependence of the generated supply medium transaction agreement.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system that includes at least one transport broker entity is provided. The transport broker entity is configured to provide at least one mobile transport unit that is configured to transport at least one object. The transport broker entity includes a first peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least a first peer-to-peer application of a first peer-to-peer network. The transport broker entity also includes a first entity having a peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least the first peer-to-peer application of the first peer-to-peer network. At least upon a triggering by the first peer-to-peer module of the transport broker entity and/or the peer-to-peer module of the first entity, the first peer-to-peer application is configured to generate an object transport agreement about the physical transport of the object between the first entity and a further entity at least partly by means of the mobile transport unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a meter of a supply system, having at least one measuring module configured to measure at least one quantity parameter of a supply medium flowing through a supply channel. The meter includes at least one peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with a peer-to-peer application of a peer-to-peer network. The measuring module is configured to provide the measured quantity parameter of the supply medium to the peer-to-peer module via a communication connection arranged between the measuring module and the peer-to-peer module. The peer-to-peer module is configured to provide at least the measured quantity parameter to the peer-to-peer application.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a system, in particular a supply system, comprising a first entity connectable to at least one physical supply channel network, at least one further entity connectable to the physical supply channel network, at least one peer-to-peer network configured to provide a peer-to-peer application, wherein the first entity comprises at least a further communications device connectable to the peer-to-peer network, wherein the other entity comprises at least one communications device connectable to the peer-to-peer network and wherein at least one of the communications devices is configured at least to cause generation of a supply medium transaction agreement about the physical exchange of a supply medium between the first entity and the further entity by means of the peer-to-peer application.
