Abstract: A two-dimensional code arrangement with at least one defined area. The defined area including basic symbols, and the basic symbols of the defined area being arranged on a surface. The basic symbols arranged in the defined area encode first code data and second code data, and the first code data comprise and/or describe position information.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining automatically a machine safety and/or a product quality of a flexible cyber-physical production system with a configuration adaptable during a production process including production steps executed by machines forming equipment of a physical factory of the cyber-physical production system to produce a product according to a product recipe, wherein the machine safety and/or product quality are calculated during runtime of the flexible cyber-physical production system by processing a meta-model of the flexible cyber-physical production system stored in a computer readable storage medium, is provided.

Abstract: A method for transmitting data from a first sub-system to a second sub-system includes the steps of providing a dataset by the first sub-system, the dataset having a data structure identifier and a data value; sending the dataset to the second sub-system; receiving the dataset by the second sub-system; checking whether complete assignment information regarding the data structure assigned to the data structure identifier is present in the second sub-system; recovering any missing assignment information from a communication broker in the event that the second sub-system does not contain complete assignment information; and determining the data structure on the basis of the data structure identifier and the assignment information. A corresponding system, a corresponding first sub-system, a corresponding second sub-system and a communication broker are also proposed.
