Abstract: A computer-implemented method provides a job performance plan for a plurality of jobs to be performed at geographical locations. The computer receives job data that represent job requirements for specified locations and processes the job data with the data-structure to provide an initial job performance plan. The computer receives updated job data and identifies a sub-set of the data structure. The computer processes the updated job data with the sub-set to provide an updated job performance plan, wherein some of the routes are re-assigned to specified job performers. The sub-set is selected under consideration of location clusters. Step repetitions with different clusters are provided to increase accuracy.

Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods are directed to automated performance of a plant process in a control system included in a production management system. The control system including a processor that is configured with integration model code for executing an integration model. The processor is configured to integrate various software systems by establishing a connection to an enterprise resource planning system and exchange information between the plant process and a business process such that production data are received from the processes substantially in real time and an updated status of a production order is received continuously. The integration model includes placeholders associated with variables for at least one of events, devices and plants, placeholders associated with functions to be executed, functionalities which link the variables and call up the functions, mappings of parameters between the software systems to be linked, and requests for loading information from one software system to another.

Abstract: A system for automatic allocation of mobile resources to tasks includes at least one database which stores for each mobile resource at least one corresponding skill and equipment as well as street-level data defining roads between a current location of the mobile resources and the distant locations of the tasks, and dynamic data which have a potential impact on performance of the tasks. A first data processing unit allocates the mobile resources to the tasks by allocating the skills to the tasks and the equipment, and generates for at least one of the mobile resources an individual schedule including a street-by-street route along the roads to the respectively allocated tasks. A second data processing unit continuously pre-processes the dynamic data to determine which of the street-level data, the mobile resources and the tasks are affected by the dynamic data and to what extent, and to amend the affected data accordingly.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for correcting programming and optimizing treatment and/or subsequent treatment processes in technical installations, such as in the paper industry. The method and system carry an optimization suitable for treatment processes and for corresponding subsequent treatment processes according to a production plan defined by processing qualitative data and/or information related to the quality of at least one starting product of an advanced production stage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for correcting programming and optimising treatment and/or subsequent treatment processes in technical installations, in particular in the paper industry, wherein the system comprises means for carrying an optimisation suitable for treatment processes and for corresponding subsequent treatment processes according to a production plan (18) defined by processing qualitative data (13) and/or information related to the quality of at least one starting product of an advanced production stage.
