  • Patent number: 7925526
    Abstract: A production unit for which a schedule of tasks is to be accomplished is prepared and stored in a central management device. The unit includes individual electronic devices, control stations, and a network linking the individual electronic devices and the control stations to the central management device. Each individual electronic device includes a device to input the tasks accomplished and problems encountered and further includes a transmission device for information input. The central management device compares data received with the schedule of tasks, generates a warning signal when the comparison detects a gap or discrepancy between the data received and the schedule of tasks, and transmits the warning signal to the individual electronic devices and control stations. The individual electronic devices and the control stations include a device to display the warning signal.

  • Publication number: 20050228708
    Abstract: This system is aimed at a production unit for which a schedule of tasks to be accomplished is prepared and stored in a central management device (36). It includes individual electronic devices (12), control stations (22, 24) and a network (10) linking these individual devices (12) and control stations (22, 24) to the central management device (36). Each individual electronic device (12) includes means to input the tasks performed and the problems encountered and the transmission means for information input. The central management device (36) includes means of comparison between data received and the task schedule, means to generate a warning when the comparison means have detected a gap or discrepancy between data received and the schedule of tasks and the transmission means of the warning to the individual electronic devices (12, 14) and control stations (22, 24). The individual electronic devices (12) and the control stations (22, 24) include means to display the warning signals.

  • Patent number: 5490080
    Abstract: Method and device for decorating a tridimensional object. The method consists of representing a three-dimensional model of the decorated object by a plotting of the decoration. It then consists of localizing on the object from the 3D model at least several characteristic points of said plotting so as to position, for example, adhesive decoration delimitation strips or stencils or precut decorative elements, etc. The invention is more particularly applicable to the decoration of an aircraft by logotypes, letters or distinctive signs on the outer surface of this aircraft.
