Abstract

Requirements for product traceability in certain industrial sectors make Production Flow Control Systems (PFC) a desirable component in the operation of production enterprises. Such a system serves as a valuable tool for companies by preventing defective products from being sent to customers, enabling the automatic blocking of defective parts once the cause of the defect is identified. This article discusses a proposed PFC system toolset that meets fundamental industrial requirements in the field of discrete manufacturing of mechanical products. The system integrates key elements such as rework, disassembly, single non-controlled stations, as well as various essential and optional software applications and modules.
