The necessary information is fetched from the database and transferred to the machines.
How the relevant order is executed depends on the type of cell…
… manual creation of a batch with BatchBuilder, or
… automatic execution with CellManager.
A batch is a complete machining operation, containing several manufacturing orders with their magazine positions. This type of magazine loading can be regarded as static, since machining of the entire batch must be completed before changes can be made in the magazine.
With CellManager, each individual job is started according to a priority list. Here, you can change priorities and magazine content while the machine is working.
