Orders and tickets

An order contains basic data (general information as ID, type, name, state, marker, if it was generated externally or by the control station) and further properties that can be grouped like this:

• Planning data (among others duration, deadline)
• Response data of the machine (used pattern, number of run-throughs)
• Operator data (order auxiliary data, setup information, quality metrics)
• Knitting data
• Maintenance data
• Update data

In the STOLL PPS, the orders are assigned to machine with the help of the tickets. Depending on the planning, zero, one or more tickets can be assigned to an order.

An order without a ticket is an unscheduled order, which is not yet assigned to any machine. An order with a ticket is assigned to a machine and is or will be produced on the machine. If an order is produced on several machines, it is distributed. The STOLL PPS generates a separate Ticket for each partial order.
