Production Plan

As a BaSyx AAS Web UI user
I want to visualize Production Plan Submodels with their steps, actions, and statuses
so that I can monitor the execution progress of a production order at a glance.

Semantic ID

This plugin is activated when a Submodel has the following semantic ID:

• https://smartfactory.de/semantics/submodel/ProductionPlan#1/0

Feature Overview

The Production Plan plugin provides a structured visualization of production plans defined by the SmartFactory Kaiserslautern (SFKL) Submodel template. It renders the hierarchical structure of a production order — broken down into steps and their associated actions — and displays the current execution status at every level.

The plugin gives operators and engineers a clear overview of which steps and actions have been completed, are in progress, or are still pending, as well as whether the overall plan has finished.

Production Plan Plugin showing steps, actions, and their statuses

Key Features

• Plan status indicator: Shows the overall IsFinished status of the entire production plan

• Step-by-step breakdown: Lists all production steps with their title, station, enterprise, and workcentre assignment

• Step status: Displays the current status of each step (e.g. open, executing, done)

• Action listing: Expands each step to show its actions with their individual title and status

• Machine assignment: Shows the MachineName for each action where available

Usage

1. Navigate to a Submodel with the Production Plan semantic ID in the AAS Treeview

2. Open the Visualization tab

3. The plugin displays the overall plan completion status at the top

4. Each production step is shown with its title and current status

5. Expand a step to inspect its individual actions and their statuses

Submodel Structure

The plugin expects the following structure, based on the SFKL Production Plan Submodel template:

Top-level Elements

idShort	Type	Description
IsFinished	Property (xs:boolean)	Overall completion flag for the production plan
Step00, Step01, …	SubmodelElementCollection	One or more production steps

Step Structure

Each step collection contains:

idShort	Type	Description
StepTitle	Property (xs:string)	Human-readable name of the step
Status	Property (xs:string)	Execution status of the step
Station	Property (xs:string)	Target station for the step
Enterprise	Property (xs:string)	Enterprise responsible for the step
Workcentre	Property (xs:string)	Workcentre assigned to the step
Actions	SubmodelElementCollection	Collection of actions within the step
Scheduling	SubmodelElementCollection	Optional scheduling information
InitialState	SubmodelElementCollection	Optional initial state definition
FinalState	SubmodelElementCollection	Optional final state definition

Scheduling Fields (optional)

idShort	Type	Description
StartDateTime	Property (xs:string)	Planned start date and time
EndDateTime	Property (xs:string)	Planned end date and time
SetupTime	Property (xs:string)	Required setup time
CycleTime	Property (xs:string)	Cycle time for the step

Action Structure

Each action inside the Actions collection contains:

idShort	Type	Description
ActionTitle	Property (xs:string)	Human-readable name of the action
Status	Property (xs:string)	Execution status of the action
MachineName	Property (xs:string)	Optional machine assigned to the action
InputParameters	SubmodelElementCollection	Optional input parameters
FinalResultData	SubmodelElementCollection	Optional result data after execution
Preconditions	SubmodelElementCollection	Optional preconditions
Effects	SubmodelElementCollection	Optional effects
SkillReference	ReferenceElement	Optional reference to the executing skill

Status Values

The Status property on both steps and actions uses string values. Typical values defined by the SFKL template are:

• open – not yet started

• executing – currently being executed

• done – successfully completed

• error – execution failed
