Production Entities

The Iotellect Monitoring MES Core module defines a structured hierarchy of production entities fully aligned with the ISA-95 standard.
This hierarchy forms the foundation for modeling both the physical and logical structure of an enterprise.

Iotellect Monitoring MES Core includes several models representing the following hierarchical levels:

• Enterprise (users.%.models.enterprise)

  • Site (users.%.models.site)

    • Area (users.%.models.area) – production area or workshop

      • Cell / Line (users.%.models.cell)

        • Unit (users.%.models.unit)

          • Module (users.%.models.module)

Each entity defines its level within the hierarchy and maintains structural links to related entities above and below it.

Every production entity includes a set of predefined Base Properties (baseProperties) with the following fields:

The Cell / Line, Unit, and Module models each include a dedicated type variable (cell, unit, or module).
Each variable contains a single field — Type — which defines the subtype of the production entity.

By default:

• Cell instances use the Default Cell Type.

• Unit instances use the Default Unit Type.

• Module instances use the Default Module Type.

Each of these subtype models inherits from its corresponding Base Type (Base Cell Type, Base Unit Type, Base Module Type). They attach to entities where the subtype is specified and act as templates for extending entity-specific parameters.

Base models serve as templates for custom model creation, enabling users to define additional characteristics for similar production objects.
