The supervisor is connected to at least one hollow glassware production line
including a plurality of controlled moving members, and is defined by a line agent
unit generating a virtual image of the line, a database memorizing all the data
required for operation of the line, an interface, and an instruction analyzer.
The database is defined by individual memory areas separately memorizing data relative
to the structure of each line in a line table; data relative to production processes
to be performed in a process table; and specific elementary operation instructions
for the line members by means of a recipe table memorizing conditions relating
the memorized lines and production processes. The instruction analyzer processes
the line structure data and production process data, and generates specific instructions
on the basis of the entered data.
