    <p>I have a project (will be written in c#) in which i need to manage and monitor a production line.</p> <p>The production line is consisted of several stations and a robotic arm. The robotic arm moves a product from one station to the other. Each station has a specific time limitations in which the product goes through a certain process (e.g. drying) and needs to be moved to the next station.</p> <p>There is a constant stream of products so that all station are used to full capacity (except for the beginning and the end of the entire operation of the machine).</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>I have a single robot with 6 stations around (!) it. The product is held by a rack that enters the machine in a constant rate of 10 minutes per rack. i attached an illustration of the machine.</p> <p>The implementation i thought about was:</p> <ol> <li><p>Predefine all the robot movement from one station to the other. </p></li> <li><p>Create a task list in which each task stands for robot movement of a product that is performed if needed. this is quite a large list.</p></li> <li><p>On each cycle check on the task list what needs to be done in the current time slice and execute if needed.</p></li> </ol> <p>This is a quite basic and simple description of the machine.</p> <p>Now to the question, i'm looking for a design pattern or general design ideas that fits such production-manufacturing lines, specifically ones with moving robot arms and time limitation constraints.</p> <p>im sure im not the first to write such a production line manager so i hope to use the wisdom of the community in this matter.</p> <p>Adiel.</p> <p>p.s. i hope the general information i provided is enough to describe the problem, if not i'll be happy to add information.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/p6151.png" alt="An illustration of the machine - the robot is the center of the chamber"></p>
