INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS IN A MANUFACTURING EXECUTION SYSTEM WITH PREMIER INTEGRATION
First Claim
1. A system for controlling enablement of operational features based on device selection, comprising:
- a verification component, in a first device having a first set of operational features and a second set of operational features, configured to determine whether a second device communicatively coupled to the first system device supports a data type compatible with the second set of operational features; and
an enable component configured to;
in response to a determination by the verification component that the second device supports the data type, enable operation of the first device according to the first set of features and preventing operation of the first device according to the second set of operational features, andin response to a determination by the verification component that the second device does not support the data type, enable operation of the first device according to the first set of operational features and the second set of operational features.

Abstract
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is provided that leverages industry-specific workflows to process business requests. The MES system can maintain activity sets representing industry-specific workflows that can be selected and executed in order to satisfy business-driven goals. The activity sets can comprise both business-level and control-level operations, and can be configured using an intuitive graphical interface that mitigates the need for low-level programming by the end user. Some features of the MES system are enabled or disabled based on data type compatibility with devices in communication with the MES system.

10. A method for selectively enabling features of a device, comprising:
-
determining, by a first device including a processor, whether a second device configured to exchange data with the first device recognizes a data type supported by the first device; enabling a set of operational features of the first device in response to determining that the second device recognizes the data type; and disabling the set of operational features of the first device in response to determining that the second device does not recognize the data type. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable components that, in response to execution, cause a computer system including a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving, at a first device, information indicating that a second device communicatively coupled to the first device supports a data type compatible with a set of features supported by the first device; enabling the set of features in the first device in response to the information indicating that the second device supports the data type. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
