Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a technical installation, a system for operating a technical installation and a technical installation which comprises a system according to the invention.
- the technical system is in particular an industrial application, for example a production plant.
- a generic technical system includes, for example, several mobile transport systems, which are autonomous vehicles.

- a method according to the invention for operating a technical installation comprises the following steps. First, a virtual object of an infrastructure unit is generated in a planning system for planning the technical installation. The virtual object of the infrastructure unit is then transferred to a control system for controlling the technical installation. The virtual object has a plurality of attributes which describe properties of the infrastructure unit. Furthermore, an infrastructure unit, to which the virtual object is assigned, is arranged in the technical installation. Thereafter, in particular during the operation of the technical system, at least one property of the infrastructure unit arranged in the technical system is transferred to the control system. The at least one property of the infrastructure unit received from the control system is then assigned as at least one attribute to the virtual object.
- the method according to the invention has the effect that current information is always available in the control system for controlling the technical installation.
- the control system always receives current information about the properties of the infrastructure unit.
- the properties of the infrastructure unit obtained are assigned to the assigned virtual object as attributes.
- the attributes of the virtual object that is assigned to the infrastructure unit are therefore always up-to-date. This enables a simple analysis and optimization of a material flow within the technical system.
- the virtual object of the infrastructure unit is transferred from the control system to the planning system for planning the technical installation.
- planning of a change to the technical system is then carried out in the planning system.
- a manual entry of changed attributes of the virtual object is not necessary.
- the technical system is therefore very flexible for necessary changes. In particular, the effort involved in planning and implementing changes to the structure of the technical system is reduced.
- the virtual object of the infrastructure unit is transferred from the control system to a simulation system for simulating the technical installation.
- a simulation of the technical system is carried out in the simulation system. This means that test runs of intended changes for optimizing the technical system can be carried out in the form of a simulation. Changes to the technical system are preferably only carried out if the material flow can be optimized as a result.
- the virtual object of the infrastructure unit is transferred from the control system to a visualization system for visualizing the technical installation.
- the technical installation is visualized in the visualization system. Monitoring of the technical system during operation is possible in a simplified manner by means of the visualization.
- the virtual object has at least one attribute which indicates a location of the infrastructure unit in the technical installation describes.
- the location is a property of the infrastructure unit.
- the said attribute is assigned to the virtual object. If the infrastructure unit is then arranged at a different location within the technical installation, the said property of the infrastructure unit initially differs from the associated attribute of the virtual object in the control system. After the correct location of the infrastructure unit has been transferred to the control system and the correct location of the infrastructure unit has been assigned as an attribute to the virtual object, the virtual object in the control system correctly describes the infrastructure unit in the technical installation again.
- the virtual object has at least one attribute which describes at least one of the following properties of the infrastructure unit in the technical system:
- the said attribute is assigned to the virtual object. It is conceivable that at least one corresponding property of the infrastructure unit in the technical installation deviates from the associated attribute of the virtual object in the control system. After the said property of the infrastructure unit has been transferred to the control system and the said property of the infrastructure unit has been assigned as an attribute to the virtual object, the virtual object in the control system correctly describes the infrastructure unit in the technical installation again.
- a system according to the invention for operating a technical system with the method according to the invention comprises a planning system for planning the technical system, in which a virtual object of an infrastructure unit can be generated, and a control system for controlling the technical system, to which the virtual object of the infrastructure unit can be transferred.

- the system according to the invention allows current information to be always available in the control system for controlling the technical installation.
- the control system always receives current information about the properties of the infrastructure unit. If the properties of the infrastructure unit obtained are assigned as attributes to the assigned virtual object in the control system, the attributes of the virtual object assigned to the infrastructure unit are also always up-to-date. This enables a simple analysis and optimization of a material flow within the technical system.
- the virtual object of the infrastructure unit can be transferred from the control system to the planning system for planning the technical installation.
