In a combination of diverse devices, system control with high real-time property is realized. A control device includes: a control indication acceptor receiving a control target indication to be a target of control with respect to plural controlled devices; and a control processing generator generating a control signal with respect to each of the plural controlled devices based on the control target indication, in which operations of the plural controlled devices are controlled so that the plural controlled devices cooperate to achieve the target, based on at least one of a communication delay time, a phase shift time, and an operation cycle time of the plural controlled devices.

Present disclosure relates to method and synchronization system for synchronizing plurality of events associated with one or more processes in assembly line for tracing entity. Initially, information related to plurality of events associated with one or more processes from one or more devices is received, where each of the plurality of events comprises respective first timestamp. Upon receiving, the first timestamp between each of the plurality of events is synchronized by performing first level and second level synchronization. The synchronization converts first timestamp into second timestamp with respect to common reference timestamp. Further, the synchronization system may identify one or more defects based on quality value assigned to entity. Thus, the present disclosure helps the synchronization system to efficiently trace entity when a defect is identified and replaces/repairs the entity.
