An embodiment parallel cell based mobility production system includes a front serial production line which is composed of one or more cells arranged in series and through which vehicles of various types sequentially pass to be processed, a parallel production line provided with a plurality of cells arranged in a matrix form, and a rear serial production line in which the vehicles of various types passed through the parallel production line are sequentially fed.

An embodiment method for operating by a controller a cell based mobility production system which produces various kinds of mobilities with a plurality of cells connected in series or in parallel includes arranging a necessary task for each cell in consideration of a mobility production target and a deviation of utilization rate between the cells, setting a sequence of the cells through which a vehicle body matched for a type of mobility passes in consideration of the task arranged for each cell, and determining a feeding sequence of each type of vehicle body in consideration of the sequence of the cells through which each type of vehicle body passes.

Methods and systems are provided for mass producing different products in an automated production station having a plurality of part-processing devices. An example method includes identifying a workpiece received in the production station; selecting control parameters associated with the identified workpiece; electronically synchronizing the part-processing devices based on the selected control parameters to perform coordinated operations on the workpiece for producing one of the different products; and automatically repeating the identifying, selecting, and synchronizing steps for different workpieces received in the production station to produce a plurality of different products in a continuous mass production process.

A production machine (1) that has at least two different standby states is operated. Incoming and outgoing flows (ES, AS), comprising energy flows (EN) and material flows (ST), occur in each standby state, depending on the state. Each standby state has an associated base rating (BB1, BB2) that has a dependency on the period of time that elapses when changing from the respective standby state to the productive state of the machine (1). The base rating (BB1, BB2) is higher, the shorter said period of time is.
