Provided is an operation command generation device including: an execution order determination unit configured to determine, based on respective arrangement positions of a plurality of process symbols each representing a process for a process subject on a protocol chart including the plurality of process symbols, an execution order of the plurality of process symbols; and a process symbol conversion unit configured to respectively convert the plurality of process symbols into jobs for a process system including at least a robot so that processes represented by the plurality of process symbols are executed in the execution order determined by the execution order determination unit.

A user interface for designing, configuring and/or editing a control flow representing a control strategy associated with a semiconductor manufacturing process, the user interface including: a library of control elements having at least a control element representing a task of simulation and each control element being selectable by a user; a control flow editor configured to organize the control elements into a control flow representing the control strategy; and a communication interface for communicating the control flow to a calculation engine configured to evaluate the control flow.

Systems and methods to design part weld processes using media libraries are disclosed. An example system to generate weld instructions for display to a weld operator during a welding sequence, the system including: a processor; and a machine readable storage device comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: provide an interface to define a weld program comprising a sequence of weld instructions for display to a weld operator during a weld sequence; in response to an input specifying a location of an object in a media library, defining an element in the weld program based on an identifier of the object in the media library; and generating the weld program by including the identifier of the object in the media library in association with the element.
