A method and a device for controlling a number of robots to emergency stop are provided. The method includes arranging multiple position points in a site where robots work and position identifiers corresponding to the position points, and providing corresponding recognizers at bottoms of the robots; when fault signals reported by the robots are detected, determining, according to the fault signals, whether all the robots in the site need to be controlled to emergency stop, wherein if yes, according to current positions and moving speeds of the robots, position points in the site are allocated to the robots as respective emergency stop positions, the robots are controlled to move to the corresponding emergency stop positions, and thereafter the robots are controlled to stop movement. The device comprises a configuration module, a determination module, an allocation module and a control module.

A production system and method may comprise a first production processing machine capable of processing a workpiece and a second production processing machine capable of processing the workpiece. The production system and method may also comprise a workpiece transfer device, the workpiece transfer device moving the workpiece from the first production processing machine to the second production processing machine, an inspection device identifying whether the workpiece meets at least one specification of the workpiece, and a computing device in communication with the inspection device notifying a user whether the workpiece is compliant with the at least one specification where the computing device is operative communication with either or both of the first production processing machine and the second production processing machine whereby the computing device alters operation of either or both of the first and second production processing machines.
