prodsys Express API

This module contains the prodsys.express API with classes and functions to easily specify all parameters of a production system. This API is completely compatible with prodsys.models and every object can be converted to a data object from prodsys.models using the to_model method.

The express API is more convenient to use than the prodsys.models API because the express API nests the objects in a tree structure, which makes it easier to work with when instantiating production system programatically.

However, the express API does not support all features of the prodsys.models API and saved data is more complicated to review because of the nesting.

Recommended is to use the API for programmatically specifying a production system but saving the data in the prodsys.models format with the ProductionSystemAdapter.

The following modules are available:

  • prodsys.express.core: Contains the abstract base class for express objects.
  • prodsys.express.product: Contains classes to specify products.
  • prodsys.express.process: Contains classes to specify processes.
  • prodsys.express.production_system: Contains classes to specify a production system.
  • prodsys.express.resources: Contains classes to specify resources.
  • prodsys.express.sink: Contains classes to specify sinks.
  • prodsys.express.source: Contains classes to specify sources.
  • prodsys.express.state: Contains classes to specify states.
  • prodsys.express.time_model: Contains classes to specify time models.
