The research project Analytic Manufacturing (ANAMA) focuses on the better integration of the tactical and operational planning level, which is an important step to the final target of a decentralized production control. Technically, for the implementation of ANAMA a sophisticated data layer is necessary which guarantees the interoperability of different data sources. Based on this new data source the two fields of research, i.e. visual analytics and data sonification, are used to improve the collaboration of the tactical and operational planning level. The merge of the two research fields establishes the innovative methodology “DataViSon”.
