Abstract
Embodiments are directed to providing interfaces for software updating and code building. In one embodiment, a software code building interface is provided which includes a manufacturing and production process analyzer configured to divide the manufacturing and production process into multiple physical, discrete steps. The software code building interface includes other modules that identify dependencies between the discrete steps, generate reusable, global software code elements having data structures that are implemented to dynamically create interactive interfaces that present and allow interaction with the discrete steps, and access the generated global software code elements and the identified dependencies to generate interactive manufacturing and production process interfaces. These interfaces allow users to provide information relating to the discrete steps, ensuring that the manufacturing and production process is performed in an intended manner. Other interfaces provide for the dynamic updating of software code in a manufacturing environment.
