Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for assigning mobile locating units to digital processing plans for industrial processing of workpiece groups each including at least one workpiece are provided. In one aspect, a method includes: maintaining one or more processing plans including order information for industrial processing of one or more workpiece groups each associated with a corresponding processing plan, the one or more workpiece groups being separated according to a separation plan with a machine tool, matching position data of a mobile locating unit acquired with an indoor location system with position data of the one or more workpiece groups or workpieces derived from the separation plan, assigning the mobile locating unit to a workpiece group or a workpiece based on a result of the matching, and assigning the mobile locating unit to a processing plan associated with the workpiece group or the workpiece assigned to the mobile locating unit.
