Abstract

A method and a system for automatically recording an intervention in a production facility (1) controlled by a control program (14). The production facility (1) includes a number of facility components (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9a–9e). According to the method and the system, information about a status of the facility component(s) (3–5, 6–8, 9a–9e) and information on whether this status exists in accordance with the control program (14) is retrieved from the control program (14, 15) and is recorded if this status does not exist according to the control program.
