Field programming usually occurs before the tag is installed on the object to be identified. This approach enables the introduction of data relevant to the specifics of the application into the tag at any time; however, the tag would typically have to be removed from its object. In some cases, change or duplication of all data in the tag is possible. In other cases, some portion is reserved for factory programming. This might include a unique tag serial number, for example. Field programming is usually associated with Write Once Read Many(WORM) and read/write(RW) devices. The data entered into a transponder may be by a combination of factory and field programming. 1, record 2, English, - field%20programming

One company involved in "factory of the future" programs is the Vought Aero Products Division(APD) of LTV which, in July 1984, brought into operation a computer-controlled Flexible Machining Cell(FMC) to machine parts needed for the aft and aft-intermediate fuselage sections of the B-1B... The system was to be capable of high machine utilisation with programming flexibility to cope with batch sizes down to one; unmanned operation; automated material handling; automated inspection of finished parts; and computer scheduling of the cell' s activities. 1, record 4, English, - flexible%20machining%20cell

La Vought Aero Products Division (APD) du groupe LTV est l'une des sociétés participant aux programmes portant sur ces "usines de l'avenir". En juillet 1984, elle a mis en service une "cellule d'usinage souple" (CUS) commandée par ordinateur pour la fabrication des pièces des tronçons arrière et intermédiaire arrière du fuselage du bombardier B-1B (...) Le système devait permettre à la fois une utilisation poussée des machines, une programmation souple autorisant des lots de production éventuellement réduits à l'unité, un fonctionnement sans surveillance, la manutention automatique des matériaux, l'inspection automatique des pièces finies et la commande par ordinateur de l'échelonnement des opérations dans la cellule d'usinage. 1, record 4, French, - cellule%20d%27usinage%20souple

La programmation sur le terrain se produit généralement avant que l'étiquette soit installée sur l'objet à identifier. Cette approche permet l'insertion de données pertinentes aux particularités de l'application dans l'étiquette et ce, à n'importe quel moment. Par contre, l'étiquette doit généralement être retirée de son objet. Dans certains cas, il est possible de changer ou de dupliquer toutes les données de l'étiquette. Dans d'autres cas, certaines parties sont réservées pour la programmation en usine. Ceci pourrait comprendre, par exemple, le numéro de série unique de l'étiquette. La programmation sur le terrain est généralement associée aux disques optiques non-réinscriptibles (WORM) et aux dispositifs de lecture/écriture. Les données entrées dans un transpondeur peuvent correspondre à un jumelage de programmation en usine et sur le terrain. 2, record 5, French, - programmation%20sur%20le%20terrain

The programming of [sequences of manipulative actions] has traditionally been implemented by using a "teach box" for first-and most second-generation robot systems. This method of on-line programming is very attractive as it is readily learned by factory personnel who are not trained software specialists. 2, record 8, English, - on%2Dline%20programming
