Claim 15:
16. A manufacturing system for manufacturing workpieces, the manufacturing system comprising:
a machine tool control system in which workpiece image data associated with each of the workpieces to be manufactured are stored as part of a machine-readable processing plan, wherein, for each respective workpiece, the workpiece image data include a workpiece-illustration based on planning data of the workpieces;
a flatbed machine tool configured to manufacture the workpieces from a plate-shaped starting material according to the machine-readable processing plan;
a conveyor system configured to transport the workpieces as cut material to a sorting point for sorting the workpieces, the cut material being conveyed in a plate-like arrangement by the conveyor system; and
a display unit with a processor configured to receive data to be output on a monitor of the display unit,
wherein the monitor is arranged so as to be visible from the sorting point,
wherein the processor is configured to receive workpiece image data provided by the machine tool control system for the workpieces transported to the sorting point,
wherein the monitor is controllable such that the workpiece image data are displayed on the monitor in a sequence and in an arrangement such that the sequence and the arrangement of the workpiece image data correspond to a sequence and an arrangement of the workpieces transported by the conveyor system to the sorting point; and
wherein the processor is configured to determine the workpieces positioned for sorting at the sorting point, taking into account a cutting plan stored in the processing plan and a feed value of a conveyor belt of the conveyor system.
