FIELD: information technology.SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to production module (110, 210, 310, 411, 412, 413, 421, 422, 423, 431, 432, 433) for performing a production function on product (500). Production module is configured and configured to communicate with second production module (110, 210, 310, 411, 412, 413, 421, 422, 423, 431, 432, 433), which is executed and configured to perform the second production function over product (500). Self-description information (130, 140, 160, 70, 230, 240, 260, 270, 330, 340, 360, 370) in respect of its properties is stored in memory device (120, 220, 320) of the production module. Second production module includes second self-description information (130, 140, 160, 170, 230, 240, 260, 270, 330, 340, 360, 370) regarding its properties. Production module is configured and configured to transfer the self-description information to the second production module and to receive the second self-description information from it. In addition, port information (150, 151
