卓越制造控制系统最重要的条件之一是能够执行预期功能，并在整个生产过程的生命周期中同时保持（经济高效）适用性。支持数据过程模型的传统编程语言是完全实现这一目标的限制因素。面向对象编程（OOP）语言涉及一种新的范例，它提供了优越的模块化、可重用性和可维护性。本文介绍了这项技术的概况。评估其对蜂窝和蜂窝控制器结构的影响，以及竞争性业务优势，以及随着该技术的成熟，未来的预期。

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALIFICATIONS OF A SUPERIOR MANUFACTURING CONTROL SYSTEM IS THE ABILITY TO PERFORM AN INTENDED FUNCTION AND MAINTAIN (COST EFFECTIVELY) THAT APPLICABILITY CONCURRENTLY THROUGHOUT A PRODUCTION PROCESS' LIFECYCLE. CONVENTIONAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES WHICH SUPPORT A DATA PROCEDURE MODEL IS A LIMITING FACTOR IN TOTALLY ACHIEVING THAT OBJECTIVE. OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (OOP) LANGUAGES INVOLVE A NEW PARADIGM WHICH PROVIDES SUPERIOR MODULARITY, REUSABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY. AN INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW OF THIS TECHNOLOGY IS EXPLAINED. AN ASSESSMENT ON ITS IMPACT ON THE STRUCTURE OF CELLS AND CELL CONTROLLERS IS PROVIDED ALONG WITH COMPETITIVE BUSINESS ADVANTAGES AND WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE AS THIS TECHNOLOGY MATURES.
