System and method for generating a factory layout for optimizing media content production

Abstract

A system and method are provided for generating a factory layout to dynamically optimize a media content production in a real-time environment. The system includes a media production optimizer with a widget controller that provides widgets that represent work packages as micro-services that perform functions of the media content production, respectively. A user interface controller receive inputs from a user interface to dynamically update the factory layout for the media content production. The media production optimizer then recompiles underlying code to update a model of the factory layout in response to the inputs from the operator of the system, and also migrates the updated factory layout to a cloud platform that includes a plurality of media production components including the plurality of micro-services for deployment thereon.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A system for generating a factory layout to dynamically optimize a media content production in a real-time environment, the system comprising:
 a media production optimizer that includes a widget controller configured to provide a plurality of widgets that represent work packages as a plurality of a micro-services that each perform an atomic function of the media content production, respectively;   a database configured to store the plurality of widgets;   a user interface controller configured to receive inputs from an operator of a user interface of the system to dynamically update the factory layout for the media content production, wherein the received inputs include respective position of the plurality of widgets and moving connection lines between at least a portion of the plurality of widgets displayed on the user interface to represent a data flow of media essence for the media content production;   a network and configuration analyzer configured to receive real-time performance characteristics relating to operations of the plurality of micro-services;   wherein the user interface provides information buttons for each of the plurality of widgets included in the factory layout that identify the real-time performance characteristics of the plurality of micro-services, respectively;   wherein the media production optimizer is configured to recompile underlying code to update a model of the factory layout in response to the inputs from the operator of the system;   wherein the media production optimizer is configured to render infrastructure as code (“IAC”) and configuration as code (“CAC”);   wherein the media production optimizer is configured to migrate, using the IAC and CAC, the updated factory layout to a cloud platform that includes a plurality of media production components including the plurality of micro-services for deployment thereon for performing the media content production.
