Disclosed herein are embodiments of a production system. The production system includes at least one production unit configured to produce at least one first product. The production unit has at least one processing tool configured to process at least one starting material supplyable to the production unit in order to produce the first product. The production unit also has at least one peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least one peer-to-peer application of at least one peer-to-peer network. The peer-to-peer application is configured to cause transmitting of at least one first control data set to the production unit, and the processing tool is controllable in accordance with the received first control data set.
