Manufacturing Remote Control Over a LAN Network

摘要

In 21 century, manufacturers are facing these challenges - smoothing the transition of products from engineering to manufacturing, managing dynamic product code and feature sets, and optimizing complex multi-step, multi-vendor production cycles [1]. The most data-intensive and dynamic part of any manufacturing organization is the factory floor. When manufacturing is distributed among different vendors, the factory floor becomes a virtual realm and gaining control becomes even more challenging. Leading manufacturers know that the first step to building a reliable global manufacturing network is to gain visibility and control on individual machine station on the plant floor. The solutions should be able to provide complete details of products and machines in process beginning in engineering, and to capture all information, both sensor-derived and manually collected. Manufacturing remote control provides a solution for implementing manufacturing networks on plant floor to realize remote communications among different machines and devices.
