Manufacturing Automation Protocol; State-of-the-Art Study. Volume 1. Study Report

摘要

The report explores the history, status, and alternative methods for meeting user integration needs to create efficient manufacturing systems. To simplify the discussion of plant-floor connectivity issues, the report uses four conceptual models - a management hierarchy model, a cellular/non-cellular model, a site size model, and a business culture model - to characterize the kinds of connectivity required by various manufacturers.
