Flexible and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Targeting the remote monitoring and control of shop floors, this paper proposes a new framework called Wise-ShopFloor (W¯ebbasedi¯ntegrateds¯ensor-drivene-ShopFloor¯) that can be applied to distributed manufacturing environments. It utilizes the latest Java technologies (Java 3D and Java Servlet) for system implementation. This Web-based framework allows users to monitor and control a distant shop floor device with visual helps enabled by Java 3D models instead of camera images. The behavior of a 3D model is driven by sensor signals of its physical counterpart. A prototype system is developed to demonstrate its application on shop floor monitoring and control.
