Manufacturing Enterprise Integration Using Hierarchial Control And Distributed Database

Abstract

The advanced capabilities of computer systems and field sensory instruments have lead companies to consider the use of computers, smart sensors, and telecommunication networks. The application of a computerized system in a manufacturing and production environment integrated manufacturing environment includes data aquisition; supervisory controls, status monitoring, operation optimization and data management. A computer-authomated requires fast data sampling, high sensor capabilities, distributed control processing, reliable communication, easy-to-use software and operator interfaces. A computerized system should deliver the right information, to the right people, to the right equipment, at the right time. This system must use a distributed processing technique to achieve a comprehensive product and process quality monitoring, demand estimation and system monitoring and control while maintaining overall cost at minimum. This paper proposes a layout of a distributed computer control structure for a computer integrated enterprise. It will also propose the supporting database associated with each level of this control hierarchy. It will also lists a set of activities and tasks associated with design and implementation of such automated system. © 1993.
