Development of a Smart Manufacturing Execution System Architecture for SMEs: A Czech Case Study

This study investigates the application of a smart manufacturing execution system (SMES) based on current controlling structure in medium-sized company Czech Republic. Based existing approaches architecture SMESs, this paper develops sample grounded small and enterprises (SMEs). While only few papers to given topic exist, approach makes use operative production data uses standardisation module provide standardised data. The was validated with case SME. conducted two different entities one suggesting differences due nature production. research showed that simple tasks intelligent welding equipment allow for working SMES architecture, while complex assembly works high extent human labour, number components still remain an obstacle. contributes gathering more understanding architectures SMEs by making module.
