چکیده
Ù This work was supported by Sandia Corporation under Contract No. DE-AC04-94-AL85000 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Abstract A CORBA-based distributed object software system was developed for Sandia’s Agile Manufacturing Testbed (SAMT). This information architecture supports the goals of agile manufacturing: rapid response to changing requirements; reduction in both time and cost of the product realization process; and integration within a heterogeneous, wide-area networked enterprise. Features of the resulting software-controlled manufacturing environment are: easy plug-and-play of manufacturing devices, support for both automated and manual operations, information flow both into and out of manufacturing devices, and a dynamic task sequencer.

Borrowing the automation production and management system of modern manufacturing industry production line, a new industrialized PL-ISEE (product line based integrated software engineering environment) architecture was proposed by us in the reference [6]. This kind of new architecture model is a hiberarchy double development environment model with the product line core assets as the software co...
متن کاملUsing CORBA to integrate manufacturing cells to a virtual enterprise
It is critical in today’s enterprises that manufacturing facilities are not isolated from design, planning, and other business activities and that information flows easily and bidirectionally between these activities. It is also important and cost-effective that COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) software, databases, and corporate legacy codes are well integrated in the information architecture. F...
