Abstract :
Today, the information flow within flexible production networks of small and medium enterprises for the production of hybrid micro systems is characterized by a lack of coordination and concepts as well a high portion of manual procedures. A new concept for an information system uses RFID-tags as data carriers, fixed at the load carriers, as a performance driver for these kinds of networks. As a basis for the development of a suitable information system we will present an appropriate data storage concept and an adapted modeling concept that is adjusted to the coupling of the entire information and the material flow.
