Abstract :
Starting from the “Industry 4.0” concept, this work aims to develop an event-condition-action (ECA) based structure to control intelligent manufacturing systems (IMS). RFID technology is used as a main component to gather data from shop floor. This data is used to control product routing among workstations and to control systems agents (robot´s arms for example). The whole system has OPC based architecture.
