Manufacturing Control and Monitoring System - concept and implementation

In the paper current results of a project devoted to develop a concept and perform an implementation of Intelligent Manufacturing System are presented. By now, hardware for a factory floor has been selected and software for different system levels has been designed and implemented. Industrial testbed was constructed and the system was installed and tested in a real factory. It was shown that modern embedded PC controllers facilitate the integration of human operators and manufacturing resources into Manufacturing Control and Monitoring System.
