Abstract:
The extended enterprise is formed according to the philosophy of
dispersed networked manufacturing. Manufacturing execution
system (MES) can close the information gap which exists between
device control system and production information management
system. The functions and the web-based architecture of the MES
in the extended enterprise are introduced. Using the cooperating
system models of object-oriented and distributed agents and
CORBA, all objects keep to uniform interface standards and are
easily inserted to object request broker. The utilization of
distributed MES in extended enterprise can adapt fast change of
manufacturing environment and resource. It also can improve the
independent management capability of manufacturing cell and the
enterprise response capability to global economic competition.
