The study on smart sensor network based production management service design

Abstract

The small and medium-sized manufacturers, which produce a small amount of different items, have a problem in terms of cost and time that is difficult to introduce automated production process control system for manufacturing and management of new products. In addition, companies' ERP systems could not cope with real-time errors arisen from production processes dealing with actual logistics. And companies recently focus on introduction of Smart sensors for managing production processes, however, they have difficulty in optimizing deployment suitable to the corresponding company's process by prioritizing only the technological introduction. Accordingly, this paper analyzed the production process currently used for manufacturing, and designed and implemented a production process control system that could deploy optimized Smart sensors and connect with them based on the analysis. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
