Remote factory management for manufacturing-support (2nd report) : FDML(Field Data Markup Language):Format for exchanging manufacturing related information

Abstract

In order to introduce network-based production system into manufacturing industries, we propose FDML(Field Data Markup Language) as a data format for circulating manufacture information, and develop FDC(Factory Data Center) which is consist of Information Sharing Platform Server and FDAU(Field Data Acquisition Unit). In this report, we explain basic functions of the Information Sharing Platform with experimental manufacturing environment.
