Abstract :
Generally, the information packets can be transferred in a complicated communication network correctly without any care. The idea may highlight one to realize the automated guiding of work-pieces in FMS shop. To follow various routing procedures of different types of work-piece (WP), a special structure of "head-code" attached with the interface of WP is designed that can be understood by machine-center (MC), automated guided vehicles (AGV) or other material handling system (MHS). Besides, a routing list that denotes the next expected machine for different types of WP is stored in head-code of WP or every machine to help the processed WP arriving new destination.
