Abstract :
In different areas of manufacturing there are growing needs for intelligent mobile vehicles transporting material and parts inside the factories. End users have limited capabilities and resources to monitor and maintain the vehicles or make any changes in their control systems. An Internet based man-machine interface for remotely controlling and operating an intelligent vehicle is described in this paper. The interface has been tested and its useability at an electronics manufacturing line is shown
