Abstract :
The recent movement to customer-driven production has generated a need for flexible manufacturing systems that can respond directly to user needs by providing only the volume and type they require, rather than increasing the variety of products. This paper proposes an autonomous decentralized manufacturing system architecture and an information filtering technique for supporting online modification of product lines and free access to production information. It also describes the trends in its industrial de-facto standardization. The proposed architecture has been applied to many industrial production systems, and their effectiveness has been verified
