Abstract :
The Fraunhofer Institute for Information and Data Processing has developed a novel production monitoring and control system (PMC) for DaimlerChrysler Bremen for its C-type car which will begin production in 2007. Called the Provis.Agent, it is the first agent-based PMC system for distributed real-time production monitoring that allows integration with other shop floor related applications.
