Abstract :
Targeting the remote monitoring and control of shop floors, this paper proposes a new framework called Wise-ShopFloor Web-based integrated sensor-driven e-Shop Floor that can be applied to distributed manufacturing environments. It utilizes the latest Java technologies (Java 3D and Java Servlet) as enabling technologies for system implementation. This web-based framework allows users to monitor and control a distant shop floor device using Java 3D models instead of cameras. The behavior of a 3D model is driven by sensor signals of its physical counterpart. The goal of this research work is to eliminate network traffic, while still providing end users with intuitive environments.
