Abstract

Typical challenges that manufacturing enterprises are facing now are compounded by lack of timely, accurate, and consistent information of manufacturing resources of shop floor. This paper presents a real-time Manufacturing Resources Tracking and Tracing Framework (MRTTF) based on Auto-ID devices such as RFID. Then, a configuration solution of equipping traditional manufacturing resources with Auto-ID devices is described. And the real-time information tracking flow of attached manufacturing resources (Men, Machines and Materials) is also illustrated. The presented framework and solution will provide real-time information of manufacturing resources for production mangers or supervisors to make accurate and optimal decisions.
