Research on manufacturing execution system

The manufacturing execution system (MES), is now still constructed with relatively dedicated framework. Such lag in the development of MES has inevitably caused some problems. A salient one is the lack of adaptability to effectively cope with the diversity of manufacturing processes. This paper aims to provide some resolutions to this problem. After analyzing the adaptability requirements of A-MES in detail, some key techniques are researched including data integrated adapter, developing configurable factory model, reusable business component and data based script driven mechanism. Thereafter, a new kind of adaptable MES framework named A-MES is presented. A-MES is capable of accommodating changes in internal and external manufacturing system with little programming work.
