Method and system for wireless remote monitoring and control of a manufacturing execution system

摘要

A method of remotely monitoring and controlling a manufacturing facility through a manufacturing execution system (MES) uses wireless devices connected to a web server through a transcoding proxy. The wireless devices, such as portable digital assistants or cell phones, request information about the manufacturing process from the web server by requesting web pages containing the desired information. The web pages are modified by the transcoding proxy so that they may be correctly displayed on the screen of the wireless device. The MES can also be controlled by a wireless device. The wireless device passes control commands through the transcoding proxy to the web server, which sends them to the MES to control production in the manufacturing facility.
