Abstract:
Shop Floor operations can be optimized by scheduling applications that not only create an initial schedule but also allow feedback from data collection systems to enable re-scheduling. Interfaces required to integrate the various commercial applications within such a reactive system are being developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This report describes how standards-based, distributed object technology has been used to implement some of those interfaces.
