Effective modular assembly line control system

In this paper, a new design method for Assembly Line Control System(ALCS) is presented. This system consists of five independent modules having their own specific functions such as production management, facility management material management, quality management, and remote control. To implement the ALCS, we propose design of the common data management module(CDMM). This module has the roles of integrating the above five modules and of communicating the common data between them. Using this method, we realize an information management method in the view of CIM. In addition, we standardize the inter-communication of common data between machines having different interface protocols.
