Abstract
Due to enormous pressures from national and international marketplaces, Computer Integrated Manufacturing has become a tremendously important area of both research and development. However, the current state of the art is still characterized by islands of automation. We present an approach which is developed to bridge the gap between such islands of automation. We propose a CIM Manager which provides services for integrating heterogeneous CIM components. In this paper we focus on the object management services which provide a unified view of the data managed by different CIM components. Furthermore we discuss the process management services which assist in directing and coordinating CIM activities throughout the whole enterprise.
Zusammenfassung
Aufgrund des enormen Konkurrenzdrucks auf nationalen und internationalen Märkten ist Computer Integrated Manufacturing zu einem äußerst wichtigen Gebiet für Forschung und Entwicklung geworden. Dennoch ist der Stand der Technik immer noch durch Insellösungen gekennzeichnet. Wir präsentieren einen Ansatz, der darauf ausgerichtet ist, Automatisierungsinseln miteinander zu verbinden. Dies geschieht mit Hilfe eines CIM—Managers, der Dienstleistungen zur Integration heterogener CIM-Komponenten zur Verfügung stellt. Im vorliegenden Aufsatz konzentrieren wir uns auf die Objektverwaltung, die eine einheitliche Sicht auf die von den verschiedenen CIM-Komponenten verwalteten Daten bietet. Außerdem gehen wir auf die Prozeßverwaltung ein, mit deren Hilfe CIM-Aktivitäten im gesamten Unternehmen gesteuert und koordiniert werden.
