Abstract

In order to quickly establish a data gathering system in a flexible manufacturing environment, this paper presents a ZigBee-based wireless sensor network combined with a data processing system. The proposed system includes a system simulator, instrument definition module and network monitor module. System functions include network parameter setting, real-time system status sensing and data collecting, intelligent event monitoring and warning, and ad hoc response mechanisms. The proposed system enables users to quickly plug-and-play any digital instrument in their production systems and automatically capturing production data. Production controller can adopt these data to make decisions in real-time.
