Abstract

Many enterprises and factories have been using standard Web-based procedures as the centralized interface for remote control and manufacturing process data input, which is called "Web-based digital dashboard". With the Web interface, people need to fill in data manually and then submit entire data to a remote system to process control procedure. In this paper, we have used several creativity methods to develop a multi-agent system, namely EMTAN, which can collect all kinds of data from the on-line database, electronic files, and controller's interface. This system can also automatically retrieve all HTML fields and transfer data into the Web-based digital dashboard, and generate the results via using email or mobile instant messages. Our multi-agent system, in fact, is an integrated model to help process Web-based data precisely and can save lots of time on data key in.
