Description
Summary:A CORBA based distributed object software system was developed for Sandia's Agile Manufacturing Testbed (SAMT). This information architecture supports the goals of agile manufacturing: rapid response to changing requirements; reduction in both time and cost of the product realization process; and integration within a heterogeneous, wide area networked enterprise. Features of the resulting software controlled manufacturing environment are: easy plug and play of manufacturing devices, support for both automated and manual operations, information flow both into and out of manufacturing devices, and a dynamic task sequencer.
