| Abstract: | Achieving manufacturing efficiency requires that many groups that comprise a manufacturing enterprise, such as design, planning, production, distribution, field service, accounting, sales and marketing, cooperate to achieve their common goal. The concept of intelligent networking (IN) is introduced as the element to facilitate the integration of distributed heterogeneous functions of a manufacturing enterprise. The integration is supported by having the network first play a more active role in accessing and communicating information, and then provide the appropriate protocols for distribution, coordination and negotiation of tasks and outcomes. The IN is divided into six layers: network; data; information; organization; coordination; and market. Each of these provides a portion of the elements, functions and protocols to allow the integration of a manufacturing enterprise. The first three layers of this architecture are presented. These layers mainly support the management of a distributed knowledge base. |
