Configuration, simulation and animation of manufacturing systems via the Internet

In the light of growing demand for individualized products, configuration systems are becoming increasingly important. Most interesting are configurators that can be accessed over the Internet. They can be used by sales representatives and customers independent of location and time. In this paper, a new electronic service for configuration, simulation and animation of manufacturing systems is considered. It allows to present, test and optimize manufacturing systems via the Internet.
