Encapsulation and Integration for Networked Manufacturing Resources Based on Mobile Agents

In order to implement the integration and application of legacy hardware/software manufacturing resources in manufacturing enterprises, a scheme and a framework for the manufacturing resource encapsulation and integration are introduced. Under the control of unified Web browser interfaces, through starting different encapsulating templates, the re-configuration and encapsulation for legacy manufacturing resources can be implemented, the information interaction and acquirement can be realized, the collaborative work can be done, and finally the goal of integration and control for legacy manufacturing resources can be arrived at in networked manufacturing systems.
