Abstract There is a clear trend in computer communications to apply fast and high bandwidth networking methods and elements. Their spread in the office environment is very promising and straight forward, but their direct application in manufacturing environment needs some prior investigation. How will it effect the management and. control tasks in manufacturing systems? Besides other effects, it will enable the widespread use of multimedia features, and the authors focus on that issue. After giving a bunch of application oriented discussion topics, an experimental pilot system is detailed, that should be oriented in the future to make some application experiments with manufacturing system.
