A database server architecture for agile manufacturing

Agile manufacturing systems can benefit significantly from a database support. This paper describes AMDS, an agile manufacturing database system designed for capturing and manipulating the operational data of a manufacturing cell. AMDS is a continuous data-gathering real-time DBMS, and it can be logged either locally or remotely and used for off-line analysis as well. The temporal operational data obtained is used for performance and reliability analysis, high-level summary report generation, real-time monitoring and active interaction. This paper gives an overview of AMDS and its real-time features.
