Abstract
A major obstacle for the introduction of industrial robots in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is formed by the complexity of the robot systems, and the required expertise and qualified personnel. These high requirements for the companies and their personnel could be reduced, if SMEs that dispose over the required skill could provide them to other SMEs as Internet services. This paper describes working procedures, methods and tools for creating such Internet-based SME-service networks.
