Abstract
We propose an infrastructure and a prototype system for a manufacturing information system. Such a system, by its nature, is distributed and must be able to store, index, manage, retrieve and present data of diverse types, including business data, inventory data, and manufacturing process data. Our approach is different from previous work in that we take into account all possible kinds of information, such as continuous data (stream oriented), production data (decision support), legacy data, and multimedia data (say, drawings, pictures, audio signals, voice annotations, and video streams). The key criterion here for the system is to support content-based information retrieval across all application areas.
The goal is to provide support for automated information transactions in the architecture that uses various standards including STEP (ISO10303) standard, the Internet, and CORBA. An experimental system, called Perspective,for retrieval of part and manufacturing process has been designed and implemented in a distributed environment. Among other capabilities, the system can retrieve a set of parts or manufacturing processes based on similarity to some desired criteria.
