Objective The aim of this project is to give Central and Eastern European universities the ability to help local industry - especially small and medium sized enterprises - introducing computer aids for shopfloor control. This will be achieved through joint development of an adaptable low-cost shopfloor control system. The requirements of this system are defined as: user-oriented structure, with man as focus de-centralized rather than hierarchical information concept step-by-step extendibility (adaptable to various degrees of automation) simple adaptability to changes in production installations uniform system platform based on standards defined by ESPRIT project 9115 (OSACA) open modular software system with the option of integrating user-specific functions After an analysis and design phase, the system will be realised in two stages. In the first, production status will be available in a transparent form and with the option of scheduling production orders. In the second stage, a direct numerical control component (DNC) will be added. European links: Software based on standards defined by ESPRIT project 9115 (OSACA). INFORMATION DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES The universities will use the results for training industry engineers at workshops, to support the transfer of know-how into Central and East European companies.
