Integrated Production Management System (IPMS)
In extended automobile industry, real-time manufacturing information tracking plays an important role and aims to provide the right information to the right person at the right time in the right format to achieve optimal production management among the involved enterprises. This paper proposes a RFID-enabled real-time manufacturing information tracking infrastructure to address the real-time manufacturing data capturing through the process of Barcode printing and barcode scanning of the vehicle serial number. Following the proposed infrastructure, the traditional manufacturing resources such as employees, machines and materials are equipped with RFID devices to build the real-time data capturing environment.
