Wireless mesh network in integrated web base monitoring systems for production line automation

Abstract

Industrial automation plays an important role in the manufacturing plant. In this paper a system is being proposed that integrate real time Managerial Control and Data Acquisition System (MCDAS) with 2.45GHz active RFID (radio frequency identification) adopts through wireless mesh network, the ZigBee technology to render the automation system more reliable. MCDAS aims to improve managerial skills by enhancing awareness of emerging technology and related concepts to improve the industrial manager's aspects for more effective monitoring, better communications and corporate integration. In this paper general structure of the technology used and process framework, the web-based monitoring system for industrial automation in selected company are presented in detail. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
