According to the problem that it's difficult for mould enterprises to manage and control the production process accurately by using the current manufacturing execution system, the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was introduced into the manufacturing execution system. In this paper, a RFID-based manufacturing execution system is proposed for tracing and managing the real-time manufacturing process of mould. The framework of RFID-based manufacturing execution system for mould enterprises was established, under this framework, the key technologies including RFID-based shop-floor model of mould enterprises, information fusion model for real-time monitoring, objective function of dynamic job shop scheduling were described respectively. Finally, through the research and application of the system, a novel mode was provided for manufacturing process management of mould enterprises.
