| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 工業工程與管理系所 === 93 === A homunculus-oriented framework consisting of supervisor, monitor, animator, data server, virtual manufacturing system, and simulator are proposed to solve the remote manufacturing system control problem through a java-based mobile phone. Traditionally five tasks are involved to implement software for supervising and monitoring a manufacturing system. At the supervising phase, the four tasks are how to specify the software requirements, how to validate the software design, how to code concurrent programs, and how to test the interactive software behaviors for controlling the normal manufacturing activities. At the monitoring phase, the main task is how to design the software for detecting an emerging abnormal event immediately. In the thesis, a Java-based mobile phone is used to supervise and monitor a remote manufacturing system. From this viewpoint, these five tasks have to be progressed with additional wireless considerations. They also require extra software efforts such as J2ME programming for man-phone interface design, wireless communications, J2SE programming within Programming Logic Controller (PLC), manufacturing system simulation, etc. As a research result, six software modules named supervisor, monitor, animator, data server, virtual manufacturing system, and simulator are respectively proposed, designed, and implemented to solve the remote control problems above. The successful integration of the given mobile phone and the underlying manufacturing system shows the feasibility of this six- homunculus framework approach.
