TC 5.1. Manufacturing Plant Control

Welcome Message from the Chair

The TC 5.1 deals with all the applications of automation, information and communication technologies in order to control the manufacturing plant within the e-enterprise.

The TC is addressing the automation scientific challenges and issues raised by the IMS paradigm in order to apply MEMS, MECHATRONICS, MES, MAS, HMS and e-technologies to digitally control with more agility the entire manufacturing chain, from design through manufacturing, to maintenance and service, over the whole product and processes life cycle.
The main topics are:

• IMS Modeling and Experiments
• Production & Logistics over Manufacturing Networking
• Manufacturing Automation over Networks
• Dependable Manufacturing Systems Control
• Discrete Event Systems in Manufacturing
• e-Manufacturing Technologies and Facilities
