Under the national trend of manufacturing information and integration, cold-rolled sheet plants (CRSP) have begun to transform the manufacturing information in order to meet the fierce market competition. The upper information management (ERP) has already been basically realized in current market. However, the lower automation system and the upper information management system are not well integrated, causing a series of problems, such as basic data delay in the production line, being difficult to keep unanimous with the upper data and so on. To solve the above problems, efforts are paid on the combination of the manufacturing information system requirements and the research of MES system architecture, a set of MES system is established and the whole system architecture and function modules are designed in detail. Through the simulation of this system, it finds that the logistics and information flow can keep unanimous and the production efficiency will be greatly improved, which will create greater economic benefits.

In the last years, there have been several attempts to deploy Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to automate the operation of warehouse environments. The implementation of AGVs has numerous advantages over conventional warehouse automation systems in terms of cost and scalability. In this work, we present the development of a test-bed platform for the utilization of an AGV collective to a warehouse automation system. The system architecture has plug-and-play algorithmic design which makes it extremely modular. In this system, small-scale robotic forklifts are used to transport an arbitrary number of circular pallets to predefined locations. The forklift robots are able to move in the arena without colliding each other due to the implementation of a centralized deconfliction algorithm. A task allocation algorithm prevents the forklift drives from being trapped by a fence of pallets. The performance of the proposed system is validated by both simulation and experimental results.

The strategy of Metso Corporation and its business units is healthy, profitable growth achieved organically, by acquisitions and by new developments. This strategy means that Metso Automation system architecture will be multiple platforms, multiple sites and multiple applications exchanging information in the global business process. Metso Automation system development is globally coordinated and continues, based on this modular network-centric system structure. Each operative function such as sales (and sales office), manufacturing, product engineering have its own system application. These systems are loosely coupled together with agreed, standardised communication messages like order, invoice and order status. These two company integration cases show that the integration of modular systems can be done in a reasonable timeframe and with limited system technical work, and the main business goal, better service to the customer, can be reached.

Through the construction of substation monitoring system based on Bluetooth, the separate monitoring systems of environment is integrated with the former comprehensive automation system into a unique system. It's a new step of substation automation. The system architecture, software, hardware and the necessary factions of this system are introduced in detail for reference of practical design.
