In order to meet the needs of real-time positioning and remote dispatching of vehicle, this paper designs a ZigBee-based embedded vehicle terminal and the corresponding ZigBee-GPRS information communication network in hardware and software. With LPC2366 processor and CC2430 RF chip as core, the vehicle terminal acquires the vehicle‘s status in cycle, and completes the vehicle monitoring and scheduling by transmitting data to communication nodes by ZigBee and passing the data on to the monitoring center by GPRS. This vehicle terminal is characterized by small size, low energy consumption and ideal communication distance, which makes the monitoring center effectively monitor and schedule the vehicles.

Although being not in accordance with the original concept proposed in the “Industrie 4.0”, the smart factory has been gradually applied to the practice. In contrast, we can observe that nearly all discourses, suggestions and discussions have been carried out without considering the convertibility of flexible manufacturing in FCIPS (Flexible Computer-Integrated Production Structure), which is the utmost leading facility within the industrial nation, to the CPS (Cyber Physical Systems) module in the smart factory. Admitting the powerful potentiality of the smart factory, at crucial issue is to discuss to what extent and how the technological and human resources so far accumulated in FCIPS are available for the smart factory. This paper proposes, first, the conceptual drawing of the smart factory on the basis of the concept of FCIPS, and then suggests the similarity of both the concepts. In fact, the smart factory consists of cloud computing, information communication network and CPS modules, whereas FCIPS consists of CIM, information communication network and a group of FMCs (Flexible Manufacturing Cells). Then, the paper describes the present and near future perspectives of the CPS module and FMC, especially placing the stress on machining, and asserts the convertibility of FMC for “One-off Production with Keen Machining Cost” to the CPS module. Finally, the paper summarizes the research and engineering development subjects in FCIPS and the smart factory necessary to be investigated hereafter together with detailing one leading subject, i.e. methodology to incorporate the human-intelligence into CIM.
