Interface for Distributed Remote User Controlled Manufacturing

Abstract

Recent economic crisis has shown that classical approach to individual and local product oriented company is not sustainable in modern economic reality. Possible solution lies in high degrees of both specialization and flexibility product oriented small and medium-sized interchangeable production systems. According to that new wave, the main idea is based on exploring and testing of new possible designs and ways of control of human-computer interfaces for remote control of complex distributed manufacturing systems. Herein, the proposed remote system with Wall interface, video beam presentation mode and using group work enables producers in manufacturing sector to offer a product, through outsourcing manufacturing process and system in a global chain, utilizing ubiquitous computing systems and virtual and networked enterprises concepts, for anywhere-anytime control and give benefits to education sector, too, since students can dynamically interact with a real process to get a remote experimental practice, guaranteeing the availability of lab resource.
