From e-manufacturing to m-manufacturing

Abstract EN

This paper studies the impact of wireless technologies on enterprises.

A multitude of new paradigms and new software technologies have emerged from the web.

E-business and e-manufacturing have really transformed concepts and practices in enterprises.

Wireless technologies added new possibilities for these technologies, by this work we propose m-manufacturing as a component of e-manufacturing when practiced in mobile environment, then compare e-manufacturing to m-manufacturing.

We applied our proposed approach to model m-maintenance of spare parts.

Combination of mobile agent technology and fault-tolerant principles has given an appropriate global solution tom m-maintenance issues.
