In this paper, we present an experimental platform for education and research purposes. The physical system of this platform is composed of a manufacturing workshop (physical plant) remotely controlled based upon Internet. The information system is composed of three Web applications allowing to order products (ecommerce), plan production campaign (e-plan) and control the workshop in order to release production (e-mes). We first describe an education application for engineer students to learn them how to control several production units (eventually on different sites). This platform would also be used as a demo for research works in the field of industrial engineering.
