“…E-mfg is the application of open, flexible, reconfigurable computing techniques and communication for the enhancement of efficiency of the whole supply chain. As e-mfg is supported by information technology (such as Internet) and has the capability in multi-site management, it will foster and improve the competitive capability of manufacturing in the global competition [ 15 ]. E-mfg can be determined as IT-based manufacturing model, optimizing resource handling over entire enterprise and extended supply chain [ 16 ].…”

Cost-effective manufacturing and technology-based manufacturing are basic keywords in contemporary manufacturing. Efficiency and productivity require extremely good job management, correlation of resources and competencies to production requirements, as well as continuous monitoring of possible wastes and additional expenditures, i.e. real efficiency of the continuous improvement process. In the current article the methodology of technological resources and competence management evaluation in terms of manufacturing system ontology are analysed in pre-order and post-order fulfilment stages. The expedience of resources operation and order outsourcing, but also corresponding risk management principles are analysed. The elaborated methodology enables enterprises to implement a more rational utilization of manufacturing resources by estimating the influence of existing competencies and technological possibilities into productivity and efficiency.

“…E-manufacturing optimises the use of production assets based on information exchange from shop-floor operations across the enterprise to the whole supply chain [6]. Its ability to integrate manufacturing information systems and plant controls gives management the ability to monitor plant floor assets and enable real-time decisionmaking [7].…”

Many of the production costs for producing tea are attributable to the process of drying the tea. E-manufacturing can assist companies to reduce these production costs by making crucial information available to decision-makers so that they can make informed decisions. This paper presents an application of e-manufacturing to the design of an automatic tea drying control system. This control system will ensure that the multiple drying parameters such as temperature, dryer-exit tea moisture content, and fuel consumption are maintained at optimal states during the course of the drying of tea. The additional aim of this system is to balance the cost of production and the quality of the final product. Using the Guggenheim-Anderson-De Boer (GAB) model, the optimum drying temperature was found to be 100-110°C, while maintaining a dryer-exit tea moisture content of 3 to 3.12 per cent, at a drying rate of 3 per cent per minute. A Barix control application to control the system's activities, using the web user interface (WUI), was also developed. OPSOMMING'n Groot gedeelte van die koste in die produksie van tee is as gevolg van die teedroogproses. E-vervaardiging kan die produksiekoste verminder deur kritiese inligting vir die besluitnemers beskikbaar te stel. Hierdie studie beskryf 'n toepassing van e-vervaardiging op die ontwerp van 'n outomatiese tee-droog beheerstelsel. Die beheerstelsel verseker dat al die droogparameters, soos temperatuur, voggehalte en brandstofverbruik, by optimum toestande beheer word deur die loop van die droogproses. Verder word daar deur die beheerstelsel 'n balans tussen die produksiekoste en die gehalte van die finale produk gehandhaaf. Deur van die Guggenheim-Anderson-De Boer (GAB) model gebruik te maak, is die optimale droogtemperatuur gevind om tussen 100 tot 110°C te lê, terwyl die droëruitlaatvoggehalte tussen 3 en 3.12% met 'n droogtempo van 3% per minuut te lê. 'n Barix beheer program is ontwikkel om die beheerstelsel se werksaamhede te monitor.2 The paper was written in support of L. Nyanga's PhD research on the development of an emanufacturing model for the South African industry.

About 10 % of total industrial energy consumption in Europe is spent for generation of compressed air, which can be found in almost all manufacturing industries. Compressed air is very expensive energy source, thus big attention should be paid to the structure and condition of the compressed air system and to its energy consumption. Implementing energy saving measures with high monitoring level of compressed air system can significantly reduce factory energy consumption. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based monitoring solution for industrial pneumatic machines was developed. Sample tool kit system for production environment monitoring was also created. Monitoring of pneumatic system's condition by online wireless senor network allows forecasting technical, managerial and maintenance problems in larger supply chain.
