“…The system core is built on the base of multiagent technology that allows for developing flexible and easy to reconfigure systems. Applying this technology into some monitoring solutions was tested by Desforges [22], Mangina [23] and Liu [24]. Multiagent system is consist of intelligent objects -agents.…”

Accepted: 19 November 2016 Integrated monitoring system for discrete manufacturing processes is presented in the paper. The multilayer hardware and software reference model was developed. Original research are an answer for industry needs of the integration of information flow in production process.Reference model corresponds with proposed data model based on multilayer data tree allowing to describe orders, products, processes and save monitoring data. Elaborated models were implemented in the integrated monitoring system demonstrator developed in the project. It was built on the base of multiagent technology to assure high flexibility and openness on applying intelligent algorithms for data processing. Currently on the base of achieved experience an application integrated monitoring system for real production system is developed. In the article the main problems of monitoring integration are presented, including specificity of discrete production, data processing and future application of Cyber-Physical-Systems. Development of manufacturing systems is based more and more on taking an advantage of applying intelligent solutions into machine and production process control and monitoring. Connection of technical systems, machine tools and manufacturing processes monitoring with advanced information processing seems to be one of the most important areas of near future development. It will play important role in efficient operation and competitiveness of the whole production system. It is also important area of applying in the future CyberPhysical-Systems that can radically improve functionally of monitoring systems and reduce the cost of its implementation.

“…A very interesting direction in CNC development is research on applying a multi-agent philosophy that allows the implementation of intelligence at various levels of the control system [147]. An example is the MADCON system that was developed to simplify the interaction between hardware and software functions, simplifying system customization and allowing for simple integration of control and monitoring functions [148].…”

Monitoring is an important part of manufacturing process control and management. It plays a crucial role in ensuring agility in a manufacturing system, process robustness, responsiveness to client demands, and achievement of a sustainable production environment. Recent developments in information systems and computer technology allows for the implementation of new philosophies that integrate various monitoring applications into one complex system connected through company-wide IT systems and with systems operating throughout the whole supply chain. This paper reviews developments in the area of advanced monitoring and integration. Research on new approaches, standards, developed solutions, and company applications are presented. New directions of research and development in all areas of advanced monitoring and implementation of recent IT solutions are discussed.

“…Another application of smart sensors in manufacturing equipment and process monitoring and diagnostics, condition based monitoring and product quality monitoring is studied in [4,11]. A distributed framework based on smart sensors for machine tools and monitoring is presented in [12,13]. Therefore the idea of using WSNs in industrial application is justified in the literatures; however the implementation is not addressed for modern manufacturing systems.…”
