It is open, modula-rized, distributed, configurable, integratable and maintainable. By analyzing the MES domain in manufacturing systems, this paper proposes a multi-agent based MES model and analyzes the partitioned functions of MES in the model using unified modeling language (UML) diagrams, and establishes the ongoing implemented MES architecture. This MES can be facilely integrated with the enterprise resource planning (ERP), the floor control system (FCS), and the other manufacturing applications.展开更多
