SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING DATA CAPTURE AND MESSAGING
First Claim
1. A system for manufacturing data capture and messaging, the system comprising:
- a master facility control subsystem in communication with at least one production facility;
a plurality of station units in communication with the master facility control subsystem, each of the station units comprising,one or more data collection devices configurable to collect data from work pieces and data entered by a worker at the station; and
a station node comprising a controller configurable to receive station data from the one or more data collection devices, wherein the station node is further configurable to transmit the station data to the master control facility subsystem for processing and storage.
