XML-based manufacturing resource model for process planning

With the application of networked manufacturing, there are much distributed information's communication and sharing in different companies. The XML technology provides the solution of the project. The paper recommends a new view that applies XML technology to build manufacturing resource model for process planning in network environment, and studies the corresponding key technology and realizing methods. In the end, we develop a network-based manufacturing resource tool for process planning, which is introduced on the prototype of RR-CAPP as an main support function model.
