Abstract
This paper describes an overview of a manufacturing support system for smaller enterprises and also describes a remote monitoring and management system as one component of the support system. A development and test operation of a load balancing system with remote control functions that is a sub-system of the remote monitoring and management system is also discussed in this paper. The load balancing system has MES, which integrated with a commercial manufacturing scheduling system by using PSLX. The system creates the workload balancing uniformity with the remote control by operating the production schedule file of the manufacturing system. This method allows the load balancing system to take the operator's decisions into consideration. The developed load balancing system performed quite well in the test operation and offers a practical solution for better management of manufacturing systems in smaller enterprises.
