This study proposesan over all framework for applying wireless manufacturing(WM)technologies in a smart factory and establishes a smart factory data computing and information using system (dc-IUS). Several plug-and-play (PnP) application modules of the dc-IUS are presented in the fields of machining process and quality control,material flow and inventory control,and factory resource tracking. Different schemes are discussed about how and where to apply these functions. Then some running examples are studied to demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of dc-IUS. At last,the challenges of applying WM are discussed and a conclusion is given.
