Abstract
A system and method of connecting remotely located machine tools over the Internet. An agent-adapter architecture is used to transform the machine tools into IoT devices in a connected group that communicates with each other for exchanging their status information and executing operations remotely over the Internet.
Claims20
A system of connected devices comprising:
- a plurality of machine tools, said machine tools adapted to communicate with one another;
- at least one agent and at least one adapter;
- and
- said at least one agent and at least one adapter both configured to form an agent-adapter architecture, said agent-adapter architecture adapted to incorporate said plurality of machine tools into a connected group that directly communicates with each other for exchanging their status information and remotely over the Internet;
- and
- said executed operations are actions to be performed by a machine tool and are communicated directly between said machine tools.
