Abstract
The invention relates to a system for monitoring industrial processes, comprising sensor means for detecting one or more process quantities in at least one process station, acquisition and processing means operating on signals generated by the sensor means for obtaining information on process quality and means for managing the manufacturing flow operating on the basis of the information on process quality. The acquisition and processing means are arranged locally in the at least one process station, the means for managing the manufacturing flow are arranged in a remote position with respect to the acquisition and processing means, and it is provided for wireless transceiver means for exchanging the information on process quality between the acquisition and processing means and the means for managing the manufacturing flow.
