Abstract
The support of manufacturing machines with IT solutions becomes state-of-the art in the production process. For this reason the European Chinese research project KoBaS (Knowledge Based Customized Services for Traditional Manufacturing Sectors Provided by a Network of High Tech SMEs) aims to create customized services for manufacturing machines providing a set of tools including advanced task and process planning machine configuration, maintenance, training and management support. This paper describes a software application for capturing and re-using rule based knowledge concerning manufacturing machine services listed before. The system is designed to support different kinds of manufacturing machines and manufacturing machine specific domains and furthermore to support an open and easy to implement data exchange and communication process. The focus of this paper lays on the description of the setup phase for a certain machine solution.
