Abstract: The objective of our research is to develop a web-based collaborative framework called web-based integrated sensor-driven e-ShopFloor (Wise-ShopFloor). The framework is designed to use the popular client–server architecture and View-Control-Model (VCM) design pattern with secure session control. The proposed solutions for meeting both the user requirements demanding rich data sharing and the real-time constraints are: (1) using interactive scene graph-based Java 3D models instead of bandwidth-consuming camera images for shop floor visualisation; (2) transmitting only the sensor data and control commands between models and devices for monitoring and control; (3) providing clients with user-friendly GUI for shop floor navigation and (4) deploying control logics in an application server. This paper presents the basis of the framework for building web-based collaborative systems that can be used for web-based manufacturing. A proof-of-concept prototype system is developed on top of the framework to demonstrate one of its potential applications on shop floor monitoring and control.
