Remote Laboratory for a Flexible Manufacturing Cell

This paper presents the development of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for a Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC) with educational purposes. The developed system can be used in local and remote way, where the users can interact with the different elements that compose the FMC by means of an intuitive interface allowing changing setup parameters, sending orders, visualizing the state of the cell, etc. The full system is described remarking the advantages from an educational point of view.
