Abstract

CIMMs (Computer Integrated Manufacturing systems) are important systems for overall automation of manufacturing enterprises, especially big ones. The general issues of the computer system topology were analyzed earlier. The present case study concerns the detailed design of the optimum LAN for the CIMMs sphere, based on the actual data for a big Polish household appliance manufacturer. For the data, the optimal LAN topology is determined, assuming development of democratic networks. In addition, the optimal topology for the general case is derived.
