THE PROJECT

MOTION addressed this important business area, and the innovative architecture developed and demonstrated allows end-users to implement new methods of working and achieve business process improvements in terms of improved product design, improved productivity and reduced time to market.

The MOTION system supports several key requirements for distributed business processes, including:

• efficient information sharing across a widely distributed enterprise environment;
• constant and timely update of the distributed knowledge base, with many different sites acting both as potential users as well as potential providers of information;
• shared access to different, integrated manufacturing engineering services, supporting both local activities as well as mobile working.
