主要内容：

A typical plant consists of serval manufacturing lines and each line is made of a combination of several equipment. Each equipment is supplied by different manufactures. Change of products to be made requires reintegration of these equipment. There exists serval open problems & opportunities for control/automation researchers particularly in today where modern communication makes big industrial data increasingly available. How the research/education community take this advantage to address the manufacturing challenges. The speaker would like to take thermoplastic injection molding as an example to illustrate and discuss the challenges and opportunities for a smart manufacturing plant.
