AB  - The use of computers on the shop floor has been slight compared
with their widespread acceptance at higher levels in the manufacturing
environment. Today, there is an urgency to redress this imbalance by
investing in modern production facilities, but progress is being
restricted by the void between the operational requirements of the upper
and lower levels. The Discrete Cell Controller (DCC) is considered to be
capable of satisfying this role. This article considers the measures
taken by a consortium of industrial and academic partners to determine
the specification of a DCC and, in particular, identify the generic
content.
