The rapid growth of information technology and internet based skills has an effect on the structure of production for a conventional manufacturing industry. Recently, the concept of ‘E-Manufacturing’ is used as a total solution for improving the competitiveness of company. This paper introduces the web-based monitoring/control system as a new concept to improve productivity in mold manufacturing. The primary goal of the proposed system is that it reduces load time and improves product quality in shop floor. The major functions of the proposed system are: (a) providing a transparent, seamless and automated information exchange to monitor the process remotely, (b) improving the utilization of resource through production schedule or process control, and (c) supporting the effective information using the simulation tool. The operating system is developed using the VC and OpenGL, and the system connects with internet for remote monitoring & control methods.
