An industrial manufacturing
system is described, the industrial manufacturing
system comprising a plurality of
machine tools (50a-50d; 102) for mounting on a
machine tool (50a-50d; 102), one or more measurement probes (54a-54d; 120) for a motor vehicle. The
system comprises an
industrial communication network (100) and a
cellular radio network (60; 106), which is connected to each
machine tool (50a-50d; 102) for controlling a
machine tool control (52a-52d; 118), which has a plurality of channels for communicating with each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120), a plurality of cellular base stations (62a-62c; 110) is provided. The cellular positioning unit (66; 108) is provided for calculating a position of each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120), and a measurement
control unit (70; 122) uses each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120) to determine a position of the measurement probe (54a-54d; 120) is mounted on which
machine tool (50a-50d; 102) on the substrate (100). Thus, the measurement
control unit (70; 122) in such a way that a measurement
signal from each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120) to which the measuring probe is mounted can be measured with respect to the measurement data from a
machine tool (50a-50d; 102) of the machine (102) is used together with the corresponding machine position data. A method of operation of such an industrial manufacturing system is also described.
