Abstract
A system for controlling manufacturing systems having workstations and tools using a Limis system to operate the controllers for the tools. Limis systems use an active transceiver (AT) and one or more passive transceivers (PT). The PT's are attached to the moving parts of the tools, the raw materials, work pieces and other tools. The Pt's communicate with the AT's by coded EMR, light and sound transmission.
