像MTConnect这样的机器通信协议的出现和稳定采用正在引导制造业实现更大的机器互操作性，更高的运营生产率，以及在车间层面的高级决策能力的大幅成本节约。MTConnect GitHub存储库和NIST智能制造系统（SMS）测试床是从数控机床收集数据的两个主要资源。然而，这些工具在建模与仿真（M&S）场景中是不够的，并且是持久的，其中产生数百个MTConnect代理和数千个具有实时虚拟加工的适配器对于推进数字供应链的研究是必要的。本文介绍了一个灵活的模拟器测试床的多个MTConnect代理和适配器，用于模拟伊萨-95框架的0级和1级，并帮助支持复杂的多企业供应链场景中的研发活动。据作者所知，目前还没有可公开访问的多企业MTConnect测试平台。
The emergence and steady adoption of machine communication protocols like the MTConnect are steering the manufacturing sector towards greater machine interoperability, higher operational productivity, substantial cost savings with advanced decision-making capabilities at the shop-floor level. MTConnect GitHub repository and NIST Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) Test Bed are two major resources for collecting data from CNC machines. However, these tools would be insufficient and protractive in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) scenarios where spawning hundreds of MTConnect agents and thousands of adapters with real-time virtual machining is necessary for advancing research in the digital supply chain. This paper introduces a flexible simulator testbed of multiple MTConnect agents and adapters for simulating Levels 0 & 1 of the ISA-95 framework and help support R&D activities in complex multi-enterprise supply chain scenarios. To the best knowledge of the authors, there is no publicly accessible multi-enterprise MTConnect testbed yet.
