Abstract: In the manufacturing execution system (MES), configurability, reconfiguration, expansibility has always been one of the difficulties to be solved. In this paper, we present an integrated platform for configurable event-triggered rules base and real-time message queue engine service based on adaptive quality of service (QoS) publish/subscribe. Through the event-triggered rule base management, we configure event-triggered rules in different business processes, to implement event-based production process models and describe the actual productions. We use publish/subscribe service model for a large number of mechanisms to achieve real-time event handling message passing, and complete bottom-up information collection and processing. And tests proved that, performance of MES platform is improved.
