Those industries that need to maintain their position in a competitive level, at the currently information and trade globalization era, are being forced to introduce advanced production technologies achieving flexible manufacturing systems capable of managing transversals company’s processes. This paper shapes the evolution of a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) towards a Computer Integrated Manufacturing System (CIM) trough the integration process of two systems, a FMS and an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), using a middle tear interface with the purpose of automating the process of sending and receiving production information, to guarantee transparency of data and achieve processes improvement.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Ingenieria y Universidad}, author={Fúquene-Retamoso, Carlos Eduardo and Aguirre-Mayorga, Hugo Santiago and Córdoba-Pinzón, Nazly Bibiana}, year={2010}, month={Oct.} }
