Abstract: Modeling is the basis of manufacturing system analysis and design.As a socio-technical system,a wisdom manufacturing (WM) system is in need of discussion from two aspects of society and technology.Therefore,in a semiotic perspective the onion model and ladder model for the WM system were established and analyzed,where the both models were designed to consist of a social,a cyber and a physical system,and the ladder model was used to explicate existing integrated manufacturing systems.It is pointed out that the existing manufacturing systems differ in what level in the semiotic ladder is reached or how many semiotic levels are contained,and the WM system covers and integrates all semiotic levels.The proposed ladder model provides a systematic theoretical framework with solid foundations for the integration and modeling of manufacturing systems.
