The paper describes a general architecture to access remotely to manufactufing plants through Internet-like networks. The operations remote users may perform over the plant are discussed in order to identify profiles and objects that group these actions. Finally, there is a discussion about which UML diagrams may be used in order to outline the architecture from the different points of view.
