The aim of this paper is to show that absence of industrial controllers with appropriate capabilities - in the literature pointed out as the main development-related barrier for industrial deployment of Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) - is out of date. Trends in factory automation and the concept of Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC), which creates a promising perspective for industrial implementations of IMS, are briefly discussed. The results of a current phase of a project devoted to PAC-based IMS in a medium-size production company are presented. Experiments with an industrial testbed with limited functionality, used in a daily production process for 11 months, are described. Directions of the development of the system are discussed.
