The hierarchy transformation method consists of a series of transformations through functional, controllable, dynamic, commanding hierarchies for CIM implementation. Here a functional hierarchy is initially constructed from a manufacturing system specification. Then a controllable hierarchy at the design stage is constructed after the functional hierarchy. Subsequently, a dynamic hierarchy and a commanding hierarchy are constructed through transformations at the verification and implementation stages, respectively. After invariant analysis at the verification stage, the controlled objects at the implementation stage are generated by computation. After deadlock analysis, their behaviours are monitored and predicted by verified rules. This provides not only a systematic method, but also a formal approach for CIM implementation. 相似文献

This paper presents the syntax and semantics of a component-oriented rule-based language for specifying the formal models of manufacturing systems. A model captures the state of a component of the system in a set of first-order logic predicates, and it captures the semantics of the operations performed by this component in a set of rules that determine the preconditions and postconditions of an operation. The models are then used to plan the sequence of operations of each class of jobs to be manufactured by these systems. A plan-oriented fault detection and correction strategy is proposed. This strategy can automatically handle any combination of faults that may occur when monitoring the operations of manufacturing systems. A fault-tree is consulted prior to executing the scheduled operations of a plan, and the faults that affect the execution of these operations are handled subsequently. Resuming the original cyclic schedule is attempted, whenever feasible. As a proof of concept, a prototype implementation of both the main constructs of the component-oriented rule-based language and the planning and fault-recovery algorithms presented in this paper have been completed. This prototype is implemented on a Unix-based system in the Ada programming language. The specification of a manufacturing system is first expressed in the proposed language. These statements are then translated into Ada code. This code is next compiled by a Verdix Ada compiler and is executed in order to create and populate the model data structure of the system. A detailed plan of execution and a set of fault-recovery plans may then be derived for a job to be manufactured on this system. 相似文献

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies provide more freedom to functional part design in various industries. One of the unique capabilities of AM is that multi-material parts can be produced with material compositional and geometric complexity. Multi-material parts have the advantage of achieving multiple performance requirements. In the research, we propose a framework for designing multi-material parts using AM processes. The proposed framework is composed of four interacting modules, including design requirement identification, primary material selection, AM process selection, material composition, and part geometry determination. Rules and guidelines for AM are integrated into the proposed framework with AM processes’ capabilities and constraints compiled in databases. We also introduce databases to assist in decision-making and ensure manufacturability of the designed multi-material part in various product design phases. The proposed framework is applied to a case study involving a conceptual design of a multi-material battery pack cooling plate. 相似文献

This paper proposes an object-oriented approach to the specification of manufacturing systems. The specification model is built around a set of concurrent cooperating objects whose behaviour is described using communicating finite state machines. One of the interesting features of this approach is that the system's environment can be included in the model. This allows for rapid prototyping of the system through realistic simulations. 相似文献

The interconnection pattern of the processing modules of a computerized manufacturing system affects its performance. In this article, we discuss a set of requirements that the interconnection network should satisfy. Subsequently, we concentrate on a simple and popular architecture, the loop network. The problem we address is to design the layout of the system so that the number of machines that the part types cross in their manufacturing process is minimized. We formulate the problem mathematically and solve it by a heuristic that obtains consistently better results than an earlier popular method. 相似文献

This paper presents the design, development, and implementation of an integrated control framework that provides a real-time supervisory control model with limited look-ahead capability for flexible manufacturing systems. Control goals and policies are modeled and characterized by a fuzzy rule base, which is integrated with the control model. The framework consists of a finite state machine generator and a controller. The generator model is equipped with an output function and output sets. The controller model has a four-stage decision-making structure. The controller monitors performance measures of the manufacturing system and reacts according to the changes in the system states in order to keep the performance measures at desired levels. The integrated framework has been implemented on a software platform in order to validate its effectiveness. The performance of the framework has been tested on a hypothetical flexible manufacturing system using a simulation . 相似文献

Knowledge engineering technology has been applied to the construction of a tool which aims to provide support during the complicated process of manufacturing system desing. Based on the ‘controllability engineering’ method, this knowledge-based system is directed towards the analysis and redesigning of manufacturing systems. The approach used in the construction of the CENT system is based on accumulated case experiences which have been implemented on hypermedia tools. Building problems associated with the project are described, alternative solutions to the problems encountered are explored, the project's current status is outlined, and the knowledge-based system's use is detailed. 相似文献

Manufacturing systems design involves the solution of a complex series of interrelated problems. This complexity will increase in the future as manufacturing practices change to meet increased global competition. Research within manufacturing systems design has mainly been focused on finding improved models for solving particular problems, or extending existing modeling techniques. This has resulted in numerous modeling tools being available to support manufacturing systems design. However, little research work has been carried out into consolidating the existing theories and models. As a result, a large body of this work has not been applied in industry.Model management has evolved as a research area which investigates methods for storing, modifying, and manipulating models. This article describes a prototype model management system for manufacturing systems design. The objective here is not to develop another decision support system for manufacturing design, but to illustrate, through the development of a prototype system, a number of key ideas of how concepts from the area of model management systems can be used to support manufacturing systems design. The prototype model management system utilizes the structured modeling framework and uses an extended version of the structured modeling language. An important aspect of the prototype model management system is the incorporation of the model development task, thus allowing the system to be easily updated and adapted. The prototype system was evaluated using a range of queueing network models for manufacturing systems design. 相似文献

A methodology is presented for the design of advanced manufacturing systems (AMSs). Following an introduction to the problems of specifying AMSs, a survey and classification of methodologies is presented. The classification is further illustrated in discussing some existing methodologies, namely, decisional (graphe à résultats et activités interreliés (GRAI)), informational (structured system analysis design (SSAD)) and physical (graphe de commande etape-transition (GRAFCET)). 相似文献

The product life cycle for semiconductor manufacturing facilities has been significantly reduced as a result of the technological advancement of the semiconductor manufacturing process and the expansion of its demand. To ensure long-term market competitiveness under this environment, many companies attempt to convert their systems into mass customization production systems. In general, the specification management for semiconductor manufacturing equipment has adopted the method of making the bill of materials structure of the existing equipment into a new one based on the same physical structure and then customizing it according to a customer’s demands in the detail design phase. However, this method results in longer lead times and difficulties maintaining data consistency due to frequent design changes in connection with various derived products. We suggest a sandglass-type product specification management method to efficiently reflect varying and versatile requirements in product development and shorten the design lead time. In addition, we propose a method to support the modular design of semiconductor manufacturing equipment by classifying the standard specifications for a final product into product component and part component specifications. Finally, we develop a closed-loop product specification management system called NEXUS using our method, and apply this system to semiconductor manufacturing processes. 相似文献

This paper presents a systematic approach for the design and implementation of the sequence controller in manufacturing systems. By employing the IDEF0, we construct the simplified Petri net controller (SPNC) through the material flow diagram and the information flow diagram. Then, the ladder logic diagram (LLD) can be transformed from the SPNC through the token passing logic (TPL). The proposed approach, including the IDEF0, SPNC, and TPL tools, leads to the standard IEC1131-3 LLD for PLC implementation. Finally, an application of a stamping process is provided to illustrate the design procedure of the developed approach . 相似文献

Manufacturing organizations worldwide are re-inventing their product development practices in an effort to satisfy changing
customer requirements. In the context of these changes influencing the manufacturing community, there is a need to develop
frameworks, architectures, and methods to facilitate the creation, implementation, and functioning of virtual enterprises
(VEs). This paper presents an Internet-based framework, which supports distributed process planning activities in the context
of a VE. Typically, in a VE, the enterprise partners are distributed, and possess diverse skills and heterogeneous software
resources, which employ heterogeneous computing platforms. Using the developed approach, physically distributed product development
partners can collaborate virtually via the Internet and integrate their life-cycle product development activities through
seamless information exchange. In this framework, the distributed manufacturing resources communicate with each other via
the Internet inter-ORB protocol (IIOP) using an object request broker (ORB) at each distributed site. 相似文献

In the face of increasing worldwide competition, many manufacturing companies are reassessing their operations. Systematic design of manufacturing systems increasingly requires the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach involving all aspects of a company's activities. In carrying out this task, well structured knowledge-based systems can act as a useful tool for supporting the work of trained manufacturing systems engineers. This is due to the complex and iterative nature of the systems design process which requires the integration of knowledge from a number of application domains. User acceptance of the resulting knowledge-based system is critically dependent on the human-computer interface which, in this case, must be adaptable to the varied requirements of users with different levels of expertise and specialist skills. This paper describes the facilities provided in one such knowledge-based tool developed to help redesign existing manufacturing systems. 相似文献

Flexible manufacturing systems are designed to produce a variety of different part types with high machine utilisation, short
lead times and little work-in-progress inventory. Simulation is an efficient tool to verify design concepts, to select machinery,
to evaluate alternative configurations and to test system control strategies of an FMS. This paper discusses a general-purpose,
user-oriented discrete simulator (the Modular FMS Simulator) which can be used for design as well as for operation and scheduling
of FMSs. The package can be implemented in different hierarchical steps of FMS production planning. It is also a useful tool
in validating the results of analytical models or heuristic procedures developed for FMS problems. This package contains features
for the system hardware and the control hierarchy. The model can study multiple part families, various station types, different
number of work-in-process buffers and carts and almost any system layout. It is also possible to analyse the performance of
the system. The package contains a set of decision rules from which the user can make his choice. 相似文献

A manufacturing system should be able to produce a variety of components at a low cost and in a short period of time. In this paper, manufacturing system reconfigurability in agile manufacturing is discussed. The reconfiguration of a manufacturing system is analysed based on the relationship of component routes, material handling costs, reconfiguration cost, and so on. Components with similar routes are selected in an early design stage in order to minimise the number of machines to be relocated. The variety of resources required is reduced by a proper selection of components and manufacturing processes for system reconfiguration. An algorithm for selection of components and manufacturing resources is developed. 相似文献

Product design is an integral component of manufacturing systems. This paper presents a prototype intelligent concurrent design task planner, which combines the strength of genetic algorithms and an iterative design analyser for the scheduling of a complex design process of a manufacturing system. It accounts significantly for shortening the time-to-market of a product, and hence, improves the agility of a manufacturing system. The proposed prototype attempts to schedule the design process inherently containing iteration, which is caused by the interdependencies among tasks and leads to prolonged lead-time and increased cost on the whole time-span of introducing a product. Genetic algorithm (GA), as one of the effective optimisation techniques, is embodied in the prototype to search for the optimal schedule for a design process for the goal of satisfying the managerial objective under resource constraints. The iterative design analyser, which is basically an analytical tool for design iteration, is utilised to estimate the time and engineering cost spent on the design process for each candidate schedule. Considering the unpredictable length of a schedule for iterative design process, a novel chromosome representation scheme and unique crossover and mutation operators have been introduced. A case study conducted on a burn-in system of a manufacturing company has illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed prototype. 相似文献
