Abstract:

SUMMARYIn the context of computer-integrated manufacture (CIM), the paper describes the need for flexible “intelligent” machinery and the need for integrated and distributed software. Methodologies in obtaining appropriate solutions are discussed and related to two major SERC sponsored research programmes at Loughborough University, which concern (i) the design of a family of mechanical and control system modules to allow robots to be configured with user defined kinematic and dynamic properties, and (ii) the design of distributed hardware and software structures, based on internationally acce

Abstract:

The flexible manufacturing system (FMS) has attracted substantial amount of research effort during the last twenty years. Most of the studies address the issues of flexibility, productivity, cost, and so forth. The impact of flexible lines on product quality is less studied. This paper intends to address this issue by applying a Markov model to evaluate quality performance of a flexible manufacturing system. Closed expressions to calculate good part probability are derived and discussions to maintain high product quality are carried out. An example of flexible fixture in machining system is pr

Abstract:

Product development is becoming more complex. Product design is desired to be undertaken together with the considerations of downstream processes such as manufacturing and assembling. The product data exchange between CAD and PDM systems is a crucial issue for the integration of product development systems. To solve this, this paper focuses on a flexible, unified data model based on PDM that integrates information and models from different engineering domains. Some key technologies, such as type of data organization and data exchange between PDM and CAD, are researched based on the case of Sma

Defects generated by the UK supply chain is much higher than its global competitors.

Abstract:

The necessity of coordination among entities is essential for the success of any supply chain management (SCM). This paper focuses on coordination between two players and cost-sharing in an SCM that considers a vendor and a buyer. For random demand and complex product production, a flexible production system is recommended. The study aims to minimize the total SCM cost under stochastic conditions. In the flexible production systems, the production rate is introduced as the decision variable and the unit production cost is minimum at the obtained optimal value.

The implementation of Industry 4.0 and smart factory concepts changes the ways of manufacturing and production and requires the combination and interaction of different technologies and systems. The need for rapid implementation is steadily increasing as customers demand individualized products which are only possible if the production unit is smart and flexible. However, an existing factory cannot be transformed easily into a smart factory, especially not during operational mode. Therefore, designers and engineers require solutions which help to simulate the aspired change beforehand, thus ru

A flexible information model for systematic development and deployment of product families during all phases of the product realization process is crucial for product-oriented organizations.

Abstract:

Manufacturing products tailored to the individual requirements of customers is a must if companies want to compete effectively on the market. The production of customized goods poses new challenges for all areas of functioning of production systems. It is necessary to adopt such rules and methods that will allow a flexible response to product design changes and their demand In the organization of production flow (materials and information). The article presents research carried out in the SmartFactory laboratory of the Poznań University of Technology regarding the impact of the structure of pr

Abstract:

Industry 4.0 and lean management both focus on increasing productivity of industrial systems. Industry 4.0 is foreseen to revolutionize today’s manufacturing environment whereas lean management is an integrated techno-operational system which has gained increasing importance in recent times to bring about a competitive state in an organization. Though in the last three decades there have been rigorous studies on lean manufacturing (LM), its implementation in the Indian manufacturing domain is still in its nascent stage. A lack of research to explore the potential use of Industry 4.0 is also no

Abstract:

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a major problem confronting manufacturing organizations that have deployed large-scale enterprise information systems and aim to coordinate inter- and intraorganizational product development, supply-chain, and customer management activities. Successful EAI is a key enabling step toward implementation of viable Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) strategies. Extant EAI technologies, such as distributed object and messaging technologies for communication and ontology-based database schema integration, are tedious to develop and maintain in an organizat

Abstract:

This paper develops a novel mixed integer nonlinear programming model for the intra-cell layout design of dynamic cellular manufacturing systems. In dynamic environment, the product mix and part demand are varying during a multi-period planning horizon. As a result, the cell configuration for one period may not be efficient for successive periods and thus necessitates reconfigurations. The proposed model incorporates several design features including intra-cell layout, operation sequence, operation time, alternative process routings, duplicate machines, purchase machine, machine capacity, rout

Abstract:

Modern manufacturing plants even if they produce in large quantities, they often have to change the settings of their production lines. Customers do not want a standard product but personalized models. If the differences are only an option that can be mounted to the finished elements is not difficult. When the differences are much more serious and require changes in the technology of the element. Such orders are collected and made periodically so customers have to wait. Sometimes the wait time is several months. Changing the configuration of the production line or just a robot cell is a diffic

Abstract:

Batch process control is typically used for repeated chemical reaction tasks. It starts with a measured liquid material filling operations followed by a controlled reaction leading to the discharge or transport of processed quantities of material. The input materials is contained in vessel reactor and subjected to a sequence of processing activities over a recipe predefined duration of time. Batch systems are designed to measure, process, and discharge a varying volume of liquid from drums, tanks, reactors, or other large storage vessel using a programmable logic controller (PLC).
