Abstract:

A flexible workcell controller has been developed using a three level control hierarchy (workcell, workstation, equipment). The cell controller is automatically generated from a model input by the user. The model consists of three sets of graphs. One set of graphs describes the process plans of the parts produced by the manufacturing system, one set describes movements into, out of and within workstations, and the third set describes movements of parts/transporters between workstations. The controller uses an event driven Petri net to maintain state information and to communicate with lower

Abstract:

Per molti anni la ricerca scientifica si è concentrata sui diversi aspetti di gestione dei sistemi manifatturieri, dall’ottimizzazione dei singoli processi produttivi, fino alla gestione delle più complesse imprese virtuali. Tuttavia molti aspetti inerenti il coordinamento e il controllo, ancora presentano problematiche rilevanti in ambito industriale e temi di ricerca aperti. L’applicazione di tecnologie avanzate e di strumenti informatici evoluti non riesce da sola a garantire il successo nelle funzioni di controllo e di integrazione. Al fine di ottenere un alto grado di efficienza, è

Abstract:

Flexible production techniques have been implemented in a number of industries in response to the crisis following the long post World War Two boom. These new methods have recently captured the attention of social scientists from a broad range of perspectives. In the large North American automobile industry, where flexible manufacturing is best documented, firms are introducing programmable equipment, work teams are replacing the assembly line, inventories are kept at a minimum, improving turnaround time and quality are important goals, and markets are smaller as specific consumers are targete

Abstract:

<p> Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are production systems consisting of identical multipurpose numerically controlled machines (workstations), automated material handling system, tools, load and unload stations, inspection stations, storage areas and a hierarchical control system. The latter has the task of coordinating and integrating all the components of the whole system for automatic operations. A particular characteristic of FMSs is their complexity along with the difficulties in building analytical models that capture the system in all its important aspects. Thus optimal con

Abstract:

This thesis covers a variety of inter-related scheduling and layout issues encountered in flexible manufacturing systems. The principal focus is upon systems which adopt the commonly implemented loop layout configuration. A pivotal idea behind the work is that products must revisit machines during their manufacture. The work encompasses both computational and theoretical results. The computational work consists of testing both new and standard heuristic and local search techniques on two strongly NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problems, one related to layout and the other to single machine

Abstract:

This paper presents a hierarchical modeling method that can be used to simulate a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) at all levels of detail. The method was developed specifically to aid the software development needed for the hierarchy of computers that are present in an FMS. The method was developed by modeling an existing FMS. The models developed of the existing FMS are described in detail to provide an example of how to model other FMSs. The basic building blocks needed for designing other FMSs with this modeling method are provided. The models were written in the SIMAN simulation lang

Abstract:

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) seeks to integrate computers into the manufacturing environment, with the end result being a more efficient and productive factory. Current approaches to CIM generally fail to truly integrate the various manufacturing functions (design, scheduling, planning, manufacture, business, etc.) and instead result in self-sufficient, computer- served 'islands of automation.' In these systems, data must be translated before moving from one manufacturing function to another. Wu and Madison have approached data modeling in a CIM environment from a new perspective. T

Abstract:

In this thesis, we consider a capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. We assume limited time and tool magazine capacities on the Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines. We have a set of operations that have to be assigned to the machines and each operation requires a set of tools to be processed. Our problem is to allocate the available capacity of the CNC machines to operations and their required tools. We consider two problems in this study: maximizing the total weight of operations where there are a limited number of tools of each type available and maximizing

This research explores a hardware-based parallel simulation mechanism that can dramatically improve the speed of simulating flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) by applying appropriate enabling hardware technologies. The hardware-based parallel simulation refers to running a simulation on a multi-microprocessor integrated circuit board, called the simulator, which is specifically designed for the purpose of simulating a specific FMS. The board is composed of a collection of micro-emulators capable of mimicking the operation of equipment in FMS such as machining centers, transporters, and load

Cell formation in cellular manufacturing deals with the identification of machines which can be grouped to create manufacturing cells as well as the identification of part families processed within each cell. Manufacturing flexibility is the property of the system components that are integrally designed and linked to each other in order to allow the adaptation to various tasks. This research focuses on classifying and quantifying several types of cellular manufacturing flexibility. These types are defined in order to respond to internal and external changes.

Abstract:

A hierarchical methodology is developed for the overall design of manufacturing systems. The methodology consists of solutions to four levels of problems, namely, (1) manufacturing system selection, (2) shop loading, (3) machine loading and tool allocation, and (4) testing the feasibility of a schedule and determining strategies for the operational control of the system. Although these problem levels are developed in a hierarchical sense, they can be applied independently by assuming appropriate inputs to the problem level under consideration. The third and the fourth level problems are addres
