“…In this search and selection of increasingly suitable machine tools for specific processes, the possibility of linking parallel robots in manufacturing processes is created due to their characteristics exhibited in operation, such as high speeds in the positioning of the effector, the rigidity exhibited in its actuators, high precision and load capacity in its mobile platform [2], [3], [4], [5]. Studying the dynamic performance of parallel robots, the effects of a variation in its dimensional parameters, seeking integration and interoperability through the implementation of communication protocols, and the development of machine tool language interpreters will allow defining new applications within the advanced manufacturing line [6], [7], [8].…”

Efforts are being made from different international spheres to enable integrated and interoperable manufacturing that supports the transfer of data between each linked system in the life cycle. Industry 4.0 demands integrated, independent solutions that overcome the interoperability barriers currently present in technology. Work done by the ISO TC 184 (ISO 10303) committee specifies a data structure that supports digital requirements and defines a new information model to support system integration. Furthermore, ISO 23247 defines a framework to support the creation of digital twins applied in manufacturing environments. A digital twin is considered an integrating link in the design, manufacturing, and inspection of a product. This new approach requires solutions in several aspects that allow the complete integration and interoperability of CAx (Computer-aided technologies) systems. This article presents an architecture for machine tool control using an interchange file interpreter from a STEP interchange file (ISO 10303-238:2020) to extract the path information. This technological solution integrates a configurable structure for two different types of parallel robots, remote connection via Ethernet, and flexibility to various parameters. The context of the problem is presented, and the solution is developed to analyze and validate the architecture.

There is a growing need to automate the footwear industry by introducing new methods and tools to improve footwear production. The use of CAD tools for the design of shoes and their components is increasingly common, but it is a sector in permanent adaptation to socio-economic changes where it is therefore complicated to incorporate high-tech machinery. The introduction of improvements in production is a necessity, so the use of technologies that allow the adaptation of old machinery with the latest technologies in the area of CAD/CAM would be an important advantage for the sector.So far, each component is designed and manufactured separately. In this way, the real dependence that exists between the different components required for manufacturing footwear means that a change in any of these elements implies a redesign (CAD level) of the rest of the elements. This fact increases the manufacturing cost. It is also necessary to modify the way of manufacturing the product (CAM level), which is a complex manual process in many cases. The introduction of changes in an industrial environment with limited resources means a very slow implementation.In this paper, a platform based on STEP-NC is defined to show the advantages that its implementation in footwear sector would imply, by relating all the elements involved in footwear manufacturing: CAD tools that generate the geometries of the components, CAM tools that define the paths for their machining, and the different machines that manufacture these components. Furthermore, additional advantages would be incorporated, such as process control, supervision, inspection, allowing information to flow in all directions.
