An Architectural Solution for Virtual Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems using ISO Standards

Abstract

Nowadays, manufacturing environments are faced with globalization which urges new necessities for manufacturing systems. These necessities have been considered from different perspectives and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the most popular and effective one. However, considering rapid rate of manufacturing globalization, traditional and current CIM solutions can be criticized by major deficiencies like high complexity for resource allocation over the globe, global facility sharing, and absence of an efficient way to handle lifecycle issues. Recently, Virtual CIM (VCIM) has been introduced as an effective solution to extend the traditional CIM solutions. This paper has investigated recent researches in VCIM/CIM field considering the necessities of todays' globalized manufacturing environment. The paper shows the lack of traditional and current CIM/VCIM solutions; then, proposes an effective solution to cover them. Because of the complexities in designing such systems, the paper exploits Axiomatic Design (AD) Theory as a promising tools in this field. This theory is applied for validation of the suggested architectural solution and verification of the implementational aspects. The implementation of the architectural solution is considered based on ISO standards. Finally, the results have approved the feasibility of the suggested solution for manufacturing system and its Implementation aspects.

Digital Twin Driven Green Performance Evaluation Methodology of Intelligent Manufacturing: Hybrid Model Based on Fuzzy Rough-Sets AHP, Multistage Weight Synthesis, and PROMETHEE II

“…SW 1∘2 and SW 3 are synthesized in the same way, and their synthesized weight vector is obtained as SW 1∘2∘3 . According to the process of subjective weight synthesis stage shown in Figure 1, the synthesized subjective weight vector can be obtained in the end as follows:…”

“…With the invention and application of atomic energy and electronic computer technology, the third industrial revolution appeared. In the same period, terms representing new manufacturing paradigms such as flexible manufacturing cells (FMCs) [1], flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) [2], computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) [3], and intelligent manufacturing system (IMS) [4] are emerging gradually. After more than 40 years of development and progress, intelligent manufacturing has gradually evolved from concept to industrialization and integrated into the emerging fourth industrial revolution.…”

Equilibrial service composition model in Cloud manufacturing (ESCM) based on non-cooperative and cooperative game theory for healthcare service equipping

“…Specialized and customized demands can be better satisfied based on the flexible and fast-reaction nature of a CMS (Wang & Xu, 2013b). Manufacturing Cloud Service (MCS) is the self-contained, configurable, and on-demand manufacturing service package comprise of the manufacturing resources and manufacturing capabilities for fulfilling consumer's needs based on the CMS (Wang & Xu, 2013b;Delaram & Valilai, 2018a;Valizadeh et al, 2019;Valizadeh, Fatahi Valilai & Houshmand, 2020). The problem of Optimal Service Selection and Composition is categorized among the hardest problems in combinatorial optimization as an NP-hard problem (Fontanini & Ferreira, 2014;Jula, Sundararajan & Othman, 2014;Li, Yao & Zhou, 2016;Zhou & Yao, 2017c).…”

A novel framework for storage assignment optimization inspired by finite element method

“…Warehouses and distribution centers play an important role in supply chains of companies. Considering the Information Technology impact on bringing out new business models, the expectations from the warehouses have been changed for enabling more agility and dynamic (Delaram & Valilai, 2016;Delaram & Valilai, 2018b;Delaram & Valilai, 2019). In order to optimize the design and reduce operational costs, many operating warehouse companies have invested on automated operations and many academicians have conducted wide variety of research studies (Houshmand & Valilai, 2013;Valilai & Houshmand, 2014).…”
