“…They provide for a standard integration and coordination of various machines inside the manufacturing cell (see Fig.2). These classes and their links to the manufacturing cell control as well as the upper levels of the integrated manufacturing environment have already been dealt with in detail in reference [15].…”

This paper describes an object-oriented, general model of a stamping robot. The proposed robot model have the advantages that the management of the manufacturing cell has direct access to the real physical properties of the robot and its control. Thus production planning becomes more reliable and the management can effectively respond to modifications of the robot and its environment.The modeling aims at an improvement of information exchange between these commonly separated levels of the CIM hierarchy. Interactions between both levels are discussed with placing special emphasis on the integration of information related to the physical properties of the robot into the flexible manufacturing cell.With this model a high adaptivity to changing manufacturing situations is achieved.

“…Moreover the object-oriented approach facilitates the inclusion of new knowledge within the robot level. A more detailed description is presented in preference [15]. The robot manipulator is modeled according to three key characteristics: The robot's mechanical properties, its control and the underlying mathematical tools.…”

Evolvable and Reconfigurable Assembly Systems (RAS) enable enterprises to rapidly respond to changes in today's increasingly volatile and dynamic global markets. One of the key success factors for the effective use of RAS is methods and tools that can rapidly configure and reconfigure assembly systems driven by changing requirements. The focus of this paper is the development of a suitable equipment model to support the effective design of reconfigurable assembly systems. The work has been motivated by the need to provide solutions for increasing product customisation and volume changes over the product life-cycle that directly impact on the final product assembly. The paper proposes a comprehensive equipment ontology to enable effective decision-making during the design and evaluation of new RAS configurations. The proposed ontology is based on the function-behaviour-structure paradigm, and is formalised to facilitate its application in distributed web-enabled decision-making environments. The equipment configuration and reconfiguration approach and prototype decision-making environment are illustrated using system design examples.

“…Distributed collaborative design frameworks provide clear advantages for the considered design problem as discussed by Rosenman and Wang (2001) particularly when combined with object and component oriented modelling approaches as are commonly used under the CIM paradigm (Schafer and Lbpez, 1999). We propose to use a distributed knowledge based reasoning approach for the process decomposition and equipment configuration and an agent based framework to facilitate their integration.…”

Abstract:In today's increasingly volatile and dynamic global markets it is mcreasingly important to react to changing market demands and reduce the time-to-market. The design and re-design of assembly systems has a significant impact on the product development time. This paper reports on the effort that has been put into developing an assembly process decomposition and modular assembly equipment configuration methodology that takes advantage of the current trend towards modular equipment solutions and is expected to reduce deslgn time and improve the design process integration. A general framework for the proposed methodology has been outlined and an ontology for the design of modular assembly systems is being discussed.
