Deriving a Systematic Approach to Changeable Manufacturing System Design

Integrated Ontologies in Support of Factory Systems Design

“…1 shows a modifiable factory system design procedure, which emphasizes a synchronization process as the first step of the factory design method. The step 1 includes product design, processing planning and assembly design (Francalanza et al, 2014).…”

“…Although there is a gap between research and practice, it's been shown that academic research in semantic technologies has enhanced the productivity of some industries (Francalanza et al, 2014). Semantic modelling can improve information classification and management to enhance product design knowledge.…”

Sustainable production in emerging markets through Distributed Manufacturing Systems (DMS)

“…Such changeable manufacturing systems are able to make anticipatory adjustments in addition to reactive interventions (Westk€ amper et al, 2000). In designing changeable manufacturing systems it is critical to design the manufacturing system by considering the requirements of the reconfiguration life phase (Francalanza et al, 2014). Due to the novel technical possibilities in additive manufacturing (3D-Printing-Technology), the topic of cloud manufacturing recently arose (Helo et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2013) in combination with distributed manufacturing.…”

Framework to Implement Collaborative Robots In Manual Assembly: A Lean Automation Approach

“…The basis of this paradigm is the argument that, from a system theory perspective, manufacturing systems can be modelled as complex technical systems [16]. Later, many researchers have used product-design-theories for manufacturing-system-design, thus strengthening the Fig.…”

“…The process starts with identification of the problem and gradually reaches to the stage where a definite design is achieved. In a later research Francalanza [16] used the engineering product design cycle by Roozenburg and derived a systematic approach to design changeable manufacturing systems.…”
