Integrated control system for electron beam processes

IEC 62264 standard-based manufacturing operations management resource modelling for electron beam welding

“…IEC 62264 [3 -7] is a multi-part standard that defines the interfaces and provides standard models and terminology for enterprise (business) and manufacturing-control activities, functions and systems. The general structure of IEC 62264 standard is presented in [2,8]. The basic information structural elements for enterprise application integration are: Product lifecycle management (PLM), Enterprise resource planning (ERP), Supply chain management (SCM), Customer relationship management (CRM).…”

“…The manufacturing operations are divided into 4 groups: production operations, maintenance operations, quality operations and inventory operations. Each operation is presented with an activity model, defined from a set of activities that are required for manufacturing: definition, scheduling dispatching, resource management, execution, data collection, performance analysis and tracking [2,8]. The manufacturing operation classification coincides with the categories of information exchange between the manufacturing operations and control information (level 3) and business planning and logistic information level (level 4).…”

“…The smart plant, the smart production, and the smart logistics are the integrated key aspects of Industry 4.0 concept [1]. The integrated plant control system consists from several structural elements for application integration: Product lifecycle management (PLM), Enterprise resource planning (ERP), Supply chain management (SCM), Customer relationship management (CRM), and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) [2].…”

“…The development and deployment of a Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) system for electron beam welding aims the integration and organization of the accumulated knowledge for the process, and the application of this knowledge for the improvement of the modelling and control capabilities, their efficiency, adaptability, flexibility and re-configurability, as well as integration with other technological processes [2]. The paper presents the Unified Modelling Language (UML) information modelling of electron beam welding installation as a part of an IEC 62264 standard-based manufacturing operations management system development.…”

Data mining techniques for quality improvement of electron beam welding process

“…The multicriterial optimization tasks, concerning the quality characteristics of welded joints, obtained by electron beam welding (EBW) process, include requirements for the geometry of the molten and/or the heat affected zone (if present), as well as requirements for lack of defects [1] or standard requirements and guidelines [2].…”
