“…The RBPS module selects the appropriate manufacturing processes for the feature requirements captured from the CAD file by the feature mapping module, as well as testing for machine and tool availability (rules are essentially If-Then statements coded in Jess (Java Expert System Shell)) [12]. Rules can be grouped into the following areas of action [13]:…”

“…Generic rules are used when knowledge base is separated from the inference mechanism, so that the same set of rules may be used with different knowledge bases. The generic set of rules have been implemented in the earlier work on IMPlanenr development as reported in [13]. Those generic rules have been used in the developing milling capability knowledge base as described in this paper.…”

The IMPlanner is an ongoing CAPP software project that enables rapid and detailed process selection of manufacturing processes based on specific details of CAD models such as GD&T requirements and feature recognition. A mapping of the different manufacturing routes possible for a given CAD design are outputted by the software, electing the optimal solution. Previously this software focused mainly on hole making operations however, further research has enabled its expansion towards milling operations.

“…A methodology which generates the complete process plan network for each part and also extracts an optimal process plan in terms of cost and manufacturing time out of it has been developed in [8]. The rule-based system for the selection of appropriate machining processes for a given feature set has been described in [9].…”

“…This action will modify the feature status to process and will assert two new facts in to the working memory: (i) operation end-milling-slotting and (ii) operation side-milling which are two different processes for Steps of rule execution machining the slot with given requirements. Rule-based process selection module has been developed by Sormaz and others [9]. In this development, process selection rules are created in JESS language.…”

This paper reports on a development of featurefocused dynamic routing policy and its evaluation in a flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) simulation framework. The dynamic policy is based on an integrative methodology in which process planning system IMPlanner is integrated with FMS simulation module. IMPlanner's rule-based system process selection system performs knowledge-intensive task of generating alternative processing options for each feature for parts in production plan. Generated alternative routings (process plan network) for each part are utilized in the FMS simulation module such that routing decision in FMS are made on periodic intervals by considering alternative processes for each feature and making decision based on the current system status and performance. The proposed framework has been evaluated in an experimental FMS simulation module, implemented in Arena, in which two performance criteria, machine utilization and WIP, were used to make routing decisions. The feature-focused approach is compared with traditional static decision-making, and its improved performance is demonstrated.

“…It is the main cause of permanent development. The manufacturing process planning is one of the most important action in the domain of the technical production preparation [1,2,3,6,9]. The main goal to achieve during this stage of the technical production preparation is to define the complete structure of the manufacturing process; it means the sequence of the manufacturing operations which have to be applied in order to transform the semi-finished product into the final product which performs all necessary design conditions in relation to surface quality, dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy etc.…”

Abstract. In this paper the hybrid method of manufacturing knowledge representation in the CAPP knowledge based system is presented. In the presented solution the manufacturing knowledge as well as the product design is represented by means of the object method. This paper shows only results obtained at the object design stage (OOD). Currently the scope of decision problems solved by proposed system is limited to axi-symmetric products, but basis on the achievements to date it is thought to develop this system in order to widen the subjected products group. Moreover the detailed description of the inference engine of the CAPP system is given. In the inference engine the two groups of rules were distinguished. In the paper content the examples for each group of rules are shown.
