CAD-Based Feature Recognition for Process Monitoring Planning in Assembly

Process understanding and process monitoring are of great importance in production order to control processes guarantee a high quality. Demanding customer requirements with an increasing number variants pose even greater challenge the quality processes, as this must be maintained at highest level event changes. In addition, new regulations standards require data recorded stored, especially manufacturing environments for medical safety equipment (e.g., surgical instruments, camera systems automotive industry). Continuous variations changes products system mean that planning effort required implement has become vast. This is where automated decision support important. They able manage complexity arising from alternative solutions present suitable alternatives user. article deals computer-aided identification assembly features, which influence generation system-neutral tasks monitoring. Computer-aided feature recognition methods were used derive features three-dimensional models. Furthermore, skill-based approach was formulate publication thus aims product-specific
