Collaborative Design Supporting System for Manufacturing Systems.

Collaborative Design Approach for Holonic Manufacturing Systems

Future manufacturing systems will be required to be agile, flexible, and fault-tolerant. Next generation manufacturing systems will be integrated networks of distributed resources simultaneously capable of combined knowledge processing and material processing. The objective of this research is to define a generic open architecture for such kind of distributed manufacturing systems, especially f...

Collaborative Design System for Supporting Dynamic Virtual Enterprises

Collaborative design provides creative design solutions and improves product quality as well as enriches participants’ knowledge. Nevertheless, design and supply chain integration in product development processes is not a trivial task. The complex scenario of the dynamic extended enterprise triggers research toward the development of an innovative co-design platform to support multidisciplinary...

An automated coding and classification system with supporting database for effective design of manufacturing systems

The philosophy of group technology (GT) is an important concept in the design of flexible manufacturing systems and manufacturing cells. Group technology is a manufacturing philosophy that identifies similar parts and groups them into families. Beside assigning unique codes to these parts, group technology developers intend to take advantage of part similarities during design and manufacturing ...
