Development of Autonomous Distributed Manufacturing Systems (adims) Concept and Example of It’s Application in the Casting Industry
نویسنده
چکیده
This research deals with the development of Autonomous Distributed Manufacturing Systems (ADiMS) Concept and an example of its application in the casting industry. ADiMS is a manufacturing system concept developed to increase the flexibility of the system. In ADiMS, each of the manufacturing system elements (holon) had been modelled as an intelligent element with the result that each element had capability to manage information, communicate each other, and to make decision. The whole manufacturing problems are solved by each element and coordination among them. In the modelling at the developed application software, UML (Unified Modelling Language) was used, where each element of manufacturing system was modelled as a class as in the Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concept. As a case study, the development of the concept analysis and application software to manage casting industry, that has a piston ring as its main product, was carried out. The application software that had been developed, that still in a proto type stage, has five main functions that are an order management system, Quality Assurance, Warehouse management, Jig & Fixture Storage Area management, and Sand Casting Area management functions. Inside each function, there are several objects that working together with coordination among each others. The application showed that all main functions can make communication through the database server. The developed application that discussed at this research has a client server technology. The same web-based system with the n-tier technology is still in the development stage now.

New Concept in Leanness Development and Assessment in Plant Life Cycle (PLC)
Abstract: At the last decade of the 20th century, Womack et. Al introduced Lean concept to the industrial world. Since 1990 up to now, existed studies mostly have focused on lean production in the step of manufacturing, but in this research leanness concept has developed in the plant life cycle. In this paper leanness concept will be described as elimination of wastes in the phases of investmen...

متن کاملModeling of Distributed Manufacturing Systems
A production system in the future is required to quickly respond any change happens, that comes from outside the system or generated by the inside elements as well. These requirements will in fact trigger the effort to fulfill the customer needs that varies to the type and amount of the product. A candidate having that ability is called distributed manufacturing system equipped with autonomy fo...

Cloud manufacturing is defined as a relationship between the consumer and a flexible array of production services, managed by an intervening architecture that can match service providers to product and manufacturing processes Cloud manufacturing definitions typically make explicit or imply three groups of actors: consumers, who request and use cloud manufacturing processes; application provider...
متن کاملStudying Dynamic behavior of Distributed Parameter Processes Behavior Based on Dominant Gain Concept and it’s Use in Controlling these Processes
In this paper, distributed parameter process systems behavior is studied in frequency domain. Based on the dominant gain concept that is developed for such studies, a method is presented to control distributed parameter process systems. By using dominant gain concept, the location of open loop zeros, resulted from the time delay parameter in the process model, were changed from the right half p...
