This paper presents the concepts of the intelligent system for aiding of the module assembly technology. The first part of this paper presents a project of intelligent support system for computer aided assembly process planning. The second part includes a coincidence description of the chosen aspects of implementation of this intelligent system using technologies of artificial intelligence (art...

The generative method is a subject of theoretical and experimental research. Difficulties with its implementation are connected with the lack of formal description of the synthesis of activities constituting the manufacturing process. To overcome the difficulties while developing the huge technological knowledge base, a semigenerative method is often used. In this method the pattern is characte...

A graphical representation schema Updated Petri Nets (UPN) has been developed to model rule based company policy specifications, in the context of computer integrated manufacturing systems. UPN facilitates the modeling of relationships between operations of various related application systems and the database updates and retrievals among all the CIM databases. Based on this representation, a hi...

The electronics computer-aided process-planning (ECAPP) system is a rule-and frame-based generative process-planning system for the assembly of electronic components onto printed circuit boards (or modu-less). ECAPP uses expert process-engineering knowledge, a manufacturing plant's specific process capabilities, and product information from a computer-aided design (CAD) database to generate all...

Classification of engineering parts is very important activity especially in process planning. It is one of important methods utilised in group technology approach for computer aided process planning. The paper deals with methods of classification. Special attention is given to dynamic methods of part grouping as a new method of classification. The dynamic method especially extended possibility...
