Integration in Manufacturing which allows to make more efficient the plant operation through a rationalised automation involving not only the control but also the maintenance and the technical management islands, is not yet the reality despite the increasing of Information Technology capabilities. Indeed the industrial ways of thinking are changing slowly because they require standardised solut...

In this paper, an investigation of the characteristics of computerised maintenance management systems (CMMSs) is carried out to highlight the need for them in industry and identify their current deficiencies. A proposed model provides a decision analysis capability that is often missing in existing CMMSs. The proposed model employs a hybrid of intelligent approaches. This hybrid system is analo...

Abstract To improve the inspection efficiency of free-form surfaces using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), this paper proposes a CMM path optimization method based on an improved ant colony optimisation algorithm. The composition and its mathematical model are first analysed, then algorithm is applied to minimize objective function. address problem that has difficulty jumping out local opt...

An experiment was conducted to examine the validity of freely available photo-based 3D scanning software for generating accurate 3D geometry of a vehicle. Currently, 3D vehicle geometry is routinely captured using total station survey equipment, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), laser scanning, or traditional point-based photogrammetry. While these methods produce sufficiently accurate resul...

Sequence labeling has wide applications in natural language processing and speech processing. Popular sequence labeling models suffer from some known problems. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are generative models and they cannot encode transition features; Conditional Markov models (CMMs) suffer from the label bias problem; And training of conditional random fields (CRFs) can be expensive. In this...

The Defence Conceptual Modelling Framework (DCMF) is the Swedish Defence Research Agency’s (FOI) proposal to deal with conceptual modelling in the military domain. The vision of the DCMF is to enable composability, interoperability and reuse of knowledge for modelling and simulation. The final products, the conceptual models, are called Mission Space Models (MSMs), following the original CMMS p...

The article proposes to balance processes with non-rhythmic flow-lines according the period of work execution use complex mechanized machines (CMM). An increase in deployment flow-line and downtime non-critical works calculated by Critical Path Method requires development optimization methods reduce construction period. We proposed a hypothesis equalize rhythms due redistribution volumes on int...
