Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the most complex and capital-intensive processes composed of several hundreds of operations. In today's competitive business environments, it is more important than ever before to manage manufacturing process effectively to achieve better performances in terms of customer satisfaction and productivity than those of competitors. To obtain such fruitful outco...

This paper presents an approach for modeling an inertial navigation system. This system consists of a 3D acceleration and rotation sensor array, analog and digital error correction, gravitation compensation, supporting point extraction, serial interface and software application. Analogue interfaces are described on lowest abstraction level to allow easy exchange and refinement of components. Mo...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has drawn tremendous attention in various fields. In recent years, great efforts have been made to develop novel additive manufacturing processes such as micro-/nano-scale 3D printing, bioprinting, and 4D printing for the fabrication of complex 3D structures with high resolution, living components, and multimaterials. The development of advanced functional materials ...

This proceedings records advanced technologies & applications in aerospace manufacturing/observation of near space system the Earth/collaborative fusion.

Global competition and rapidly changing customer requirements are forcing major changes in the production styles and configuration of manufacturing organizations. Traditional centralised manufacturing systems are not able to meet such requirements. This paper proposes an agent-based approach for dynamically creating and managing agent communities in such widely distributed and ever-changing man...

We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobsho...
