This work presents an approach for the application of artificial intelligence planning techniques to the automatic generation of control sequences for manufacturing systems. These systems have some special features that must be considered in the planning process, but there are difficulties when the usual models of action are used to deal with these features. In this work, a specialized interval...

The radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology for automatic identification of items, particularly in supply chain, but it is becoming increasingly important for industrial applications. Unlike barcode technology that detects the optical signals reflected from barcode labels, RFID uses radio waves to transmit the information from an RFID tag affixed to the physical object. In contras...

ion of manufacturing constraints into a set geometric of constraints or design rules for the layout designers to follow have traditionally been foundry’s main method to ensure high probability of correct fabrication of integrated circuits. Typical design rules are constraints on width, spacing or pattern density. Origins of design rules lie various manufacturing steps such as lithography, etch,...

Novelty Detection is an approach to classification that offers advantages over conventional techniques for monitoring high-integrity systems and manufacturing processes: it is not necessary to provide fault data to the system during development. Instead, providing a sufficiently comprehensive model of the system‟s normal behaviour has been formed, deviations from normal working conditions can b...

− De-manufacturing is an entire process of collecting, disassembling, reusing, refurbishing, recycling, and/or disposing products that are obsolete or un-repairable. Designing the products for inexpensive and efficient disassembly enhances the ease of de-manufacturing. Virtual disassembly addresses the difficulty and the methods to disassemble a product in design stage rather than really disass...

A safe and flexible co-operation between robot and operator may be a promising way to achieve better productivity at the manual workplace. Thus, robot assistants can be thought to be clever helpers in manufacturing environments for fetch and carry jobs, assembly, handling, machining, measuring etc. Key components and methods supporting these next generation robot systems are currently under int...

Virtual Reality (VR) provides users advanced visualization and interaction technology for designing, analyzing and exploring complex data. To address the issue of noise in manufacturing environments, we developed a VR-supported method allowing users to explore noise behavior. This method consists of an implementation of acoustic simulation and visualization for both desktop and Cave Automatic V...
