Manufacturing systems are changing its structure and organisation. Supply chain are evolving to more coupled organisations, like virtual enterprises, though maintaining the single entities autonomy, adaptability and dynamism properties. Such organisations are very different, which imply organisational and technological shift through agility, distribution, decentralisation, reactivity and flexib...

The research on manufacturing information integration in PLM calls for a new fundamental information technology to enable adaptive information representation and exchange between manufacturing applications. Four major problems are studied, including interchangeable common data representation, management of information access, information reuse, and disturbance reflection of information change. ...

Intensifying globalization and market competition has been driving the manufacturing industry to compete on continual reduction in lead-time and cost of product development while assuring high quality and wide varieties. Conventional manufacturing processes are, however, no longer sufficient to speed up product development to meet ever-increasing diversities of customer demands, stringent cost ...

Virtual Manufacturing is a concept of executing manufacturing processes in computer environment as well as in the real word. This paper deals with the NC programming verification processes. It describes the main levels of simulation tasks. The second part of this paper focuses on the object oriented modelling and simulation architecture for simulation of NC machining operation. In this area som...

Manufacturing firms are forced to devise in new information systems and more intensive methods for both products design and processes development in a totally changed modern manufacturing environment. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) system is more attractive and useful for survival of a manufacturing company in quickly changing marketplaces [1]. The use of CIM systems requires a large n...

My research goal is to develop application-driven geometric algorithms for computer aided design and manufacturing that are provably correct in theory and robust in practice. Much of my current work has the theme of visibility, accessibility, and/or interference analysis, with applications in parallel CAD evaluation, design for manufacturing for casting and injection molding, virtual design env...

Prevalent area of exploitation of CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) systems is computer aided program creating for NC production equipment. However, CAM systems do not sufficiently cover all periods of production process and due to this, the necessity to define the systems of Computer Aided Manufacturing Engineering CAME is obvious. Augmented Reality (AR) mixes virtual world with the actual wo...

Manufacturing systems are changing its structure and organisation. Supply chain are evolving to more coupled organisations like virtual enterprises, though maintaining the single entities autonomy, adaptability and dynamism properties. Such organisations imply organisational and technological shift through agility, distribution, decentralisation, reactivity and flexibility. New organisational a...

Manufacturing agility is the ability to prosper in an environment characterized by constant and unpredictable change. The purpose of this paper is to analyze team attributes necessary to facilitate agile manufacturing, and using Balance Theory as a framework, it evaluates the potential positive and negative impacts related to these team attributes that could alter the balance of work system ele...
