Virtual environments (VEs) are becoming important tools for simulating manufacturing systems. Various virtual environment constructing techniques and toolkits have been devised in recent years. This paper provides an “inside” view of those methods. Based on the insight, a futuristic VE construction approach that aims to integrate manufacturing application knowledge with environment data is prop...

There has been a recent development and explosion of interest among academicians across a wide range of disciplines in the use of virtual Class room. Utilization of the virtual class room as a laboratory experimentation for teaching and learning has increased significantly in recent years as development tools for web based applications have become easier to use and computers have become more ca...

there are  many  definitions  about  economy . according  to  one of  the  famous  accepted  definitions , economic  laws  have  classified  to two  groups. both  of  them  are  influenced  by  social  structure  and  it’s  changes  so  they  are  different  in  various  societies . movement  from  one  society   to  another  happens  due  to “intellectualize” , principal  maximum  production  ...

The design and development of holonic manufacturing systems requires careful, and sometimes risky, decision making to ensure that they will successfully satisfy the demands of an ever-changing market. In this paper, the authors propose a methodology for a holonic manufacturing systems requirement analysis that is based on a virtual reality approach and aimed at assisting designers of such syste...

A Product Oriented Manufacturing System is designed for the manufacture of a product or a family of similar products. POM may be seen as a development of traditional Cellular Manufacturing and tends to involve more than one cell. A POMS may either be physically organized in a single place or be made of distributed manufacturing or servicing units, thus comprising a virtual system. To be efficie...

science and technology world is using computers in different branches as much as possible. virtual reality has variety of application in different engineering fields. simulating softwares increase the accuracy and process speed of analysis. in this research the aim is to use this concept through milling process on cnc machines, so the students can learn objects effectively and eagerly. the appl...

Manufacturing produces real wealth for any country and constitutes the back bone for the service sector. The objective of any organization is to earn profit. Usually the market fixes the selling price of the manufactured components. Unless there is focus on the manufacturing strategy of reducing manufacturing cost, it is very difficult to sustain in this ever competitive world. A suitable manuf...

Nowadays, the industrial sector and specially manufacturing companies, have a huge challenge trying to train the workforce while maintaining up to date with the technology, machinery and manufacturing techniques involved in the production process. For that reason this sector claims for effective, in time and quality, training methodologies that do not interrupt or interfere with the continuous ...

The design of cellular manufacturing system (CMS) involves many structural and operational issues. One of the important CMS design steps is the formation of part families and machine cells which is called cell formation. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to solve a new mathematical model for cell formation in cellular manufacturing systems based on cell utilization concept. The p...
