Book Description
This report describes prototype software for automatically generating control programs for discrete manafacturing processes from a high-level description of the system control logic. The control logic is synthesized from a specification of the physical resource states required for each operation in the process. The software described in this report allows the user to specify interactively the operation sequencing logic and the actuators and sensors for each stage of the process. This information is then used to automatically generate code for on-line control computers. The current implementation supports binary sensor and actuator signals. The methodology is illustrated for the automatic generation of instruction list code to control a conveyor system in an existing robotic assembly plant. Keywords: menu; user manuals.

Computer control of flexible manufacturing systems

Pages : 490
Book Description
With the approach of the 21st century, and the current trends in manufacturing, the role of computer-controlled flexible manufacturing an integral part in the success of manufacturing enterprises. will take Manufacturing environments are changing to small batch (with batch sizes diminishing to a quantity of one), larger product variety, produc tion on demand with low lead times, with the ability to be 'agile.' This is in stark contrast to conventional manufacturing which has relied on economies of scale, and where change is viewed as a disruption and is therefore detrimental to production. Computer integrated manufac turing (CIM) and flexible manufacturing practices are a key component in the transition from conventional manufacturing to the 'new' manu facturing environment. While the use of computers in manufacturing, from controlling indi vidual machines (NC, Robots, AGVs etc.) to controlling flexible manu facturing systems (FMS) has advanced the flexibility of manufacturing environments, it is still far from reaching its full potential in the environment of the future. Great strides have been made in individual technologies and control of FMS has been the subject of considerable research, but computerized shop floor control is not nearly as flexible or integrated as hyped in industrial and academic literature. In fact, the integrated systems have lagged far behind what could be achieved with existing technology.

Intelligent Manufacturing:
Author: William A. Gruver
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 144712023X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Intelligent Manufacturing is part of the Advanced Manufacturing Series edited by Professor D.T. Pham of the University of Wales, College of Cardiff. This publication exposes the major issues associated with programming environments for manufacturing and illustrates specific software systems developed for industrial application. Clear and concise statements are made on the state-of-the-art and recent trends in manufacturing languages and programming environments. The book discusses the diverse approaches that are currently under consideration in North America and Europe. It gives the reader an understanding of how manufacturing languages can be used to integrate computer controlled machines and intelligent sensors in automated manufacturing systems including machine tools, robots, inspection and material handling equipment.
