Abstract In this paper, a CAD integrated method is proposed for automatic recognition of potential weld locations in large assembly structures predominantly comprised joints. The intention to reduce the total man-hours spent on manually locating, assigning, and maintaining weld-related information throughout product life cycle. utilizes spatial analysis extracted stereolithographic data combination with available functions determine whether accessibility surrounding given intersection edge...

The culture of product design is shifting from case-by-case development to the Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) paradigm facilitating knowledge sharing and reusing among different stages groups. Semantic Web stack including Ontology Language (OWL) Rule (SWRL) offers promising formats represent data rules for engineering reuse. However, many KBE applications treat ontology-based bases as graph databases, often neglecting reasoning abilities provided by stack. Consequently, rules, especially...

Information technologies grow rapidly nowadays with the advance and extension of computing capabilities. This growth affects several fields, which consume these technologies. Industrial Automation is not an exception. publication describes a general flexible architecture for implementing Manufacturing Execution System (MES) function, can be deployed in multiple industrial cases. These features are achieved by combining flexibility knowledge-driven systems vendor-independent property RESTful...

For effective human–robot collaborative assembly, it is paramount to view both robots and humans as autonomous entities in that they can communicate, undertake different roles, not be bound pre-planned routines task sequences. However, with very few exceptions, most of recent research assumes static pre-defined roles during collaboration centralised architectures devoid runtime communication influence responsibility execution. Furthermore, from an information system standpoint, lack the...

Application of semantic Web services (SWS) relies on ontologies which model existing explicit knowledge in problem domain. Adaptation SWS to manufacturing industries rises a number important questions among is the separation responsibilities between different vendors starting from system component manufacturers and ending with user. This paper gives possible solution settle these describes architecture for orchestration services.

Abstract Accommodating frequent product changes in a short period of time is challenging task due to limitations the contemporary engineering approach design, build and reconfigure automation systems. In particular, growing quantity diversity manufacturing information, increasing need exchange reuse this information an efficient way has become bottleneck. To improve process, digital Product, Process Resource (PPR) modelling are considered very promising compress development cost by enabling...

In order to cope with today's market uncertainties, manufacturing is required rapidly adapt and react changes unpredictable scenarios. These are currently among the main research development topics in reveal new approaches methodologies achieve these goals. The Industrial Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) created IEC 61499 (function block) standard. This standard proposes an open architecture for distributed industrial-process measurement control systems (IPMCS). defines basic concepts...

The aim of the paper is to review trends on low-cost open-source Internet Thing (IoT) in Framework Industry 4.0.

The highly dynamic environments imposed by reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) present a challenge for achieving fully automated reconfiguration. Of special interest are the situations in which new modular equipment is added to production lines or existing fails, since this calls human intervention and long delays. By integrating concept of service-oriented architecture (SOA) through Web services (WS) into factory automation domain it possible abstract encapsulate functionality...

Human operators play an important role especially in high added value manufacturing. The use of knowledge representation for decision making at runtime becomes more important.
