Intelligent Integration of Product Design to Production Devices

摘要

The integration of manufacturing design knowledge with live production data in composite services improves the ability for manufacturing lines to reconfigure and recover from errors. By using manufacturing design knowledge captured as ontologies planning level faults on assembly lines and conflicts in between product design and line can be automatically identified. In addition by using embedded Web Services (WSs) production process errors and/or faults can be fed from the line into more complex and knowledge based services to aid error recovery and line reconfiguration. This approach allows more targeted alerts and reports of failures, empowering the production operative and allowing more problems to be solved at the source of origination, thus improving efficiency.
