CAPP System Based on Web and Successive Case Reasoning

摘要

Aiming at practical demands of manufacturing enterprises to the CAPP system in the Internet age, the CAPP model is presented based on Web and featured by open, universality and intelligence. A CAPP software package is developed with three layer structures (the database, the Web server and the client server) to realize CAPP online services. In the CAPP software package, a new process planning method called the successive case-based reasoning is presented. Using the method, process planning procedures are divided into three layers (the process planning, the process procedure and the process step), which are treated with the successive process reasoning. Process planning rules can be regularly described due to the granularity-based rule classification. The CAPP software package combines CAPP software with online services. The process planning has the features of variant analogy and generative creation due to adopting the successive case-based reasoning, thus improving the universality and the practicability of the process planning.
