Review on Paper Cup Manufacturing Process for Industry Automation

Laser Additive Manufacturing Process Planning and Automation

This paper presents a Laser Additive Manufacturing Process Planning (LAMPP) being developed at the University of Missouri-Rolla. The off-line planning recognizes difficult-to-build features from an STL file, selects optimal part orientation and building directions based on the skeleton information of the object geometry, and optimizes the sub-process sequences for deposition and machining. Duri...

A 3D image processing method for manufacturing process automation

Three-dimensional (3D) image processing provides a useful tool for machine vision applications. Typically a 3D vision system is divided into data acquisition, low-level processing, object representation and matching. In this paper, a 3D object pose estimation method is developed for an automated manufacturing assembly process. The experimental results show that the 3D pose estimation method pro...

Business Process: Automation And Optimization Considerations In Hardwood Lumber Manufacturing

Historically, the hardwood lumber natural resource industry has been portrayed as a relatively low-tech industry. Most hardwood sawmills do not adequately consider the potential benefits of information systems enabled applications and solutions to enhance overall yield and efficiency. However, as computer-based technology is implemented across the entire manufacturing process, advanced optimiza...

Process Automation in Semiconductor Manufacturing: Issues and Solutions

While the area of process automation in semiconductor manufacturing has many issues in common with process automation and enactment in business processes, the nature of the semiconductor manufacturing process introduces a number of challenging new issues. Among these issues is the need to not only automate the process but also to continuously control and optimize it. Furthermore the semantics o...
