Strategies and Devices for a Modular Desktop Factory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first part of the paper describes different concepts for micro production. The potential of miniaturised size adapted robots is pointed out based on their flexibility. Flexibility thereby is discussed in a detailed way that leads to two different ways of robot integration. The second part of the paper deals with the desktop factory concept. Beginning with a short state of the art for desktop factories, the preconditions for future concepts are discussed. Finally, with regard to a module for a desktop factory, the miniaturised precision robot Parvus, a micro gripper, a gripper changer and a robot control are presented.

Architectures and Interfaces for a Micro Factory Concept
So far the desktop manufacturing is mainly done as islands of process modules or in some seldom cases the desktop factory is created in form of manufacturing line. Tampere University of Technology has been working on such desktop factory concepts for years and come out a microFactory concept (TUT-μF). The paper discusses architectural aspects and proposes some solutions for them. It specifies a...
متن کاملStrategy-aligned fuzzy approach for market segment evaluation and selection: a modular decision support system by dynamic network process (DNP)
In competitive markets, market segmentation is a critical point of business, and it can be used as a generic strategy. In each segment, strategies lead companies to their targets; thus, segment selection and the application of the appropriate strategies over time are very important to achieve successful business. This paper aims to model a strategy-aligned fuzzy approach to market segment ev...
متن کاملEfficient Modular Arithmetic for SIMD Devices
This paper describes several new improvements of modular arithmetic and how to exploit them in order to gain more efficient implementations of commonly used algorithms, especially in cryptographic applications. We further present a new record for modular multiplications per second on a single desktop computer as well as a new record for the ECM factoring algorithm. This new results allow buildi...
