Intelligent production monitoring and control for mass customization of automated manufacturing cells in the automotive industry

چکیده
The automotive industry is distinguished by regionalization and customization of products. As consequence, the diversity of products will increase while the lot sizes will decrease. Thus more product types have to be handled along the process chain and common production paradigms will failure. Hence, Rapid Manufacturing (RM) will be used for manufacturing small individual lot sizes. Nevertheless, new solution for joining and assembling these components are needed. In this paper will be presented an approach for an intelligent production system for mass customized applications. The concept is based on three interlinked main modules: a technology data catalogue (TDC), an automated scheduling processor based on graph theory and a central programmable automation controller (PAC) for real-time sensor/actor communication. The concept will be proved in a laboratory set-up with distinct assembly and joining processes and will be experimentally validated in research and development projects.
