Productivity of Paced Parallel-Serial Manufacturing Lines With and Without Crossover
نویسندگان
چکیده
The productivity of a manufacturing system is greatly influenced by the configuration of the manufacturing system. This paper examines the importance of configuration on productivity, and the improvements that can be obtained by bufferless parallel-serial configurations, i.e. multiple machining lines in parallel, both with and without crossover between the operations. Combinatorial algebraic models are developed to quantify the productivity of parallel-serial configurations. It is shown that significant improvements to productivity can be obtained by placing operations in parallel, and that there is a synergistic improvement to productivity from having crossover between the operations. @DOI: 10.1115/1.1688372#

An Intelligent Computer Interface Utilizing Parallel Picocontrollers (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The design of an interface unit is described, in which RS232 serial data is converted to latched parallel data on 22 independent lines. The data direction of each line is programmable through the serial port. Two picocontrollers are employed in a parallel processing mode to give the required number of I/O pins, and data on the shared serial line is coded to separate data streams to the individu...
متن کاملDesign Principles for Machining System Configurations
Until recently, mass producers have relied on long serial lines of dedicated machines in order to machine products at high volumes. Today, as the cost of CNC machining centers decreases, more and more highvolume manufacturers are examining the alternative of shorter lines with more machines configured in parallel. This paper presents the main principles for selecting the right machining system ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a High Speed Systolic Serial Multiplier and Squarer for Long Unsigned Integer Using VHDL
A systolic serial multiplier for unsigned numbers is presented which operates without zero words inserted between successive data words, outputs the full product and has only one clock cycle latency. 
The multiplier is based on a modified serial/parallel scheme with two adjacent multiplier cells. Systolic concept is a well-known means of intensive computational task through replication of fu...
