چکیده

The ramp-up process of assembly systems has a huge impact on both the productivity of those systems and the quality of the output. In this work we present a new technique for accelerating the ramp-up process by automatically capturing knowledge about a machine and subsequently reusing it to inform an engineer performing ramp-up. This technique relies on a novel process called the Knowledge Object Algorithm. The technique is explained and demonstrated using synthetic data, designed to emulate a typical use case of such a system. The future direction for this work is also outlined and further experiments detailed.

Continuous Failure Diagnosis for Assembly Systems using Rough Set Approach

Increasingly, companies require faster ramp-up in order to cope with shorter production cycles and greater demand for product variety. Since quality and dimensional problems are one of the major reasons for delay during ramp-up, rapid diagnosis of dimensional failures is of critical concern. Given the lack of historical data and incomplete process knowledge in ramp-up, a Rough Set based diagnos...

Key Performance Indicators for the Impact of Cognitive Assembly Planning on Ramp-Up Process

Within the ramp-up phase of highly automated assembly systems, the planning effort forms a large part of production costs. Due to shortening product lifecycles, changing customer demands, and therefore an increasing number of ramp-up processes, these costs even rise. So assembly systems should reduce these efforts and simultaneously be flexible for quick adaption to changes in products and thei...

Diamondoids and DNA Nanotechnologies

Diamondoids are cage-like saturated hydrocarbons consisting of fused cyclohexane rings. The Diamondoids family of compounds is one of the best candidates for molecular building blocks (MBBs) in nanotechnology to construct organic nanostructures compared to other MBBs known so far. The challenge is to find a route for self-assembly of these cage hydrocarbons and their applications in the bottom-...
