Today’s businesses continually search for ways to increase productivity. To achieve this goal, shorter product development cycles and shorter manufacturing times are required. In both cases, problems that may arise during development must be identified much faster. In product development, this is done using virtual prototypes that can be easily duplicated and shared between everyone involved. I...

This paper reviews some of the most recently reported research into challenges and leading innovations in intelligent manufacturing for the Factories of the Future (FoF). Such research can be categorised as addressing five broad topic areas: manufacturing systems frameworks, theories and models; the pervasiveness of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs); the critical role of semantic technologies and i...

The aim of the contribution is to create an event-controlled simulation automated production system using selected software according analyses and creation PLC control program compatible with human-machine interface (HMI) visualization. programmer can test without need for additional hardware on a virtual model machine. This method called as Virtual Commissioning method. question whether these ...

Manufacturing systems are changing its structure and organisation. Supply chain are evolving to more coupled organisations, like virtual enterprises, though maintaining the single entities autonomy, adaptability and dynamism properties. Such organisations are very different, which imply organisational and technological shift through agility, distribution, decentralisation, reactivity and flexib...

Manufacturing systems are changing its structure and organisation. Supply chain are evolving to more coupled organisations like virtual enterprises, though maintaining the single entities autonomy, adaptability and dynamism properties. Such organisations imply organisational and technological shift through agility, distribution, decentralisation, reactivity and flexibility. New organisational a...

In this research paper cellular manufacturing is discussed under conditions of changing product demand. Traditional cell formation procedures ignore any changes in demand over time from product redesign and other factors. However given that in today‟s business environment, product life cycles are short, a framework is proposed that creates a multi-period cellular layout plan including cell rede...
