The Manufacturing Equipment Support Model Based on the Manufacturing Equipment Role

This work aims to investigate the manufacturing equipment support model for the purpose of improving the efficiency and quality of manufacturing. First, the concept of manufacturing capacity is defined, and the re- lationship between practical and expected manufacturing capacity is described. Then the concept of role is intro- duced and the manufacturing equipment role is defined in detail. Based on the analysis of manufacturing capacity and manufacturing equipment role, the three-stage manufacturing equipment support model is proposed. With this model, the manufacturing task can be decomposed into several manufacturing equipment roles, and the ex- pended manufacturing capacity involved in the manufacturing equipment role can be matched with the practical manufacturing capacity of the enterprise. The measures are discussed depending on different matching degrees.

Coordinating and Evaluating of Multiple Key Performance Indicators for Manufacturing Equipment: Case Study of Distillation Column

Manufacturing equipment takes the task of operation and directly effects on the manufacturing process. One single Key Performance Indicator （KPI） is mainly employed to evaluate equipment in most studies, neither integrating the KPIs into a completed evaluation system nor considering the impact and conflict among KPIs. In this paper, a KPI evaluation architecture is presented to define and analyze KPIs, and then a common structure for KPI to obtain the KPI set of manufacturing equipment is introduced. An available multi-KPl coordination model is proposed to discern and balance the relationship among multi-KPl. Finally, a case study is introduced to illustrate the applicability of the coordination model by using multi-objective optimization strategy and an efficient solution is obtained.

Robotized manufacturing equipment:A review from the perspective of mechanism topology

In recent years,robots have been extensively applied in the establishment of intelligent manufacturing systems.Many robotized manufacturing equipment have been developed,some of which have gained successful applications.A mechanism is the skeleton of a machine that transfers motion and energy.The topology of a mechanism is an important gene that determines the function and performance of a machine.Although several reviews have focused on robotized manufacturing,an up-to-date review of robotized manufacturing equipment from the perspective of mechanism topology is lacking.This motivated us to present a survey about existing robotics structures used in manufacturing equipment.Relevant studies are classified into three types:serial robot-based manufacturing equipment,parallel kinematic machines,and hybrid robot-based manufacturing equipment.The features and performance behaviour of these equipments,as determined by their mechanism topology,are analyzed.In particular,the influences of joint numbers,rotational axes of output motion,actuation schemes,and topological symmetry on equipment performance are discussed to provide insight into the new development of robotized manufacturing equipment,as well as future research directions on this topic.

SHARING AND PLANNING OF DISTRIBUTED EQUIPMENT FOR NETWORKED MANUFACTURING

Efficient utilization of the equipment distributed in different enterprises and optimal allocation of these resources is an important concern for networked manufacturing. The third party based equipment sharing approach is put forward to optimize the utilization of distributed equipment for networked manufacturing; Taking advantage of the shared equipment offered by equipment providers by means of lease agreement, the third party carries out production by establishing networked virtual factory. Operational mechanism of the third party based equipment sharing is discussed, and characteristics of this approach in achieving resource allocation are analyzed. Shared equipment planning is formulated as an optimization problem with the objective of maximizing profits for equipment coordinator, a mathematical model for shared equipment planning is developed. Finally a case study is discussed to show the effectiveness of the planning model.
