Digital, Internet‐enabled assembly line and factory modeling
Paul G. RankyDigital, Internet‐enabled assembly line and factory modeling is essential for creating hardware and software independent, model‐driven system designs that can be implemented in a…
Handling production changes online: example using a robotic palletizing system for the automobile glass industry
J. Norberto PiresIn this industrial case study paper the problem of handling production variations online, i.e. during actual production, is addressed. These variations may occur when it is not…
Time‐triggered Ethernet based on IEEE 1588 clock synchronisation
Donal Heffernan, Paula DoyleIn industrial distributed control environments for automation technology, Ethernet network based solutions are gaining prominence in the traditional fieldbus application areas…
Towards Web‐enabled design of modular assembly systems
Niels Lohse, Svetan Ratchev, George ValtchanovThe development of reconfigurable modular production systems is one of the crucial factors for manufacturers to sustain their competitive advantage in areas such as precision…
Controlling an Internet‐enabled arm robot in an open control laboratory
S.H. Yang, X. Zuo, L. YangInternet‐based robotic systems have received much attention in recent years. A number of design issues are essential for designing this new type of robotic systems. This paper…
Internet‐based remote assembly of micro‐electro‐mechanical systems (MEMS)
Yantao Shen, Ning Xi, King W.C. Lai, Wen J. LiThis paper presents our development of a novel Internet‐based E‐manufacturing system to advance applications in micromanipulation and microassembly using an in situ polyvinylidene…
An automated system for the assembly of octree models
H. Medellín, J. Corney, J.B.C. Davies, T. Lim, J.M. RitchieThis paper presents a novel approach for rapid prototyping based on the octree decomposition of 3D geometric models. The proposed method, referred as OcBlox, integrates an octree…
