Framework of Computer Aided One-of-a-Kind Production System

The relevance of the study is in the solution of an important problem – the improvement of the development of engineering procedures for producing goods within the production systems of conventional machine-building enterprises performing the transition to automation and intellectualization of their production cycle. To solve the above-stated task, the authors propose an innovative approach involving the development of efficient manufacturing procedures of producing goods by a multiproduct production system based on making effective project technology solutions. The suggested method of designing effective manufacturing procedures for producing goods by a multiproduct production system is implemented in the System of Computer-Aided Planning of Manufacturing Procedures developed by the authors. The System of Computer-Aided Planning of Manufacturing Procedures is a modern tool for automation of engineering process preparation corresponding to the relevant concept of production digitalization. The set of monitoring and measuring procedures developed by the authors and promoting the improvement of the System of Computer-Aided Planning of Manufacturing Procedures is aimed at the modernization of machining productions with the traditional production cycle and supporting their digital transformation process. The set of monitoring and measuring procedures performs the automated designing of efficient individual manufacturing procedures within a small-series production based on the information about actual dimensional parameters of the part blank surfaces at the initial stage of creation of a manufacturing procedure and based on the integration into the manufacturing procedure structure of an efficient set of monitoring and measuring tools formed on the base of the complex of monitoring and measuring procedures to evaluate the prescribed accuracy of part production. The paper presents methodological and algorithmic provisions of implementing complex of monitoring and measuring procedures, which include the development of the technique of the parts’ coordinate metrology serving as a structural element of an efficient manufacturing procedure and the algorithm of formation of the efficient set of monitoring and measuring tools when designing efficient manufacturing procedure.

A Computer-aided Production System for Mass Customization in FashionIn order to meet the demands of the market, a computer-aided production system for mass customization in fashion is proposed. The system enables the automation of dimension collection, pattern generation and fabric cutting. By integrating the system with the processes of garment sewing, fitting test and final adjustment, mass customization can be realized in the apparel industry. For the manufacturers, the efficiency of the supply chain can be improved by reducing human efforts, costs, and production time. For the customers, better fitness with faster delivery stimulates the desire of purchase and enhances their satisfaction.

Dimensional Reconstruction

Structurally-oriented biologists examine cells, tissues, organelles and macromolecules in order to gain insight into cellular and molecular physiology by relating structure to function. The understanding of these structures can be greatly enhanced by the use of techniques for the visualization and quantitative analysis of three-dimensional structure. Three projects from current research activities will be presented in order to illustrate both the present capabilities of computer aided techniques as well as their limitations and future possibilities.The first project concerns the three-dimensional reconstruction of the neuritic plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. We have developed a software package “Synu” for investigation of 3D data sets which has been used in conjunction with laser confocal light microscopy to study the structure of the neuritic plaque. Tissue sections of autopsy samples from patients with Alzheimer's disease were double-labeled for tau, a cytoskeletal marker for abnormal neurites, and synaptophysin, a marker of presynaptic terminals.

Simultaneous Visualization

The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton is necessary for many of the polarized functions of hepatocytes. Among the functions dependent on the MT-based cytoskeleton are polarized secretion of proteins, delivery of endocytosed material to lysosomes, and transcytosis of integral plasma membrane (PM) proteins. Although microtubules have been shown to be crucial to the establishment and maintenance of functional and structural polarization in the hepatocyte, little is known about the architecture of the hepatocyte MT cytoskeleton in vivo, particularly with regard to its relationship to PM domains and membranous organelles. Using an in situ extraction technique that preserves both microtubules and cellular membranes, we have developed a protocol for immunofluorescent co-localization of cytoskeletal elements and integral membrane proteins within 20 µm cryosections of fixed rat liver. Computer-aided 3D reconstruction of multi-spectral confocal microscope images was used to visualize the spatial relationships among the MT cytoskeleton, PM domains and intracellular organelles.
