The objective of this research is to develop methodology and framework for distributed shop floor planning, real-time monitoring, and remote device control supported by intelligent sensors. An intelligent sensor serves runtime data from bottom up to facilitate high-level decision-making. It assures that correct decisions are made in a timely manner, if compared with the best estimations of engineers. Being an adaptive system, a so-designed framework will improve the flexibility and dynamism of shop floor operations, and provide a seamless integration among process planning, resource scheduling, job execution, process monitoring, and device control. This paper presents principles of the methodology, details in architecture design, module interactions, information flow, and a proof-of-concept prototype implementation.

Production Planning and Control (PPC) does not only play an important role in the classical field of production. Concerning a trend to more customer related products and a so called buyers market, also the not yet strongly automated businesses have to think about topics like PPC. By forming a new automated shop floor in a commercial kitchen for example, new optimization criteria in the PPC play a crucial role. Especially in the manner of scheduling jobs different constraints concerning the handled products come up. This paper demonstrates a possibility to extend the criteria of PPC with the subjective parameter of product quality. This approach allows influencing an oven-control to reach the best product quality in its processing.

Abstract Many progressive companies have adopted Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) strategy by interfacing drawing and design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), production planning and Control (PPC, MRPII), inspection and customer services as well as business and management processes. This paper concentrates on aspects of integrating CAD with CAM and offers an example of how CAD information can be transformed into CAM data for given manufacturing operations. The paper pays special references to the basis of many CAD and CAM systems and offers an integrated system which uses a single data base to produce the manufacturing files required enabling the costing based on materials used and manufacturing processes required as well as inspection processes and marketing requirements to be carried out.

SUMMARYThe goal of manufacturing system development today is the integration of basic production elements to suit a variety of industrial and shop floor requirements. This may seem an awesome goal, but the authors suggest that careful assessment of requirement at each level and an appreciation of the true level of complexity needed at each level for control purposes, systematic integration will be possible as products become commercially available.Six levels of integration can be defined for robot-based applications: Level 1 - the single robot application level Level 2 - the system with robots working in teams Level 3 - the combination of different robot systems Level 4 - the combination of feeding work automatically to islands of automation from fully automated warehouses. Level 5 - the integration of planning and control functions Level 6 - the integration of CAD based design functions.The approach to integration and the level to which it extends will to a large extent be determined by a company's objective, present computer capacity, general production capability and availability of appropriate flexible automation products and systems for use in a given industrial environment. This paper examines the global needs of hierarchical integration, the level of control needed and the implication of VAL-II to this end.

Energiemanagementsysteme unterstützen den Prozess zur kontinuierlichen Verbesserung der energiebezogenen Leistung. Im fortwährenden Kreislauf aus Analyse, Planung und Controlling befindet sich insbesondere die Planung künftiger Energieverbräuche im Spannungsfeld der Alternativen zwischen erheblichem Aufwand einerseits oder mangelnder Aussagekraft andererseits. Der Fachbericht stellt verschiedene Ansätze zur Verbrauchsplanung vor und bewertet diese mit Blick auf ihre Praktikabilität.   Energy management systems support the process of continuous improvement of energy consumption. In the ongoing cycle of analysis, planning and control, especially the planning of future energy consumption is torn between two alternatives that either involve a considerable amount of effort or provide little informational value. The following article introduces various approaches of planning energy consumption and evaluates them in terms of practicability.
