Representation of energy efficiency interdependencies of manufacturing processes on the shop floor level

The goal of this article is to present the conceptual model of RFID technology integration with manufacturing information and control system. Offered ideas are motivated to achieve seamless connection between automatic identification of parts on the shop floor level and CAD/CAM/MES and ERP system. The mentioned connection could be accomplished by use of RFID technology to transfer data from shop floor level into MES environment. Modern CAD/CAM systems such as NX provide wide possibilities for generating electronic reports, such as operation lists, setup instruction, tool report, according to own customization. Therefore, the process of shop floor documentation creation in html format is described in this paper as well.

Optimization Of Cutting Parameters

Manufacturing processes are among the most energy intensive on earth. As negative ecological and economic impacts increase, reducing energy consumption is becoming critically important. In this article, a comprehensive overview of energy-saving strategies and opportunities for increasing energy efficiency in manufacturing operations is presented, with a focus on metal cutting processes. The issues and approaches involved in energy efficiency of machine tools and machining operations are reported in the literature and a structured research methodology is proposed for this purpose including prediction and modelling of machine energy consumption, determining the relationship between process energy consumption and process variables for material removal processes and optimization of cutting parameters in order to reduce energy consumption. Numerous techniques for increasing energy efficiency in manufacturing processes are identified and summarized, strengths and weaknesses of previous studies are discussed and potential avenues for future research are suggested.

The energy consumption for manufacturing processes is the largest impact contributor in various characterization categories, based on the assessment of environmental effects during the whole life cycle. It is necessary to investigate the manufacturing processes in depth to find out mechanism that can improve energy efficiency. This paper presents a comprehensive overview on two important aspects of energy consumption models for manufacturing processes: 1) two data collection methods: top-down and bottom-up; 2) two process-based analytical methods: thermodynamic model (including energy flow analysis and exergy analysis), and mechanical model. These models can improve energy efficiency.
