The specifics of process manufacturing have a great influence on a production management and the focus of production scheduling is to maintain stable production within given constraints. The paper presents a dedicated online algorithm that has been developed with the intention of predicting the adequate starting time for a single new batch in a system consisting of two chemical reactors sharing a...
New automation technologies are introducing important changes in company production organization in all sectors, and particularly, in yarn textile factories. As a result of these changes, the product moves automatically from the point where production begins to the point where it is packed, without human intervention. Thus, the generation of any flaw in the product is not detected in any case, and...
The transfer lines dealt with in this paper are equipped with multifunctional spindle heads, capable to realize several operations in the same time (in parallel) on the same work-piece. Each such multifunctional spindle head is called a block and is fully described by its set of operations, operating time and cost. The reconfigurability concerns here the possibility of realizing a family of products...
This paper outlines the perspectives opened by the application of the service-orientation paradigm for realizing high-level communications between next-generation, increasingly intelligent embedded devices - it indicates how this approach can benefit the manufacturing industry - and outlines the issues and approaches for cohesively coordinating manufacturing services at various levels of the manufacturing...
This paper's main purpose is to present an automatic vision assortment system for cork classification. Cork is a natural material that is used to seal wine bottles due to its reliability and its chemical and mechanic properties. A modular approach isolates the hard real-time sub problems. It includes some custom developed hardware and software. The developed and implemented system acquires images...
