This paper deals with the idea of developing new philosophies for the reliability assessment of additive layer manufacturing (ALM) parts. ALM is a disruptive new manufacturing method by which components are created adding material layer after layer, allowing for the design and production of complex geometries, unthinkable with the use of traditional subtractive machining methods. Thinking ALM means...
Additive Manufacturing, or 3D printing, is moving from the research labs and into both consumer and commercial manufacturing markets. As the systems, processes and materials available are becoming more mature we are seeing them being tested for new application areas such as electronics. In this paper we review how fused deposition modelling (FDM) is being explored for creating microwave circuits and...
CAM systems are most widespread way to create cnc programs. Possibility of optimization, simulation of machining, shorter lead time, and flexibility are biggest benefits. Some of most used CAM systems are GibbsCam, PowerMill, AlphaCam, Surfcam, and Edgecam. Next article shows making of NC program in Edgecam. Edgecam was chosen because is user friendly and simple programs can be created without deeper...
One of the most important issues in technology management at manufacturing companies is to realize “process innovations” that will improve current activities and business processes in order to produce high-quality, low-cost products, systems, infrastructures and services with a short lead time by fully utilizing manufacturing technologies. Design for manufacturability (DFM) is one of the effective...
In this study, we considered to produce a multiproduct in line production by using Kanban System for improving Bottleneck Problem. We propose a Pull System and a Kanban System for quality developing and material replenishment. It is a part of JIT (Just-In-Time) through the process flow at manufacturing. We developed to smooth of flow of product at the Bottleneck point by using the withdrawal Kanban...
Material distribution in discrete manufacturing workshop suffers from a bottleneck of capturing and collecting real-time field information. Without up-to-date information, the staff will be difficult to make accurate decisions. It seems that Real-time locating system (RTLS) is a good solution in the modern manufacturing. Based on the RTLS platform, this paper raises the concept CGV (Coordinate Guided...
Material flow cost accounting (MFCA) is an effective environment management tool which can visualize any waste so as to reduce the waste in the production process. However, cost allocation method of material flow cost accounting adopted in Japan is a little inaccurate and cumbersome for Chinese accountant. This study developed the modified MFCA which divided system and energy cost into those for waste...
This paper discusses the engagement of furniture design with environmental elements and ecological system in design literature. The purpose is to establish a gap in the area of ecological design. A sustained relationship of field study has resulted in two major areas of designs: industrial design (ID) and manufacturing technology design (MT), while one minor field found is business and industrial...
The projected impact of nanotechnology has been touted as a second industrial revolution — not the third, fourth, or fifth—because despite similar predictions for technologies such as computers and robotics, nothing has yet eclipsed the first. Society is undergoing a revolution that will transform the ways in which materials and products are created. How will this revolution develop? The opportunities...
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been widely used in manufacturing sites for supporting the shopfloor management. Huge amount of RFID-enabled production data has been generated. In order to discover invaluable information and knowledge from the RFID big data, it is necessary to cleanse such dataset since there is large number of noises. This paper uses n-dimensional RFID-Cuboids...
This paper provides an overview of current and upcoming requirements for Carrier Logistics and discusses solutions for optimizing the efficiency of capital equipment installed in the fab. An exploration of crucial influencing factors (both on the material handling as well as on the equipment side) will be followed by a discussion of different approaches to the challenges and an assessment of the impact...
Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become a topic of interest for both business leaders and academic researchers alike. Over the last decade or so, the GSCM literature has grown considerably. Although sufficient literature exists about various aspects and facets of GSCM, earlier works and reviews have a limited focus and narrow perspective. This paper presents a comprehensive integrated view...
Semiconductor industry, for more than four decades, has rigorously followed Moore's Law in scaling down the CMOS technologies. Three-dimensional (3D) technology using Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnect is one of the emerging options, considered today as a new paradigm for the semiconductor industry, since it will drive evolution for packages for the coming decades. The industry has enthusiastically...
This paper presents an analysis of the application of material flow control mechanisms at construction sites. Such control mechanisms are widely used in assembly plants to ensure the correct quantity of materials at the correct destination, to maximize the WIP and for various other essential purposes. However the advantages of material flow control mechanisms can be questionable among certain circumstances...
Supply chain management (SCM) is a very challenging problem that us leveraging the e-commerce explosion. Today's supply chains are essentially static, because they rely on long-term relationship among key trading partners. Dynamic practices are vital because they offer better matches between suppliers and customers as market conditions change. Multi-agent systems (MAS) offer new perspectives compared...
The aim of this paper is to see and analyze different product development methodologies specifically on SWET Concept & Green product design Manufacturing. Companies can achieve and be benefited by waste management and material management, saving through the reuse of original product, reduce time to market, reducing human efforts and ecological risks, cost effectiveness, improving process efficiency,...
High flexibility and high speed is the goal for industrial manufacturing using robots. However, it is difficult to put them together due to the fact that they are contradicting with each other. To solve this problem, a new high reconfigurable gripper is proposed for robotic manipulator to improve its flexibility, so that the robot can accomplish an assembly task with shorter time. In this paper, the...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has a profound impact on the mass customization of consumer products. To take advantage of this new manufacturing resource we need to incorporate AM into existing design methodologies. In this paper, we address this need by proposing an AM resource process model for product family design. The proposed model captures the ability of AM to produce arbitrary complex structures...
It was aimed to design an effective and efficient space frame chassis that satisfies the constraints and regulations of Formula SAE. The chassis design must be capable of being constructed from materials and resources available, while also considering other component requirements such as engine, drive train and suspension. This paper is a cognitive overview of CAE tools to design and manufacture a...
