Promoting Model-Based Definition to Establish a Complete Product Definition

August 31, 2016
Author(s)
Shawn P. Ruemler, Kyle E. Zimmerman, Nathan W. Hartman, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Allison Barnard Feeney
Most of the manufacturing and engineering industries, especially aerospace and defense, are evolving and starting to use 3D models as the central knowledge artifact for product data and product definition, or what is known as Model-based Definition (MBD)

DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR INTEGRATED AND COLLABORATIVE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

August 23, 2016
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Paul Witherell, Felipe F. Lopez, Ibrahim Assouroko
Software tools, knowledge of materials and process models, and data provide three pillars on which Additive Manufacturing (AM) lifecycles and value chains can be supported. These pillars leverage efforts dedicated to the development of AM databases, high

A Summary Report on the Model-Based Enterprise Capability Index and Guidebook Workshop

August 22, 2016
Author(s)
Joan Pellegrino, Yannick Tamm, Allison Barnard Feeney, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held a "Model-Based Enterprise Summit" from April 12-14, 2016 with the intention of identifying challenges, research, implementation issues, and lessons learned in manufacturing and quality

Enabling Smart Manufacturing Technologies for Decision-Making Support

August 21, 2016
Author(s)
Moneer M. Helu, Don E. Libes, Joshua Lubell, Kevin W. Lyons, Katherine C. Morris
Smart manufacturing combines advanced manufacturing capabilities and digital technologies throughout the product lifecycle. These technologies can provide decision-making support to manufacturers through improved monitoring, analysis, modeling, and

DRILLING DOWN ON SMART MANUFACTURING -- ENABLING COMPOSABLE APPS

August 16, 2016
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, KC Morris, Simon P. Frechette
One of the most exciting new capabilities in Smart Manufacturing (SM) is the provisioning of manufacturing services as unbundled "apps," which could be significantly more flexible and less expensive to use than the current generation of monolithic

Integrating Top-down and Bottom-up Cybersecurity Guidance using XML

August 1, 2016
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell
This paper describes a markup-based approach for synthesizing disparate information sources, and then discusses a software implementation of the approach. The implementation, developed using XForms and Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)

Dynamic Metrology and ASTM E57.02 Dynamic Measurement Standard

July 28, 2016
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai H. Hong, Mili Shah, Steven Legowik
Optical tracking systems are used in a wide range of fields. The market for optical tracking systems has dramatically increased over the past several years to $1.2B revenue in 2014. This paper describes the new ASTM E3064 Standard test method procedures

Additive Manufacturing: A Trans-disciplinary Experience

July 20, 2016
Author(s)
Paul W. Witherell, Albert W. Jones, Yan Lu
Traditional manufacturing has long permitted disciplines to operate in isolation: with designers, material suppliers, and manufactures often able to function independently towards the singular goal of creating a product. As products have become

Towards a Lifecycle Information Framework and Technology in Manufacturing

July 14, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg, Allison Barnard Feeney, Moneer M. Helu, Jaime A. Camelio
Industry has been chasing the dream of integrating and linking data across the product lifecycle and enterprises for decades. However, industry has been challenged by the fact that the context in which data is used varies based on the function in the

Mobile Manipulator Performance Measurement Towards Manufacturing Assembly Tasks

July 12, 2016
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Sebti Foufou, Steven A. Legowik, Tsai H. Hong
Mobile manipulator performance measurement research is relatively minimal as compared to that of robot arms. Measurement methods, such as optical tracking systems, are useful for measuring the performances of mobile manipulators, although at a much higher

Model-based engineering for the integration of manufacturing systems with advanced analytics

July 10, 2016
Author(s)
David Lechevalier, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Sudarsan Rachuri, Sebti Foufou, Yung-Tsun Lee
To employ data analytics effectively and efficiently on manufacturing systems, engineers and data scientists need to collaborate closely to bring their domain knowledge together. In this paper, we introduce a domain-specific modeling approach to integrate

Implementing the ISO 15746 Standard for Chemical Process Optimization

July 3, 2016
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Peter O. Denno, Albert T. Jones, Yan Lu
Integrating advanced process control solutions with optimization (APC-O) solutions, within any factory, enables more efficient production processes. Currently, vendors who provide the software applications that implement control solutions are isolated and

Technical Data Packages (TDPs) from the Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) Test Bed

July 1, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg, Moneer M. Helu, Allison Barnard Feeney
Data is collected from the Manufacturing Lab using the MTConnect standard. That data is aggregated and published internally and externally of NIST via web services. Three channels of data dissemination are available or becoming available from the SMS Test

Survey of Research for Performance Measurement of Mobile Manipulators

June 30, 2016
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai H. Hong, Jeremy A. Marvel
This survey provides the basis for developing research in the area of mobile manipulator performance measurement, an area that has relatively few research articles, as com-pared to other mobile manipulator research areas. The survey begins with a

Promoting Model-Based Definition to Establish a Common Information Model

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Shawn P. Ruemler, Kyle E. Zimmerman, Nathan W. Hartman, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Allison Barnard Feeney
The manufacturing industry is evolving and starting to use 3D models as the central knowledge artifact for product data and product definition, or what is known as Model-based Definition (MBD). The Model-based Enterprise (MBE) uses MBD as a way to

Automating Asset Knowledge with MTConnect

June 27, 2016
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Sid Venkatesh, Sidney Ly, Martin Manning
In order to maximize assets, manufacturers should use real-time knowledge garnered from ongoing and continuous collection and evaluation of factory-floor machine status data. In discrete parts manufacturing, factory machine monitoring has been difficult

Framework for Standardization of Simulation Integrated Production Planning

June 15, 2016
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Guodong Shao, Bjoern J. Johansson
Production planning is a complex problem that is typically decomposed into decisions carried out at different control levels. Production planning methods employed often assume a static environment; therefore, the plans developed may not be feasible if shop
