A Framework to Canonicalize Manufacturing Service Capability Models

May 15, 2015
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Yunsu Lee, Nenad Ivezic, Yun Peng
The ability to share precise models of suppliers’ manufacturing service capability (MSC) information is necessary to develop reliable methods that enable Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to efficiently configure agile and responsive supply chains

Navigation Performance Evaluation for Automated Guided Vehicles

May 12, 2015
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai Hong Hong, Geraldine S. Cheok
Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), an industrial form of mobile robot, typically navigate using a central computer commanding AGV movement on predefined paths. Although, how well they follow these paths is less defined in research articles and their

An Areal Isotropic Spline Filter for Surface Metrology

April 1, 2015
Author(s)
Hao H. Zhang, D Ott, Wei Chu
This paper deals with the application of the spline filter as an areal filter for surface metrology. A profile (2D) filter is often applied in orthogonal directions to yield an areal filter for a three-dimensional (3D) measurement. Unlike the Gaussian

ISO TC 184/SC 4 product and manufacturing information (PMI) EXPRESS models

December 1, 2014
Author(s)
Thomas R. Thurman
This document provides product and manufacturing information (PMI) EXPRESS models to be used in ISO 10303-242 edition 2. The models include representations for the following PMI symbology: thread symbols, surface texture symbols, edge condition symbols

Toward Smart Manufacturing Using Decision Guidance Analytics

November 1, 2014
Author(s)
Alexander Brodsky, Mohan Krishnamoorthy, Daniel A. Menasce, Guodong Shao, Sudarsan Rachuri
This paper is focused on decision analytics for smart manufacturing. We consider temporal manufacturing processes with stochastic throughput and inventories. We demonstrate the use of the recently proposed concept of the decision guidance analytics

Feasibility of Integrating OAGIS and BPMN

October 22, 2014
Author(s)
Denis Gagne, Conrad Bock
Engineering and enterprise processes overlap in their concerns, for example, coordinating product design and customer relations. Integration of these processes provides more efficient communication and higher quality results than leaving them separated

Streamlining the Additive Manufacturing Digital Spectrum: A Systems Approach

October 18, 2014
Author(s)
Duck B. Kim, Paul Witherell, Robert R. Lipman, Shaw C. Feng
Additive Manufacturing (AM) provides great potential for industrial manufacturers who require low volume and functional, highly complex end use products. Given AM's potential, numerous research efforts are underway to reduce the time and improve the

A Cybersecurity Testbed for Industrial Control Systems

October 9, 2014
Author(s)
Richard Candell, Keith A. Stouffer, Dhananjay Anand
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a cybersecurity testbed for industrial control systems (ICS). The goal of this testbed is to measure the performance of an ICS when instrumented with cybersecurity protections in

Towards a Domain-Specific Framework for Predictive Analytics in Manufacturing

October 3, 2014
Author(s)
David J. Lechevalier, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Sudarsan Rachuri
Data analytics is proving to be very useful for achieving productivity gains in manufacturing. Predictive analytics (using advanced machine learning) is particularly valuable in manufacturing, as it leads to production improvement with respect to the cost

Toward Manufacturing System Composability Analysis: A Use Case Scenario

September 20, 2014
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Evan K. Wallace, Nenad Ivezic, Yunsu Lee
One of the characteristics of a smart manufacturing system is the ability to quickly adapt to new and changing requirements. This implies that software and hardware components of the manufacturing system need to be easily composed and recomposed. In

XForms User Interfaces for Small Arcane Nontrivial Datasets

August 11, 2014
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell
Small Arcane Nontrivial Datasets (SANDs) are frequently complex enough to warrant custom software for access and editing, yet too small or specialized to justify a fullblown server-based database application. Such data is typically presented in tabular

Safety and Performance Standard Developments for Automated Guided Vehicles

July 23, 2014
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai H. Hong, Roger D. Eastman
The American National Standards Institute/Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation (ANSI/ITSDF) B56.5 Safety Standard committee for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) has been considering several changes to improve the standard. Of interest to the

Standards Related to Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) for Manufacturing

July 7, 2014
Author(s)
Gregory W. Vogl, Brian A. Weiss, M A. Donmez
Prognostics and health management (PHM) systems are utilized to reduce burdensome maintenance tasks of monitored products or processes through diagnostics and prognostics, which provide actionable information that support decision-making for improved
