Factory Equipment Network Testing Framework: Concept, Requirements, and Architecture

September 17, 2012
Author(s)
James D. Gilsinn, Kang B. Lee, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Yuyin Song
This document describes the purpose, concept, requirements, and architecture for the Factory Equipment Network Testing (FENT) Framework and the software to test equipment on real-time factory networks. Other documents contain more detailed information

Web-enabled Real-time Quality Feedback for Factory Systems using MTConnect

August 15, 2012
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Byeong Eon Lee, Frederick M. Proctor, Sid Venkatesh
Quality is a key element to success for any manufacturer, and the fundamental prerequisite for quality is measurement. In the discrete parts industry, quality is attained through inspection of parts but typically there is a long latency between machining

Synthesis of Manufacturing and Facility Data for Sustainability Analysis

June 8, 2012
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Guodong Shao, Swee K. Leong, Frank H. Riddick, Jonatan Berglund, Jorge Arinez, Stephan Biller
This paper discusses data synthesis of production and facility knowledge for sustainability analysis by applying the ISA 95 "Activity Models of Manufacturing Operations Management" (MOM) model. Presently, production and facility management are "silo"

Web-enabled, Real-time, Quality Assurance for Machining Production Systems

April 19, 2012
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski
In order to maintain the close control of production quality, frequent measurement and process parameter adjustments are desirable. In the discrete parts industry, part inspection is intended to be a metric for the process quality but quality control is

Energy Efficiency Analysis for a Casting Production System

December 14, 2011
Author(s)
Jonatan K. Berglund, John L. Michaloski, Swee K. Leong, Guodong Shao, Frank H. Riddick, Jorge Arinez, Stephan Biller
A growing number of manufacturing industries are initiating efforts to address sustainability issues. A study by the National Association of Manufacturers indicated that the manufacturing sector currently accounts for over a third of all energy consumed in

PUSH-BUTTON DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATION FOR ANALYSIS OF FACTORY FLOOR OPERATIONS

November 18, 2010
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Byeong Eon Lee, Frederick M. Proctor, Sid Venkatesh, Nils Bengtsson, Anders Skoogh, Benjamin Raverdy
In manufacturing, Discrete Event Simulation (DES) can be effectively used to model production and provide sustainability analysis of equipment and system operation by measuring throughput, capacity, and bottlenecks. DES allows analysis under different

MTCONNECT-BASED KAIZEN FOR MACHINE TOOL PROCESSES

August 18, 2010
Author(s)
Byeong Eon Lee, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Sid Venkatesh, Nils Bengtsson
Kaizen is a part of Lean Manufacturing that focuses on the concept of continuous improvement to reduce waste. For implementing Kaizen on the factory floor, comprehensive and efficient tools for data acquisition, process measurement and analysis are

STEPNC++ - An Effective Tool for Feature-based CAM/CNC

December 1, 2009
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Thomas R. Kramer, Frederick M. Proctor, Xun Xu, Sid Venkatesh, David Odendahl
This chapter discusses the realization of direct translation of feature-based CAM files into feature-based CNC part program files. The information infrastructure that allows this to happen is STEP-NC, as described by ISO 14649 Parts 10 and 11. Among the
