Testing System of IEEE 1451.5-802.11 Standard-based Wireless Sensors

July 21, 2014
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Yuyin Song, Frederick M. Proctor
The hierarchical architecture of factory equipment networks consists of the factory level, cell level, and device level. The equipment at different levels of the factory networks may employ different network communication protocols. The challenges that

Precise Latency Measurement of Unidirectional-Data-Flow Network Equipment

May 14, 2014
Author(s)
I-Chun Chao, Kang B. Lee, Frederick M. Proctor, Chien-Chung Shen, Fan-Ren Chang
In regards to network performance measurements, many timing indices, such as latency, jitter, and one-way delay (OWD), are getting more attention because real-time applications and needs are pushing higher network capabilities. Data latency in a network

Toward the Ideal of Automating Production Optimization

November 15, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Jorge Arinez, Jonatan Berglund
The advent of improved factory data collection offers a prime opportunity to continuously study and optimize factory operations. Although manufacturing optimization tools can be considered mainstream technology, most U.S. manufacturers do not take full

Model Based Enterprise Summit Report

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell, Simon P. Frechette, Robert R. Lipman, Frederick M. Proctor, John A. Horst, Mark G. Carlisle, Paul J. Huang
This report summarizes the presentations, discussions, and recommendations from the Model-Based Enterprise Summit held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in December of 2012. The purpose of the Summit was to identify challenges, research

Toward Better Integration of Vehicle Assembly Production Systems

November 15, 2012
Author(s)
Jorge Arinez, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, William G. Rippey, C J. Yen
In today's manufacturing world, system integration often necessitates composing systems of technology that are not designed to interoperate with each other. This inherent incompatibility results in redundant, non-value added work that is required for

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

An Integrated Data Model for Quality Information Exchange in Manufacturing Systems

July 27, 2012
Author(s)
William G. Rippey, Yaoyao F. Zhao, Thomas R. Kramer, John A. Horst, Frederick M. Proctor
Quality measurement is an integrated part of modern manufacturing systems. As the manufacturing industry has entered a digital and virtual era, information technology has become increasingly important for both machining and measurement systems. Effective

Enabling Machining Vision Using STEP-NC

June 8, 2012
Author(s)
Martin Hardwick, Frederick M. Proctor, David Loffredo, Sid Venkatesh
STEP-NC is a new data format for manufacturing control. One of its applications is to enable integrated on machine measurement of machining processes using vision systems and other sensors. In this paper we describe the manufacturing process and

A Roadmap for STEP-NC Enabled Interoperable Manufacturing

June 17, 2011
Author(s)
Fiona Zhao, Frederick M. Proctor, Martin Hardwick, Sid Venkatesh, David Odendahl, Xun Xu
STEP-NC is the result of a ten-year international effort to replace the RS274D (ISO 6983) G and M code standard with a modern associative language. The new standard connects CAD design data to CAM process data so that smart applications can understand both

Merging Machining and Measurement for Cognitive Manufacturing

March 8, 2011
Author(s)
Fiona Zhao, Frederick M. Proctor, John A. Horst, Xun W. Xu
Machining process planning and measurement process planning have long received research attention from industry and academia. Machining and measurement process automation is well established for mass production in today's manufacturing systems. However
