Framework of computer integrated process systems

Abstract

Absfract -This paper attempts to illustrate the requirements and problem definitions of computer integrated processes systems (CIPS) for continuous manufacturing industries. .4n integrated distributed intelligent platform of software systems that supports the process design, operation, management and equipment maintenance is addressed. Its architecture, characteristics and hnctions are discussed. The structure and hnctions of the metasystem (which controls and manages the IDIP) are presented. The paper includes eight sections. Section 1 discusses the need to develop computer integrated process systems in continuous manufacturing industries. Section 2 analyzes the real problems existing in continuous manufacturing industries. In section 3, we discuss the distinctions between CIMS (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems) in discrete manufacturing and CIPS (Computer integrated Process Systems) in continuous manufacturing, and analyzes the CIPS characteristics. Section 4 discusses the objectives of the strategic grant. Section 5 presents the structure and functions of an integrated distributed intelligent platform of software systems and presents its features and requirements. The meta-system structure and functions are introduced in section 6 and 7. Finally, we present a few developing research projects (functional subsystems) to support the implementation of CIPS strategy and applications of IDIP.

A Method for Reducing Fuzziness and Accelerating New Product Modelling in Cad: The Case of Design for Manufacturing

“…Although some research has been conducted to develop and integrate AI techniques to enhance the intelligent modeling capabilities of CAD systems (R.W. Mann and Coons, 1965;Brown and Chandrasekaran, 1983;Rao et al, 1993;Fougères and Ostrosi, 2018). (Regassa Hunde and Debebe Woldeyohannes, 2022) proposes a process of merging CAD, called model-based reasoning (MBR), which is based on a litterature review of the both domains.…”
