There is a critical need for establishing CIM at the facility level, to complement the research done in manufacturing integration, which has concentrated so far on flexible manufacturing cells, robotics and other material ...

To build an interface between product design and manufacturing execution modules is the first phase to achieving Computer Integrated Manufacturing for the factory of the future. A model of the Computer Aided Design ...

This paper is devoted to the behavior, evaluation and management of non-cyclic discrete systems in general and manufacturing systems in particular. We introduce a special type of Petri nets called CFIOs (Conflict-Free nets ...

Full control and management of information flow in manufacturing has not yet been achieved, mainly because of the data inconsistencies and lack of established functional relationships among different manufacturing application ...

This paper focuses on the development of a methodology within a software environment for automating the rule based implementation of specifications of integrated manufacturing information systems. The specifications are ...

A graphical representation schema - Updated Petri Nets (UPN) - has been developed to model rule based company policy specifications, in the context of computer integrated manufacturing systems. UPN facilitates the modeling ...

A mechanism with the potential to control the information flow among all of the manufacturing application systems, in order to streamline factory activities, based on company-specific and company-wide policies and procedures ...
