Wissen zur Auswahl von Montagemitteln, seine Aufbereitung und Verarbeitung in CA-Systemen

In order to reduce the time-to-market for new products in an enterprise, the time for the production set up including planning assembly systems which are needed for assembling these products should be reduced as well. This thesis shows one basic approach of a wide computer aided planning of flexible automated assembly systems and its realization with a software prototype. During planning a flexible automated assembly cell, a big amount of information describing among others the product, the possible equipment and the surroundings where the assembly cell e.g. shall be placed, are essential and must be analyzed. The planner transforms these data to the necessary requirements for selecting assembly devices by using his knowledge. For developing a prototype for selecting devices in a partly automated computer aided way this knowledge and the accompanying data are scrutinized, structured and put into an appropriate software system for representing and processing these informations. The prototype consists of an extended CAD-system for the geometrical processing and an expert system for processing the non-geometrical data.
