Report to the management of the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility National Bureau of Standards by AMRF Research Advisory Workshop October 22-24, 1985
Year: 1985
Type: report
Abstract: 5 - vendors, standard interfaces are needed for sensors and sensory systems as well as for elements of the control hierarchy and the data system.Study and testing are needed for system implementation languages and emulation/simulation techniques for design and testing.4. Preparation of Manufacturing Data: As the work on shop-floor control moves into the standards phase, increased research is appropriate in the area of manufacturing data preparation, including process planning, off-line programming of robots, and intelligent use of geometry and tolerance data.The next generation of data preparation systems will employ rule-based systems for selection of tools, feeds and speeds, sequences of cuts, deburring approaches, and inspection routines.5. Manufacturing Data System: NBS has made major contributions to development of net- work standards.The AMRF provides an ideal test bed for further work on the applications-level network protocols and for study of all aspects of a manufacturing data system. Technology TransferThe panels were even more active in making recommendations for technology transfer efforts than they were for research targets.The Research Associate program was seen as a major way to transfer technology effectively, but an approach that might serve large firms, which can afford to send a researcher to NBS, better than small ones.
