摘要
A concurrent engineering system has been developed using a multiagent architecture to address the issues of design, manufacturability analysis, incremental process planning, dynamic routing, and scheduling simultaneously. The system includes a feature-based intelligent design subsystem for prismatic components, a shop-floor subsystem to represent available resources, and a supervisory control interlace to manage the shop-floor resources. The evaluation of the system used a simulated shop-floor environment with four production machines for the design of a prismatic component. As the design progressed, manufacturability was evaluated and shop-floor planning was carried out concurrently. Valid process plans, routing, and scheduling were generated. The system is now being extended to incorporate additional design systems and shop-floor environments.
