Research Initiation: A Test Bed of Integrated Process Planning Systems

在过去的二十年里， 计算机辅助工艺设计系统，其中每一个都有具体的 优点和缺点。 在这些系统中， 相当多的数据重叠;但数据无法接口， 因为数据结构 没有标准化。 只进行了有限的调查 有些方面被忽视了 全部 该项目的目标是开发一个测试床， 集成的工艺规划系统，可用于测试 灵活性和各种流程的数据标准化 规划功能。 这些项目将在 与美国国家标准研究所合作， 工艺规划技术试验台实验室。

The past two decades have witnessed the development of many Computer Aided Process Planning Systems, each of which has specific advantages and disadvantages. Among these systems there exists considerable data overlap; yet the data cannot be interfaced, exchanged, integrated, or communicated because the data structures are not standardized. Only limited investigation has taken place with respect to the problems, and some aspects have been ignored altogether. The object of this project is to develop a test bed of integrated process planning systems, which can be used for testing flexibility and data standardization of a variety of process planning functions. The projects will be conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's process planning test bed laboratory.
