Expert Database Support of the Integrated Manufacturing Process

Abstract

This effort explores the design requirements for an expert translator to be used as an interface between present Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems. The translator's purpose is to perform certain standards checks on the design data and pass assembly information as well as material requirements from CAD to CAM. An example translator was implemented for a simple one room house construction problem using the artificial intelligence language Prolog. This research is part of an effort to design a generic Computer Integrated Manufacturing System in which the design through manufacturing process is totally automated. Keywords: Theses; Computer aided design; Computer aided manufacturing; Computer integrated manufacturing; Expert system.
