EDM COLLABORATIVE
MANUFACTURING SYSTEM BASED
ON MULTI-AGENT TECHNIQUES*
Abstract:
A framework for building EDM collaborative manufacturing system using multi-agent technology to support organizations characterized by physically distributed, enterprise-wide, heterogeneous intelligent manufacturing system over Internet is proposed. Expert system theory is introduced. Design, manufacturing and technological knowledge are shared using artificial intelligence and web techniques by EDM-CAD agent, EDM-CAM agent and EDM-CAPP agent. System structure, design process, network conditions, realization methods and other key tech-niques are discussed. Instances are also introduced to testify feasibility.
Key words: Electrical discharge manufacturing Multi-agent Internet Artificial intelligent |
