An optimized and virtual on-machine measurement planning model

Specifične potrebe kupaca postavljaju zahteve za fleksibilnošću i personalizovanim proizvodima, kao i brzim plasmanom na tržište. Masovna kastomizacija daje odgovor na ove zahteve i nameće nove potrebe unutar proizvodnih sistema kao što su optimizacija i virtuelizacija procesa obrade i merenja. Jedan doprinos u tom pravcu predstavljen je u ovom radu, a odnosi se na razvoj i verifikaciju modela merenja na mašini alatki. Cilj verifikacije je vizuelna provera kolizije između merne glave postavljene u prihvat alata i mernog predmeta na radnom stolu mašine. Virtuelni model planiranja merenja na mašini je realizovan na konfigurisanoj virtuelnoj mašini alatki LOLA HBG 80 u CAD okruženju. Merna puta je generisana novom metodologijom planiranja, potom optimizovana primenom kolonije mrava, programirana i verifikovana simulacijom za nekoliko standardnih oblika tolerancije. Izlaz iz simulacije je G-kod za realno merenje na mašini za delove srednje i grube klase tačnosti.The specific needs of customers set requirements like flexibility and custom-made products, as well as quick placement of products on the markets. Mass customization responds to these requirements and imposes new demands inside manufacturing systems such as optimization and virtualization of machining and measurement processes. A contribution in that direction is presented in this paper, pertaining to development and verification an on-machine measurement planning model. The aim of the verification is to visualize collision check between the measuring head placed in the tool holder and the workpiece on the machine tool working table. The virtual on-machine measurement was realized on the configured virtual machine tool LOLA HBG80 in the CAD environment. The measurement path is generated by a new planning methodology, then optimized using ants colony, programed and verified by simulations through few examples of standard forms of tolerance. The output of the simulation process is the G-code for real on-machine measurement for prismatic parts of medium and rough dimensional accuracy

An approach to development of the digital inspection twin based on CMM

Digital inspection twin (DIT) acting as a mirror between the physical and virtual measuring world. In this paper the measurement system with the CMMs ZEISS UMM 500 and DEA-IOTA-2203 was used as a physical twin, and a virtual machine, generated after modelling and configuring in PTC Creo software. Virtual measurement system is developed for inspection of the standard types of tolerances (concentricity, perpendicularity i.e.) and basic inspection features (IF) (plane, cylinder, truncated cone i.e.). The result of this paper is a new approach of the conceptual development of the digital inspection twin, based on CMMs - towards off-line DIT based on CMM by virtue of the control data list (CDL) and.ncl (DMIS) file

Contribution to the development of a digital twin based on CMM to support the inspection process

Digital twin (DT) based on CMMs acting as a mirror between the physical and virtual measuring system and process. The inspection planning process performed on the virtual components of DT, and execution of measurement on the physical components. In this paper the measurement system with the DEA-IOTA-2203 was used as a physical twin, and a virtual machine, generated after modeling and configuring in PTC Creo software. Also, a simulation process was performed in order to check the collision and generate a measuring path for one example prismatic part. The information flow is unidirectional and flowing from the virtual to the physical inspection system based on CMM. In this way, a data format or a list of instructions for the physical machine and its movements per axes is provided. Virtual measurement system is developed for inspection of the standard types of tolerances and family of prismatic mechanical parts. The result of this paper is a new contribution to the development of the digital twin for CMM based on unidirectional information flow by.ncl (DMIS) file. The application of the results of DT development is especially pronounced when planning the inspection of prismatic parts with a large number of tolerances in industrial conditions

Development of a Coordinate Measuring Machine-Based Inspection Planning System for Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 represents a new paradigm which creates new requirements in the area of manufacturing and manufacturing metrology such as to reduce the cost of product, flexibility, mass customization, quality of product, high level of digitalization, optimization, etc., all of which contribute to smart manufacturing and smart metrology systems. This paper presents a developed inspection planning system based on CMM as support of the smart metrology within Industry 4.0 or manufacturing metrology 4.0 (MM4.0). The system is based on the application of three AI techniques such as engineering ontology (EO), GA and ants colony optimization (ACO). The developed system consists of: the ontological knowledge base; the mathematical model for generating strategy of initial MP; the model of analysis and optimization of workpiece setups and probe configuration; the path simulation model in MatLab, PTC Creo and STEP-NC Machine software, and the model of optimization MP by applying ACO. The advantage of the model is its suitability for monitoring of the measurement process and digitalization of the measurement process planning, simulation carried out and measurement verification based on CMM, reduction of the preparatory measurement time as early as in the inspection planning phase and minimizing human involvement or human errors through intelligent planning, which directly influences increased production efficiency, competitiveness, and productivity of enterprises. The measuring experiment was performed using a machined prismatic workpiece (PW)

Transitional Care for Patients with Congenital Colorectal Diseases: An EUPSA Network Office, ERNICA, and eUROGEN Joint Venture

Background: Transition of care (TOC; from childhood into adulthood) of patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) and Hirschsprung disease (HD) ensures continuation of care for these patients. The aim of this international study was to assess the current status of TOC and adult care (AC) programs for patients with ARM and HD. Methods: A survey was developed by members of EUPSA, ERN eUROGEN, and ERNICA, including patient representatives (ePAGs), comprising of four domains: general information, general questions about transition to adulthood, and disease-specific questions regarding TOC and AC programs. Recruitment of centres was done by the ERNs and EUPSA, using mailing lists and social media accounts. Only descriptive statistics were reported. Results: In total, 82 centres from 21 different countries entered the survey. Approximately half of them were ERN network members. Seventy-two centres (87.8%) had a self-reported area of expertise for both ARM and HD. Specific TOC programs were installed in 44% of the centres and AC programs in 31% of these centres. When comparing centres, wide variation was observed in the content of the programs. Conclusion: Despite the awareness of the importance of TOC and AC programs, these programs were installed in less than 50% of the participating centres. Various transition and AC programs were applied, with considerable heterogeneity in implementation, content and responsible caregivers involved. Sharing best practice examples and taking into account local and National Health Care Programs might lead to a better continuation of care in the future. Level of Evidence: III

Business analytics in industry 4.0: a systematic review

Recently, the term “Industry 4.0” has emerged to characterize several Information Technology and Communication (ICT) adoptions in production processes (e.g., Internet-of-Things, implementation of digital production support information technologies). Business Analytics is often used within the Industry 4.0, thus incorporating its data intelligence (e.g., statistical analysis, predictive modelling, optimization) expert system component. In this paper, we perform a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the usage of Business Analytics within the Industry 4.0 concept, covering a selection of 169 papers obtained from six major scientific publication sources from 2010 to March 2020. The selected papers were first classified in three major types, namely, Practical Application, Reviews and Framework Proposal. Then, we analysed with more detail the practical application studies which were further divided into three main categories of the Gartner analytical maturity model, Descriptive Analytics, Predictive Analytics and Prescriptive Analytics. In particular, we characterized the distinct analytics studies in terms of the industry application and data context used, impact (in terms of their Technology Readiness Level) and selected data modelling method. Our SLR analysis provides a mapping of how data-based Industry 4.0 expert systems are currently used, disclosing also research gaps and future research opportunities.The work of P.
