Development And Application Of A Machine Tool Network Production Management And Monitor System

The development of modern manufacturing requires the Customer Focused Manufacturing in spite of mass customization or multi variety small batch production, and also requires that the enterprise immediately responds to individual requirements, timely delivers to customers, and effectively manages product varieties. Therefore, remote collaborative manufacturing is becoming increasingly important in manufacturing, and network-based collaborative is widespread. However, the network is mainly applied in information exchange between the market and the management, and has not extended to the machine tool floor. It is difficult to assign the tasks, monitor the progress and manage production for remote client or enterprise managers.Aiming at the practical demands of networked cooperative machining in workshop floor, a set of Machine Tool Network Manufacture Management and Monitor System has been studied. This system offers provides a platform for remote management and monitor for the networked collaborative manufacturing.First of all, the status and development trend of domestic and foreign manufacturing and numerical control equipment is introduced, and the workshop manufacture management characteristic in our traditional manufacture management mode is analyzed. Then a new machine tool networked manufacture management and monitor mode which aiming at the actual demand of enterprise modern manufacture management is presented, and the system function and structure is designed.Secondly, according to the mode of machine tool networked manufacture management and monitor and the flow of workshop manufacture management, a set of Machine Tool Network Manufacture Management and Monitor System software is chosen. It can realize multi functions of networked manufacture, such as sound and video communication, mission assignment, CAD drawing, craft programming, workshop information upload and monitor, equipment remote management and monitor between manager and designer floor and machine tool floor in enterprise.Then according to the characteristic of workshop fieldwork, the system hardware is chosen, and the terminal system of Machine Tool Network Manufacture Management and Monitor is applied. It can realize networked management and monitor in machine tool floor during the process which integrated with the Machine Tool Network Manufacture Management and Monitor software. Finally, according to the production practice of Gear Workshop of Chongqing Machine Tool (Group) Co. Ltd. The system is designed pertinently, and the platform which integrated is applied. The result is quite good.
