Research And Application Of Networked Manufacturing Platform For Mold Enterprises

With the development of modern manufacturing industry and the serious competition of the market, the mold enterprises, which are special in the mechanical areas, are facing more serious challenges than these in several years ago. The mold enterprises must meet the requirements of the competition by a kind of brand new working model, which will make good use of the computer and net technology as well as the appropriate theory in manufacturing. The research is based on the current informatization level of the mold enterprises and the specialization of the single piece production of mold and the net environment. The networked manufacturing platform for mold enterprises, which is based on the ASP model, is built. The cooperation style of the mold enterprises is the combination of the strategy alliance and the dynamic alliance. By referring to the theory of the computer software, .NET framework is used for the whole structure of the platform, the analysis of the model style is done by UML theory, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005 solve the problems of software structure and database or related, and make the platform come true.During the development of the networked manufacturing platform, the practical production process of the mold in mold enterprises is taken into account for the design and optimization of the modules, which will make sure of the success of building and running of the alliances. The supervising and publish of information are guaranteed by the own back-stage management of each user, which is based on the control method of role. The collaborative viewing and comments of the mould 2D/3D drawing is achieved by viewing software worked in net environment. The application software that is shared in net environment can be ensured by the VNC. Particularly, analytical software (Moldflow) is enclosed in the platform to meet the need of the CAE in the mold enterprises. The snapshots are showed out to present the function and operation of the platform.The implement of the networked manufacturing platform brings more conveniences to the mold enterprises for the using of information technology. The platform greatly enhances the quality of mold design and manufacturing, shorts the whole production cycle, adds the mold enterprises more confidence to meet the competition of the market.
