Excerpt from The Technical Program of the Factory Automation Systems Division, 1993This report describes the 1993 technical program of the Factory Automation Systems Division (easd), one of five divisions within the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (mel) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (nist). Mel supports the u.s. Mechanical manufacturing industry through research and measurement services that are oriented toward a modern automated environment. The laboratory programs are organized into five areas: Automated Manufacturing, Precision Engineering, Robotics, Manufacturing' Data Interface. Standards, and. Support, for Manufacturing Technology Transfer. (see [jack92] for a detailed description of the major technical programs in the Laboratory.) The work of fasd contributes primarily to the automated manufacturing and data interface standards areas. The Automated Manufacturing efforts lead to the development of methods and systems for design, process planning, scheduling, production management and inspection. The Manufacturing Data Interface Standards thrust, which is expected to experience the greatest growth in the next decade of all Laboratory programs, develops the national standards for a paperless manufacturing and logistics support system. Data interface standards are an essential element in the u.s. Industry's efforts to draw upon the principles of concurrent engineering, a systematic approach to the integrated, concurrent design of products and their related processes, including manufacture and support [carv91].About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
