Abstract:
-
A major facility for manufacturing research exists at the National
Bureau of Standard (NBS). The Automated Manufacturing Research
Facility (AMRF) serves as a test bed and demonstration facility in
support of research by workers from NBS, industry, academia, and other
government agencies. The AMRF has been designed as a "data driven"
control system. This permits it to handle a broad range of parts for
automated manufacturing, but requires an effective interface between
the data generated in a manufacturing system and the control modules
that use the data. To meet this requirement, a distributed data
system, the Integrated Manufacturing Data Administration System
(IMDAS), has been developed. It is designed to provide the control
systems of the AMRF access to the data necessary to support the
design, planning, manufacturing, and inspection of parts.
