KNOWLEDGE BASED ENGINEERING – AN APPROACH VIA AUTOMATED DESIGN OF STORAGE/RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2011, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Expanding markets and flexible commercial structures (e-commerce) generate various logistic demands and force manufacturers to offer diverse material handling equipment. To fulfill this demands specially the design process must be straight forwarded to minimize developing time, as most of the whole costs to produce a new product are settled here. Automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS) are backbones of many distribution centers and widespread. As they have lots of common attributes and nearly equal characteristics, they are predestinated for knowledge based techniques. The paper now describes knowledge based engineering in general and its additional value and focuses on a practical design of an AS/RS. The main describing equations are derived and the realization in ProEngineer is presented.

Calculus algorithm for evaluation of gravitational and inertial loads acting on a 6 DOF articulated arm type industrial robot
This paper is presenting a calculus methodology that may be used in conceptual design and mechanical structure optimization for developing new articulated arm industrial robots (IR) with 6 degrees of freedom (DOF). In th...
Task-oriented off-line parametric programming of an industrial robot serving CNC lathes
Industrial robotic arms are often employed in machine tool tending. If the scope of programming is restricted to a specific machine tool type, the tasks involved become standard to a large extent. Therefore, the correspo...
