Description of the technology
The research works focuses on:
- computer integrated design of products, manufacturing processes and systems including the optimisation of machining and assembly systems using different criteria, as for example the energy costs in the concurrent engineering (CE) environment, the product development strategies, product development modelling, and PLM applications,
- Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP), Computer Aided Assembly Process Planning (CAAPP) and CNC machine tool programming including the use of artificial application (AI) technologies like expert systems and neural networks, manufacturing knowledge modelling and storage, and manufacturing feature recognition
- Lean Manufacturing approaches to production organization including analysis of nowadays states and calculations of Lean Manufacturing indices.
