Parallel Manufacture

Proposers:

Yansong Cao；Yanchen Gao；Huaiyu Wu

Introduction:

The Session on parallel manufacture aims to solve the costly and time consuming problem in real autonomous industrial manufacturing system. For example, real-time monitoring the whole production line is important and necessary in real factories. However, the cost for monitoring and the consequence of negligent monitoring is tremendous. To avoid using personnel to monitor the production process, parallel manufacture provides an alternative and effective way. Parallel manufacture models the specific input and output parameters in each step of the entire production process, realizing synchronous experiments in virtual factories. In this virtual factory, we could achieve real-time monitoring, find design deficiency and evaluate production efficiency with lowest cost.
