Abstract
A manufacturing system needs to adapt or renew itself rapidly in order to produce better and cheaper products that customers require. In this paper a new architecture is proposed that features “renewal” within the life cycle of production system. In order to support renewal effectively the architecture includes not only the feed-forward structure of plan, design, construction, operation, and maintenance, but also feedback information about know-how and experiences of field operations. The architecture assumes a virtual enterprise environment which accounts for and unifies both design and manufacturing even though they typically operate remotely. The architecture supports gathering and categorizing multimedia data such as signals from equipment, trouble information, quality management information, operators’ know-how, etc. A demonstration, based on actual field-gathered multimedia data and its associated renewal activities, will verify the feasibility of the renewal-centered architecture. The demonstration will use object-oriented models and simulators.
