Foundations of information governance for smart manufacturing

June 11, 2019
Author(s)
KC Morris, Yan Lu, Simon P. Frechette
The manufacturing systems of the future will be even more heavily dependent on the data than they are today. More and more data and information are being collected and communicated throughout product development lifecycles and across manufacturing value

Precision Optical Antenna Alignment System for Tracking Antennas in 6-DOF

November 4, 2018
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny, Michael S. Allman
We present on an all-optical spatial metrology system, the PiCMM, that aids in the alignment and tracking of antennas with accuracies on the order of 25 microns and 0.01 deg. This system speeds up millimeter-wave antenna alignment, does not require contact

System Lifecycle Handler -- Spinning a Digital Thread for Manufacturing

July 11, 2018
Author(s)
Manas Bajaj, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr.
Transforming the manufacturing economy from paper-based information flows to a seamless digital thread across geographically distributed supply chains has the potential to reduce cycle time by 75% and save manufacturers $30 billion annually. The "Digital

Lets truly add systems to industrial engineering

October 2, 2017
Author(s)
Timothy A. Sprock, Leon McGinnis
The ISE community can provide leadership in the design and decision-making required to support the scale, complexity and degree of automation expected of modern ISE systems, but only by adapting our legacy knowledge and tools to the required systems

Business Process Context for Message Standards

September 7, 2017
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Miroslav Ljubicic, Marija Jankovic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Scott Nieman, Garret Minakawa
Despite unrelenting increase in complexity of message standards for enterprise systems integrations, there are no effective means to address this complexity issue in practice. We describe an effort to address the issue by advancing message standards

Componentization in the Systems Modeling Language

November 20, 2013
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock
This paper describes new capabilities in the Systems Modeling Language that reduce the complexity of specifying systems through componentization, and increase the range of systems that can be specified. Modelers can identify portions of components

A Semantic Product Modeling Framework and Its Application for Behavior Evaluation

January 9, 2012
Author(s)
Jae H. Lee, Steven J. Fenves, Conrad E. Bock, Sudarsan Rachuri, Hyo-Won Suh, Xenia Fiorentini, Ram D. Sriram
Supporting different stakeholder viewpoints across the product’s entire lifecycle requires semantic richness to represent product related information and thus enable multi-view engineering simulations. This paper proposes a multi-level product modeling

Ontological Product Modeling for Collaborative Design

July 22, 2010
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, XuanFang Zha, Hyo-won Suh, Jae H. Lee
This paper shows how to combine ontological and model-based techniques in languages that facilitate collaborative design exploration. The proposed approach uses ontology to capture alternative designs and incremental refinements that meet requirements and

Ontological Product Modeling for Collaborative Design

October 30, 2009
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, XuanFang Zha, Hyo W. Suh, Jae H. Lee
This paper presents a product modeling language for collaborative design that has the benefits of ontology and expanded capabilities in conventional product modeling. The proposed approach uses ontology to increase flexibility and accuracy in combining

SysML and UML 2 Support for Activity Modeling

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock
This article describes activity modeling as specified by the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and the finalization of the Unified Modeling Language version 2 (UML 2). It reviews and updates an earlier proposed alignment between Enhanced Functional Flow
