Application of Workflow Technology in the CAPP System

Abstract:

The traditional CAPP system pays much attention to the intelligent generation of the parts process route or pursuit integration of CAD and CAPP and CAM, but it has exposed many shortcomings in the process management of process design and approval. In order to solve the problem of information transmission and process reengineering, this paper discusses the application of work flow technology in the CAPP system, and analyzes the process design and approval process based on Petri Nets model, and finally explains database design and realization of process workflow and the control mechanism of workflow engine based on state transition on emphases. Through the practical application, the system can greatly improve the efficiency of design and management of process, the process design is more flexible and more standardization.
