A Proposal for Using Models for Manufacturing (MfM) Methodology to Reconfigure Aerospace Manufacturing Systems

Abstract:

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) have gained prominence in the Aerospace Industry in recent years for several reasons. These include drastic changes in production capacity due to post-COVID19 and new environmental regulations to adapt to remain competitive; however, the current RMS design has not changed. Ontology-based engineering systems (OBE) support complex collaborative design processes that involve multidisciplinary parties and various digital tools, integrating different levels of decision-making. Models for Manufacturing (MfM) is an OBE methodology that supports industrial design and decision making in manufacturing and assembly by preserving business knowledge in ontology models, the knowledge base for generating and integrating aircraft design and manufacturing systems. This paper introduces an MfM application for RMS design in the Aerospace Industry, presenting innovative design concepts that allow RMS to be implemented in a collaborative engineering process for an aerospace product.
