20220214669 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO FACILITATE A SEARCH FOR A HYBRID-MANUFACTURING PROCESS PLAN - One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system and method for facilitating a search for a hybrid-manufacturing process plan for manufacturing an object. During operation, the system can obtain a set of partial order constraints constraining the order in which a set of at least two manufacturing actions, corresponding to addition or removal of predefined regions of space, appear in a process plan. The system can constrain, based on the set of partial order constraints, a search space. The search space can correspond to a tree in which the nodes represent the object's state and the edges represent available actions at each node. The system can then determine a set of optimized process plans represented by orderings of the actions, corresponding to paths on the search tree, that produce the desired final state in a cost-effective manner. | 2022-07-07 |
20220214670 | METHOD FOR CHECKING WORKPIECES, CHECKING FACILITY AND TREATMENT FACILITY - In order to provide a checking facility for checking workpieces and also a treatment facility for treating workpieces, which enable efficient and reliable quality optimisation, it is proposed that workpiece parameters are detected, for example by means of an automatic checking station, and a workpiece-specific data set is created on this basis and/or from facility parameters. | 2022-07-07 |
20220214671 | METHOD FOR ANALYSING QUALITY DEFICIENCIES - In order to provide a method for analysing quality deficiencies of workpieces, preferably vehicle bodies and/or vehicle attachment parts, in particular after and/or whilst passing through a production process in industrial-method plants, preferably after and/or whilst passing through a painting process in painting plants, by means of which method quality deficiencies can be avoided and/or by means of which method quality deficiency causes in the production process can be determined, avoided and/or remedied, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that the method comprises the following steps:
