Book ChapterDOI
TL;DR: This chapter presents a new paradigm of production engineering research and outlines the way to reach the Cognitive Factory, where machines and processes are equipped with cognitive capabilities in order to allow them to assess and increase their scope of operation autonomously.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A knowledge-based approach for the automatic generation of schedules and their evaluation is presented in this paper using the building information for identification of the scheduling subject and with the support of the system, construction schedules can be re-generated flexibly, each time a project is modified, considering the current execution alternatives.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: DyKnow is presented, a concrete implemented instantiation of stream-based knowledge processing middleware with a formal semantics used to incrementally bridge the sense-reasoning gap and generate partial logical models of the environment over which metric temporal logical formulas are evaluated.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A concept for a cognitive production planning and control system, in which so-called smart products store knowledge about the production process and its current state, and which is able to react to unforeseen events and autonomously adapts the planning data to the actual elapsed values of the real production.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper proposes the design and implementation of a multi-dimensional data analysis concept for building monitoring data based on data warehouse technology, and introduces a dedicated graphical user interface for bringing the benefits of the multi- dimensional model to different stakeholders.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A new approach and framework for an autonomous design-to-fabrication system that integrates cognitive capabilities, such as reasoning from knowledge models and autonomous planning, and embeds these in the machines themselves to automatically fabricate customized parts.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A group storytelling approach is described as an alternative to the traditional individual interviews to elicitate processes and a process to abstract and transform stories into business process representations is described.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This article focuses on the engineering-related aspects of CAST, including the challenges that had to be overcome in its creation, and how it allow us to design and build novel intelligent systems in flexible ways.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The main parts of the Ikaros system are described and how it has been used to implement various cognitive systems and to control a number of different robots ranging from robot arms and hands to active vision systems and mobile robots.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A solution which can support the integration of distributed simulation models at run-time is presented, involving a computational infrastructure and a model-driven approach which allows designers to focus only on the high-level structure of a design without getting concerned with the details of the infrastructure.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A hybrid assembly station is presented, in which an industrial robot can learn new tasks from worker instructions, and the functionality is demonstrated within an experimental cell in a real-world production scenario.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A consolidated data model and system structure for an automatic and integrated process planning for machining, inspection, and feedback, based on the newly developed ISO standard STEP/STEP-NC, which provides semantic level information for the manufacturing system is presented.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper describes how Crowdsourcing has been deployed in three different reasoning scenarios to carry out industrial tasks that involve significant amounts of tacit knowledge, and concludes that there is potential for broad application of Crowds sourcing to geometric problem solving in CAD/CAM.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A customer requirements analysis and forecast (CRAF) system is defined in this paper to address the issue and aims to support product development functions with quantitative and qualitative customer requirements information, in the pursuit of generating products for near future markets.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper proposes an approach in which the production equipment and their states are modelled with an ontology, and the semantic model is dynamically analyzed to determine which action should next be taken in the production process.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper discusses benefits and tradeoffs of the different solutions of object-oriented, component-based, service-oriented paradigms, and their characteristics, with the goal of deriving some practical principles and strategies to be exploited in robotics practice.

Journal ArticleDOI
