The increasing importance of computer leads to develop new manufacturing methods. One of the most important example; 3unmanned shop floor4 model aims, the mankind can work in jobs that they can be more efficient and more comfortable. As the base of this model, in Middle East Technical University Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory (METUCIM) 3Agent Version 1.14 system is developed. Windows Distributed Internet Applications (DNA) modeling technique is used for the software development. In the developed system, by using web pages, one can give work orders to the flexible manufacturing cell in METUCIM. The manufacturing capabilities of the cell are limited by the capabilities of CNC Lathe and CNC Milling machine that exist in the system. By the developed agent based dynamic scheduling method, it is prevented to be only an experimental system for the manufacturing cell. The real manufacturing environment is adapted to the cell that it is possible to give unlimited number of work orders. The work orders can be queued and manufactured according to their 3priorities4. By the 3web-cam4 application the given work orders can be watched from the web site so the system reliability is increased for the engineer. In the real manufacturing environment it is very frequent that the 3urgent part4 is needed to manufacture. In this system it is possible to give 3urgent orders4 for these situations.

Development of a bidding algorithm used in an agent-based shop-floor control system Uluer, Muhtar Ural; Kılıç, Sadık Engin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this study a time based bidding framework is developed which is used for dispatching jobs to manufacturing resources in a virtual shop-floor environment. Agent-based shop-floor control approach is implemented with machine and part agents. The Contract-net communication protocol is utilized as the negotiation scheme between these agents. Single step product reservation (SSPR) technique is adopted throughout the study. Primary objective is determined as meeting the due dates and if the lateness is inevitab...
Simulation of flexible manufacturing systems: a pilot implementation Yücel, Necati Deniz; Kılıç, Sadık Engin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) Manufacturing industry has made extensive use of simulation as a means of trying to model the impact of variability on manufacturing system behavior and to explore various ways of coping with change and uncertainty. Simulation helps find optimal solutions to a number of problems at both design and application stages of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS̕s) serving to improve the أflexibilityؤ level The flexibility requirement of FMS necessitates the dissemination of every activity that concerns production,...
Design and simulation of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle for a micro refrigerator Yıldız, Seyfettin; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) Cooling of electronic equipments has become an important issue as the advances in technology enabled the fabrication of very small devices. The main challenge in cooling is the space limitation. The use of miniature refrigerators seems to be a solution alternative for the cooling problem. The objective of this study is to design and simulate a vapor compression refrigeration cycle for a micro-scale refrigerator. A MATLAB code is developed for the simulations. The four components of the refrigerator, namely,...
Mechanical characterization and modelling of porous polymeric materials manufactured by selective laser sintering Tekin, Cevdet Murat; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) Rapid prototyping methods embrace a family of manufacturing methods that are developed to speed up the prototyping stage of product design. The sole needed input for production being the solid model of the part, mold/tool-free production characteristics and the geometric part complexity that can be achieved due to layer-by-layer production have extended the applicability/research areas of these methods beyond prototyping. Local pore formation in part that occurs as a result of the discrete manufacturing nat...
Design of an image acquisition setup for mimic tracking Aköner, Özgüler Mine; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) With the advances in computer technology and the changing needs of people’s daily lives, robots start to offer alternative solutions. As one of these solutions, the branch of humanoid robots emerged as advanced robots that can interact with people. Robot faces are one of the most effective means of interacting with people; since they can express their emotions and reactions through facial mimics. However, the development of realistic robot faces necessitates the knowledge of the trajectories and displacemen...
