TY - CHAP A1 - Minhas, Sarfraz Ul-Haque A1 - Juzek, Christian A1 - Berger, Ulrich T1 - Ontology based Intelligent Assistant System to support Manufacturing activities in a Distributed Manufacturing Environment T2 - 45th CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems 2012, Athens, Greece, 16 - 18 May 2012 N2 - The automotive industry is experiencing several limitations due to high mass customization on product side and the consequent evolution of newer ones as well as the expansion of existing production setups. There exist various complexities in planning and control of istributed production setups. This paper addresses issues related to planning using knowledge management approaches in the decentralized manufacturing domain with two distinct cases. The first case relates to the higher level planning methodology to automate experts’ knowledge in production ramp-up whereas the second case relates to optimization of production processes using knowledgebase as an intelligent assistance system for optimization.

G. T1 - Development of Intelligent Assistance System to Support Eco-efficient Planning T2 - KEOD 2012 - Proceedings of the International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development, Barcelona, Spain, 4 - 7 October, 2012 N2 - The automotive industry is facing challenges due to high mass customization and consequent decentralization of manufacturing systems. Currently, the evaluation and optimization of eco-efficiency of production processes is complicated due to time consuming LCA simulations and inexperience of production planners to make respective decisions. This paper addresses this issue by developing ontology based intelligent assistance system to support planner in environmental assessment of manufacturing of customized production in decentralized manufacturing networks as well as decision making in production planning.
