Description
Long-standing R&D co-operation has evolved with Hungarian (e.g. Technical University of Budapest and Miskolc University) and foreign universities and research institutes (as in Korea, Japan, Mexico, Italy, Germany). This wide international co-operation directed us towards joint European research projects with prestigious academic and industrial partners. Fields: keeping the “traditional” design and control tasks of manufacturing automation, and turning towards intelligent manufacturing applications, virtual/extended enterprises and www network applications. Focus: handling the management, design and operation of manufacturing systems together in an integrated way. Results are verified at industrial sites, are then published in journals and at conferences of important international organisations, as IFAC, IFIP, IEEE, etc. Research is designing, simulation, scheduling, real-time control, evaluation and quality control of flexible manufacturing cells (FMC) and systems (FMS). Some EU (as WHALES, XPERTS, COSPA and FOKsai) and some national (as. Film-saver, Digital factory, Paks1 and Paks2) projects are completed successfully, and some international projects (as E-MULT, E-BEP, IPMMAN and SCULPTOR) and the next Paks works are running for 2-3 more years.
Some basic, joint characteristics of our R&D projects:
- Object-oriented design methodologies and software reuse were applied in CORBA environment for the modelling and simulation system and in the CNC control system for the OSACA EU project. Virtual enterprises are typical in our EU projects with the acronyms: PLENT, FLUENT and WHALES. In the EU 5th Framework project of WHALES, the goal is the web-based management of complex, high-volume, expensive projects of big, powerful, distributed, complex enterprises. The REDEST project dealst with management of requirement gathering and analysis, while the BIDMED project solved the computer assisted management of co-operative bidding in the medical sector. By joining the XPERTS EU project we had a chance to deal with intelligent/knowledge based machine tool design. E-BEP and E-MULT are targeting life-cycle management issues in car disassembly, reuse and recycling.
- Being members in the EU networks of ICIMS-NOE, AMETMAS-NOE, SIM-SERV, CO-DESNET and NEURON, we cooperate with 35-40 research and industrial firms in robotics, simulation and virtual/real enterprises on their design and management issues.
- In the projects with Paks Nuclear Power Plant (Hungary) the knowledge server technology was used to assist the substation operators and engineers by designing and implementing multi-function Decision Support Systems.
