I. INTRODUCTION

The goal of intelligent manufacturing system is to any normal manufacturingsystem to satisfying customer
needs at the most efficient level for lowest possible cost. Theinvolvement of computers as in the computer-
integrated manufacturing has been for morethan 20 years; the incorporation of computer technology does not
necessarily result in intelligent manufacturing system. It is the introduction of human like decisions
makingcapabilities into the manufacturing system that makes it indeed intelligent. In particularknowledge base
systems have dominated the manufacturing landscape of late 1990‟sCIM was all rage in 1980s, FMS in 1970s.
Manufacturing technology will play an important role in future humandevelopments if it is based on new
knowledge based applications. The impact ofknowledge-based system on manufacturers is already in front and
all of us to see andexperience. Any organization must make full advantage of the knowledge at its disposal.
This goal translates into the effective use of knowledge ranging from design toproduction and maintenance. To
this end, the knowledge captured in disparate modules inthe organization must be liberated and directed
synergistically to support integratedsystems for engineering and fabrication. There is a lack of awareness of
tools and techniques to be used among manufacturers. Manufacturer‟s often use existing toolsrather than
investigate benefits of modern intelligent manufacturing techniques.Intelligent system vendors can help the
situation by improving their shells to fit definedrequirements for successful manufacturing applications.

II. CONCEPT

Manufacturing is defined as process of priducing product with help of paramotors like material, manpower,
energy and appliances. the product produce by above parameters having a larger value than the total amount of
material used. The fig. shows sequence of operation in which input is shown as material, manpower, energy and
appliances. last input i.e. appliances or equipment and facility required for combining the material, labor and
energy. The output consist of product with some undesirable output, waste and scrap. Also fig. shows external
influences that should not get ignored. External influences can include govermentaction, naturaloccurance and
of course competition. The of manufacturing in broad way are

1)Production
2)Productivity
3)Flexibility
4)Quality
5)Flexibility
6)Profit
The production is first and most important objective of manufacturing function.At minimum production cost the
higher productivity is achieved,its second objection of manufacturing. The product quality should be highest one
in third objective of manufacturing.The fourth objective is to achieve profit and last one is flexibility,it is insures
that large product with good quility and productivity.To attain these inherent objectives,a number of operational

factor have to consider
 Totaly combination of incorporated software and classical hardware mathod within an scheme.
 The communication medium should be competent and effectual and teamwork in department within an
enterprise.Fast against fleet changing orders and unexpected disturbances from internal and external
manufacturing environment.
Inorder to detect and minimize failure impact on workcycle,the system and sub-system should fully tolerate

III. DESIGN

An Intelligent manufacuring system has the ability to self regulate or self control to manufacture the product
within design specification. An integrated concept withfactories or future,where product are produced in an
artificial life environment adds values to this .The researches working on implementation of expert system adds
value to this concept of adding intelligence.The working assumptions of design and implementation made on
basis of computer integrated manufacturing open system architecture.
Intelligent Manufacturing System can be achieved in three basic steps:
 Existing manufacturing processes can become intelligent by monitoring and controlling the state of
manufacturing machine.
 Existing processes can be made intelligent by adding sensors to monitor and control the state of product
being processed.
 New processes can bemade intelligently designed to produce parts of desired quality without the need of
sensing and control of product.

V. TOOLS USED FOR INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING

Following are the tools generally used in intelligent manufacturing:

. Fuzzy logic
. Genetic Algorithms
. Neural Net Works
. Case tools
. Simulation Algorithms.
. AI
A) Scheduling with Neural Network
451 | P a g e
Artificial Neural Networks aimed towards the modeling of networks of real neurons (i.e. animate brains)
motivated by their robustness, fault tolerance, flexibility and thelearning ability of the biological brains, the
building blocks of the ANN variously called as neurons, processing elements etc. do have striking similarities
with their biological counterpart.
An interactive tool for short term production scheduling with system features and graphical interface that allows
operator to interactively control the schedule generation and see influence on key parameter.
A constraint management subsystem checks that the current schedule agrees with the restriction imposed from
the production environments and if not, the reason for conflict is identified and presented to planner for
rectification. This knowledge base system is able to effectively react to unexpected events or delays. Neural
network techniques come into play, repairing an inconsistent schedule towards a consistent oran optimal
schedule.
B) Case Based Reasoning
This is extensively used as a tool to interpret the process parameters. Human expertsneed to be consulted to
interpret analytical results of the process,. Providing anopportunity to improve on the procedure with an expert
system. Case based reasoning represent knowledge as „cases‟ i.e. examples of past problems and solutions.
C) Intelligent Design and Analysis Software
The expert system produce4s optimal design parameters without violating any materialor machine constraints.
This is actually an extension of CBR (case based reasoning)
D) Fuzzy Logic
Fuzzy logic system provides a means of expressing the linguistic variable in suitable form for processing using a
Computer Fuzzy logic Control of processes offerflexibility by which process states and control actions can be
described directly fromthe experience and advice of the human operators, thus making it possible to apply
practical operational experience in the computerized control of complex multi-variantprocess. It provides a
mathematical framework to capture the uncertainties associatedwith human cognitive systems such as thinking
and reasoning. The control rule isformulated as linguistic expressions involving every words like High medium,
low etc.
E) Genetic Algorithms
GA is powerful probabilistic heuristic procedure for global search and optimization inmulti-parameter search
spaces, based on the mechanics natural genetics. It is to exploit historical information to locate new points in the
search space with expected improved performance.
This is also used as a tool for optimal assembly planning. Genetic algorithms referredto as an ADAPTIVE
COMPUTATION are based on the evolutionary concept ofnatural selection and survival of fittest.In simple
terms, genetic algorithm generates new rules to replace the least useful rulesalready in place. These software
tools allow user to solve complex problems, such asscheduling large number of conflicting tasks, finding the
shortest route that connect a
number of location, or streamlining communications network.The genetic algorithms are used to optimize the
search routine used in assemblyplanning with the goal of improving the assembly process of mechanical
productthereby minimizing time and cost.

F) Artificial Intelligence
This tool is an attempt to increase the number of human characteristics, computer andcomputer-controlled
systems. It is basically an ability to imitate the human intelligence. The sub tools used are. An algorithm is a
computer program that solves selected problem within given time frame. Early vision Computer calculations
that allow systems to see by providing lowlevel data. Higher level vision Computer calculation that allows
systems to accomplish higherlevel such as smart improvement within an environment object recognition and
reasoning about objects. Knowledge Engineering. A process by which knowledge is collected from experts

VI. IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

The implementation of Expert System approaches with this concept of intelligence addition. TheCurrent
development in feature based solid modeling techniques for design illustration and itsapplications have exposed
a potential to deputy Expert Systems for some decisions presentlyoperated by designers knowledge of design
policy and practices [1].
Intelligent System of Manufacturing can be achieved in these three basic ways:
 By using of monitoring and controlling manufacturing conditions, existing manufacturing
process become intelligent.
 By adding the sensors to control and monitor the state of processed product, existing
processes become intelligent.
 By using the New Processes of intelligent designing, the desired quality of parts can beachieved.
The Intelligent Manufacturing System (IMS),
 Uses the technologies which are fully automated, can minimize the use of human Brain,
 •Self-operated processes with automatic feedback mechanism,
International Journal of Recent advances in Mechanical Engineering (IJMECH) Vol.3, No.3, August 2014
Automatic Monitoring and control of the manufacturing Processes,
• Self-Monitoring and controlling of the state of processed product.
The Steps for the implementation in an intelligent Manufacturing system are as follows:
 Select an already available software that will first enhance an expert system and then
combine with task solution software, Collect trade values, heuristic policy, precedent experiences and
suggestion from books,
experts and standard codes,
 Categorize a whole set of rules leading this task, and illustrate them in a proper way
suitable to a list processing software,
 Create a list of features and attributes of other part, called for in the rule set,
 Create significant data by extracting the features and other essential attributes of the part
from the model information of an object,
 Categorize the rules leading this task into a information base,
 Implement an inference system as a analysis mechanism to come across the solution on
the information base and the peripheral data,

 Integrate the results into the model and its illustration to get an absolute solution.

VII. CONCLUSION

In the work, a certain conception of designing intelligent systems for enterprise management was presented.
Based on the conception, a methodology of creating the IMS is being developed based on the integration of
artificial intelligence technologies with exact methods, well-known in the decision making theory, as well as
with simulation modeling methods. The approach proposed will open up a possibility to build an IMS of open
structure, combining existing information systems with the information sub-systems in production engineering
using artificial intelligence technologies in order to create an integrated environment for comprehensive solving
of decision making problems in the system of intelligent manufacturing.
Intelligent manufacturing is the most promising and future-oriented of production system developments aiming
at further automatization, optimization and integration of manufacturing processes. Intelligent processing of data
from different sources will enable the integration of the data as well as strategic analyses and correct decision
making. Flexible analysis, diagnosis and reporting scenarios will make it possible to create a basis for evaluation
of the current situation and to facilitate and accelerate decision processes at each stage of the enterprise
functioning. Fully integrated intelligent manufacturing systems will, in the near future, enable enterprises to
function effectively and reliably on the global market, complying with its rising requirements.
