Chistyakova T.B., Furaev D.N., Zashchirinsky S.V.  CAD systems for 3D models of industrial plants

The current phase of IT evolution features the transition to electronic workflow in the design of complex industrial plants. Today, the design and simulation are hardly imaginable without state-of-the-art 3D information technologies. The paper discusses the case of 3D model development for a new isomerization unit with the help of different CAD systems. It shows that the application of virtual and augmented reality tools will be the next step in the evolution of 3D design.

Keywords: computer-aided design, 3D modeling, virtual models, complex industrial plants, augmented reality, virtual reality.

Melekhin V.B., Khachumov V.M.  Intelligent part routing CAD system

A model representing declarative knowledge of a computer-aided part routing design system is developed as semantic network frame enabling formal descriptions of works and finished parts the detection of differences between them. A procedural knowledge representation model including two types of frame structures is offered. These structures allow to develop production stepы needed to eliminate the identified differences. Solution derivation procedures are synthesized, which ensure automatic determination of surfacing order and the development of part routing. A case study is included that confirms the effectiveness of procedures proposed.

Keywords: intelligent system, CAD, part routing, production steps, knowledge representation model, solution derivation procedures.

Lelyukhin V.E., Kolesnikova O.V., Belkin I.S., Kuzminova T.A.  Automation of preproduction engineering at an instrument-making enterprise

The paper describes an automated preproduction engineering subsystem implemented at an instrument-making factory with small-batch manufacturing. The system is a key information sources for the integrated ERP system. Basic solutions and are described which enable automated documentation development and effective interaction of departments for timely development and manufacturing of special tools and equipment. Implementation examples are included.

Keywords: mechanical engineering, small-batch manufacturing, preproduction engineering, preproduction engineering organization, preproduction engineering control.

Keywords: PLM system, digital twin, digital flow, machine learning, peripheral computing, digital after-sale equipment service.

Shiryaev N.V.  Improving product quality with PDM/PLM solutions

PLM solutions are widely disseminated at domestic industrial sites and design organizations. Their use is not limited by just lifecycle information storage, rather they improve the information quality. The paper examines various aspects of PLM technologies application aimed at product quality improvement.

Keywords: product lifecycle management, quality management system, audit, follow-up action.

Vedmid P.A.  On the complementarity of PLM systems, MES, and QMS

The paper focuses on the importance of an integrated approach to the implementation PLM systems, MES, and QMS. It shows that the information gathered or generated in one of those systems is input data for other ones and vice versa.

Keywords: discrete manufacturing, integration, digital manufacturing, PLM system, MES, QMS.
