Lelyukhin V.E., Kolesnikova O.V., Kuz’minova T.A.  On-line update of small-batch and single-piece production plans using scheduling technique

In case of deviations from small-batch or single-piece production plan, the key problem is the realignment of the complex production structure in the scheduling space. Revolutionary changes of the whole plan structure is required therefor that results in the need to reschedule each workstation. The paper presents an approach presuming on-line daily update of the whole production plan based on the current information about the deviations of actual production status from the planned targets. It offers the schemes for on-line production plan update for local cells and workshops without damaging its structural integrity. The approach proposed was implemented in practice.

Keywords: mechanical engineering, production control, control model, integrated plan, small-batch production, scheduling, MES, APS systems.

Dorobin D.S.  An information system for the decommissioning database of Bilibino NPP

Safe and timely decommissioning of nuclear and radiation-dangerous plants is an urgent and important task for Rosatom National Corporation. It can be executed only if a comprehensive multi-level informational support system for decommissioning is available at the corporate level. The paper discusses the design concept of an information system for the decommissioning database of Bilibino NPP. Similar information systems have been implemented by NEOLANT Group at six Rosatom’s sites.

Keywords: decommissioning, database, information systems, information model, lifecycle support, NPP, safety.

Filaretov V.F., Yukhimets D.A., Zuev A.V., Gubanov A.S.  Automating cutting of flexible odd-shaped workpieces based on machine-vision systems and their CAD models

The paper offers a technique for close tolerance machining of flexible free-form workpieces with the help of industrial robots equipped with machine vision systems. The technique employs simple and fast workpiece fixing in the universal mounting with its possible shape deformation, the scanning of the fixed workpiece by the machine vision system, alignment of the workpiece’s reference CAD model with its model obtained after scanning, automatic development of the robot’s toolpath in process of cutting. For implementing the technique proposed, an algorithm aligning the two above-mentioned models and transferring the cutting tool’s path from the reference CAD model to the deformed workpiece was developed. The simulation undertaken along with preliminary experimental research confirm that the algorithm ensures high-quality cutting of various deformable workpieces.

Keywords: industrial robot, machine vision system, CAD model, models alignment, toolpath development, deformable workpiece.
