Abstract: A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) that is designed specifically to adapt to changes in production capacity, through system reconfiguration, is called a scalable-RMS. The set of system ...

Abstract: The design of manufacturing systems is typically decoupled from ordering policy decisions. Traditionally, the system design decision is made to minimize the total investment cost given some system ...

Abstract: This paper presents a tool wear monitoring framework for ultrasonic metal welding which has been used for lithium-ion battery manufacturing. Tool wear has a significant impact on joining quality. In addition, tool replacement, ...

Abstract: Online process monitoring in ultrasonic welding of automotive lithiumion batteries is essential for robust and reliable battery pack assembly. Effective quality monitoring algorithms have been developed to identify out of ...
