Abstract
The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and knowledge-based systems has provided researchers with a wide range of opportunities over the last 50 years. Today the next generation of AI systems are being developed based on a new and exciting area of research in manufacturing termed “Agent Technology.” This paper describes the design and development of a STEP-NC compliant Agent-Based Computer Aided Manufacture System termed AB-CAM. The system combines STEP-NC compliant feature-based design with agent-based computer aided process planning (CAPP). The proposed system is outlined, consisting of a STEP-NC compliant, Agent based CAPP system with supporting component and resource information models.
