6 CONCLUSIONS
In this paper the authors introduce the novel concept of a universal manufacturing platform to support CNC manufacturing.The overall architecture of the platform
and the supporting data models together with a prototype implementation is presented.The prototype implementation demonstrates the functionality of the platform in eliminating the need for vendor specific information transformation.While the current prototype is limited in the scope of transformations,it can be extended to support additional manufacturing processes,CAD/CAM systems and non feature based component definitions.A standardised approach for representation of manufacturing resource capabilities is also imperative for the full implementation of a comprehensive manufacturing platform.
The proposed platform complements the STEP-NC standard by extending its data models to support non STEP-NC compliant manufacturing systems.It can
herefore be utilised to increase the commercial appeal of STEP-NC.
The Feature based demonstration highlights the possible performance gains and resource savings of zero time manufacturing information changeover that can beachieved by migrating from postprocessors to a standardised knowledge based platform.
