The Virtualization and Knowledge Extraction of Curved Shell Plates' Processing Plan Design Process

Abstract

An approach of extracting the tacit knowledge during the curved shell plates' manufacturing process using the accuracy evaluation system is discussed. First, to extract the plate from the point cloud obtained from laser scanner which includes needless points automatically, a new extraction algorithm which is more efficient is proposed. Also, the flow of the measurement is totally automated by an automation engine for ease of use by the workers. On the basis of efficient data measurement, by virtualizing the templates of plates, the knowledge during the plates' manufacturing process can be finally extracted and rearranged into the system to propose proper heating factors.
