Abstract
A new working style assisted with various computer technologies is reviewed in this article for improving the planing stage and manufacturing stage in welding and joining engineering. A new production system fully supported with some computer systems are introduced at the first section, and specified each relevant systems to planning and the manufacturing stages, separately. The systems have been developed with many computer simulation codes, co-simulation tools, AI tools, and many types of sensing and capturing tools of the welding state data, which can be used in the high current fields. Finally, some typical research results relating to this CAWS are summarized to show the current state of researches including recurrent model of Neural networks, hybrid simulation, and an example of professional skill database.
