Laboratories & Centers

Flexible Manufacturing Cell Laboratory

This laboratory enables integrated design, manufacturing, inspection, and assembly. It includes CAD/CAM systems, CNC milling and turning centers, an automated storage and retrieval system, a material-handling conveyor and robots, a CMM integrated with a computer-aided inspection system, and an assembly robot having tactile- and vision-sensing capabilities.

Manufacturing Enterprise Systems Optimization Laboratory

In this laboratory, students and faculty members perform interdisciplinary research on new methodologies and tools for modeling, design, and optimization of manufacturing systems. Research conducted in this laboratory utilizes many interesting mathematical models and techniques from computer science, control theory, and operations research. Resources available include UNIX workstations, personal computers, and a variety of software tools.

Manufacturing Systems Analysis Laboratory

In this laboratory, students and faculty members perform research on new techniques for modeling and analysis of manufacturing systems, and application of these techniques to enable time-based competitive manufacturing. The laboratory consists of several computers equipped with state-of-the-art system analysis tools.

Laboratory for Manufacturing System Realization and Quality (MSR&Q)

The goal of this laboratory is to develop a science base for a new manufacturing system realization and quality improvement. It will bring together research on manufacturing system CAD/CAM models and statistics-based methods for design, control, and diagnostics of multistage manufacturing processes behavior/quality. In doing so it addresses the following areas: (i) system decomposition and analysis using the concept of product/process key characteristics and their causalities; (ii) developing statistical methods driven by engineering models to achieve quality improvement, i.e., integrating models of data sets with efficient CAD/CAM models of manufacturing systems instead of identifying model(s) of data set alone as in the traditional SPC, and (iii) application of the developed models towards: root cause diagnosis of manufacturing variability; distributed sensing system/networks; and manufacturing system design evaluation and optimization in early design phases. Information generated is further applied to study reusable/reconfigurable multistage manufacturing systems convertability, scalability and diagnosability. Resources available include: PCs, Laser tracker, various software (CAM, VSA,.....).

Laboratory for Manufacturing Process Analysis and Control (MPAC)

In this laboratory, we focus on interdisciplinary research on new methodologies of data analysis, knowledge discovery, and control of manufacturing processes for quality and productivity improvement. The research is based on the fusion of the diverse information sources, such as the in-process sensing information of the machine conditions, and the final product quality information, and the discrete event signals from the logic controller of the process. The research utilizes theories of engineering field knowledge, signal processing, advanced statistical analysis, and system and control.
