Method Of Using Neutral Event File For Manufacturing Line Analysis
view source
US Patent:

6741898, May 25, 2004
Filed:

Jun 4, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/681780
Inventors:

Alan Newton Baumgartner - Livonia MI
Joseph George Walacavage - Ypsilanti MI
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

G06F 1900
US Classification:

700 96, 700 97, 700 99, 700105
Abstract:

A method is provided of using a neutral event file for manufacturing line analysis. The method includes the steps of constructing a neutral event file and executing a manufacturing line analysis model using the neutral event file. The method also includes the steps of determining whether a good manufacturing line exists based on the manufacturing line analysis model and using the manufacturing line analysis model to build the manufacturing line if a good manufacturing line exists.

US Patent:

6748283, Jun 8, 2004
Filed:

Aug 15, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/219712
Inventors:

Joseph G. Walacavage - Ypsilanti MI
Alan Newton Baumgartner - Livonia MI
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

G06F 1900
US Classification:

700 96, 700 97, 700 99, 700105
Abstract:

A method is provided of using a neutral event specification file for manufacturing line analysis. The method includes the steps of constructing a neutral event specification file having a specification format including at least one event, wherein each event has a name, description, at least one signal, and at least one action. The method also includes the step of executing a manufacturing line analysis model using the neutral event specification file.

US Patent:

7346478, Mar 18, 2008
Filed:

Sep 21, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/946233
Inventors:

Joe Walacavage - Ypsilanti MI, US
Alan Baumgartner - Livonia MI, US
Scott Kennedy - Warren MI, US
Shanker Ganti - Canton MI, US
Eric Newman - Brighton MI, US
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

G06F 9/455
US Classification:

703 7, 703 26, 703 13, 700105, 700 32, 700 97, 700165
Abstract:

A method is provided of embedding tooling control data within a mechanical fixture design to enable programmable logic control verification simulation. The method includes the steps of constructing at least one of a mechanical fixture design, a workcell design, and a controls design. The method also includes the steps of executing a virtual programmable logic control (VPLC) simulation with a VPLC verification simulator to verify the at least one of the mechanical fixture design, the workcell design, and the controls design.

US Patent:

7376483, May 20, 2008
Filed:

Sep 13, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/531441
Inventors:

Alan Baumgartner - Livonia MI, US
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

G06F 19/00
US Classification:

700179, 700 99, 700100, 700180
Abstract:

Systems and methods to select a location to perform a process are provided. In at least one embodiment, a system receives tool data defining a tool including its location within a manufacturing facility and process data defining a process for assembling at least a portion of a vehicle. The system stores the tool data in memory. The system automatically determines whether the tool data satisfies a selected process definition. The system outputs a representation of the tool's location along a first axis, a representation of the process along a second axis, and a representation relative to the first axis and the second axis indicating that the tool satisfies the process if the tool data satisfies the process definition thereby enabling a user to select a location to perform the process.

US Patent:

7571085, Aug 4, 2009
Filed:

Sep 27, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/535753
Inventors:

Alan Baumgartner - Livonia MI, US
David Knapp - Waterford MI, US
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

G06F 7/48
G06F 19/00
US Classification:

703 8, 700 97, 700107, 700182
Abstract:

Systems and methods to select a vehicle component are provided. In at least one embodiment, a system receives first configuration data defining a first vehicle assembly configuration, category data defining a component category, and component data defining a vehicle component. The system stores the configuration data and the category data in memory. The system automatically determines whether the component data satisfies a selected vehicle assembly configuration definition and whether the component data satisfies a selected component category definition. The system outputs a representation of the vehicle component if the component data satisfies the selected vehicle assembly configuration definition and the selected component category definition thereby automatically selecting the component.

US Patent:

7774090, Aug 10, 2010
Filed:

Sep 13, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/531429
Inventors:

Alan Baumgartner - Livonia MI, US
Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

G06F 19/00
US Classification:

700179, 700 95, 700106, 700180
Abstract:

Systems and methods to select a tool are provided. In at least one embodiment, a system receives first tool data defining a first tool and requirement data defining a requirement of a process to be performed within a manufacturing facility. The system stores the first tool data in memory. The system automatically determines whether the first tool data satisfies a selected requirement definition and outputs a first representation of the first tool if the first tool data satisfies the selected requirement definition thereby enabling a user to select the tool.
