Abstract
Multi-process manufacturing calls for various competences and expertise. STEP-NC object-oriented approach proposes to unify several manufacturing processes in a common data model. Furthermore, CNC controllers are fully integrated into CAD/CAM/CNC numerical data chain. Thus, next generation of CNC machine tools promises to be more open, intelligent and interoperable. This chapter first proposes a simulation and optimization model for multi-process manufacturing environments by using STEP-NC. Then, a practical implementation of the developed concepts is carried out on the manufacturing equipments of the laboratory.
