IMPsys: An Intelligent Mold Processing System for Smart Factory

Abstract

The explosive popularity of smart manufacturing has caught the attention of researchers in terms of intelligent mold processing and management. Mold component machining is a crucial step in the mold production process for many industries, which produces the individual parts (e.g., core pins, ejector pins, cavities, slides, and lifters) that make up a mold used in manufacturing. We present IMPsys, an AI-based system that automatically explores machining jobs, infers their processing time and schedules them on machines, given numerous 3D modelling files of mold components.
