Research on intelligent CAPP in Electrical Discharge Manufacturing based on Web

A framework for building EDM CAPP system based on Web using intelligent technology to support organizations characterized by physically distributed, enterprise-wide, heterogeneous intelligent manufacturing system over Internet is proposed. Expert system theory is introduced. Rule-Based reasoning and Case-Based reasoning method are introduced to reason EDM method. Fuzzy reasoning algorithm is applied to select technological data. Technological knowledge is shared using AI(Artificial intelligent) and Web techniques by EDM CAPP system. Full advantages of relation-based net EDM technological database to manage data are taken. By logic decision-making, calculation decision-making, heuristic decision-making, multi experts make decision over Internet on-line. System structure, design process, network conditions, realization methods and other key techniques are discussed. Instances are also introduced to testify feasibility.
