Objective The objective of this project was to design a new distributed system for inspection and quality control in flexible manufacturing systems (DASIQ). DASIQ was to comprise three subsystems: inspection of surface finish, coarse dimensional control and high-precision inspection. The objectives were to: -design the system architecture and define the distributed subsystems and interfaces -design inspection subsystems capable of interfacing with most types of existing sensors for data acquisition and information processing -integrate already existing optical inspection techniques -provide diagnosis and alarms for the FMS management system, with special attention paid to the interfaces with CAD. The objective of this project was to design a new distributed system for inspection and quality control in flexible manufacturing systems (DASIQ). DASIQ was to comprise 3 subsystems inspection of surface finish, coarse dimensional control and high precision inspection. The objectives were to: design the system architecture and define the distributed subsystems and interfaces; design inspection subsystems capable of interfacing with most types of existing sensors for data acquisition and information processing; integrate already existing optical inspection techniques; and provide diagnosis and alarms for the flexible manufacturing system (FMS) management system, with special attention paid to the interfaces with computer aided design (CAD). The design of the different inspection subsystemswas completed.The design of the different inspection subsystems was completed, but the project had to be terminated after three years due to withdrawal of one of the partners.
