Mechanical Design Paradigm based on ACP Method in Parallel Manufacturing

Parallel Manufacturing is a new manufacturing paradigm in industry, deeply integrating informalization, automation, and artificial intelligence. In this paper we propose a new mechanical design paradigm in Parallel Manufacturing based on ACP method. The key is to regard the design procedure based on artificial design and emulation method as two independent procedures, which can be modeled as a parallel system. The design procedure based on ACP method does not include a real system, which is an inventive extension of the traditional parallel system. This method can be implemented with social information by introducing the definition of SDV, SDM, and Intelligent Design Manager, making it highly adaptive for social manufacturing and Parallel Manufacturing.
