Development of a software module for technological preparation of production of single and small-scale machine-building enterprises

Abstract

In this article, the authors present a new approach to optimizing work by reducing labor costs for the design of the technological process of production and fully automatic compilation of related documentation in the conditions of single-piece and small-scale production. One solution to building efficient small-batch and single-piece production is to use automation at different levels of production, which is in line with Industry 4.0 paradigm. A problematic place in the organization of small-scale production is the time of technological preparation of production and the preparation of relevant documentation. In the course of scientific work, algorithms for formalizing the technological route of production were implemented, tools were developed for automatically generating the technological process of production, including the calculation of the range of values of cost and operating time for individual processing methods and entire technological routes and the compilation of operational maps for production.
