Flexible Fertigungssysteme: Der FFS-Report der INGERSOLL ENGINEERS

Flexible Fertigungssysteme: Der FFS-Report der INGERSOLL ENGINEERS (IPA-IAO - Forschung und Praxis Tagungsberichte #1)

Flexible Fertigungssysteme eröffnen den Unternehmen rasche und gezielte Reaktionen aufvielfältige Herausforderungen im Wettbewerb wie steigende Kosten, veränderliche Nachfrage und termingerechte Lieferung. Bei der Einführung von flexiblen Fertigungssystemen treten in der Regel betrieb­ liche und unternehmerische Reorganisationsprobleme auf, die die Firmen oft nicht aus eigener Erfahrung sondern nur mit einer umfassenden und so­ liden Information über diese neue Technik von außen lösen können. Der Aufbau eines solchen Informationsnetzes kann zudem oft schon zu einer realistischen Sicht gegenüber der neuen Technologie und zum Abbau von unangemessenen Befürchtungen führen, die mit ihrer Einführung bei Be­ troffenen verbunden sind. Ich begrüße es deshalb, daß es mit der Herausgabe eines deutschen "FMS-Reports" auch der deutschen Industrie leichter gemacht wird, sich fundiert über dieses wichtige Instrument zu informieren. Die Bedeutung der automatischen flexiblen Fertigung kann für die Erhaltung und Stärkung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit unserer Wirtschaft nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden. Nur durch die Entwicklung und Anwendung von Spitzentechniken und umfangreichem Fertigungs-know-how wird es der Bundesrepublik ge­ lingen, ihre Exportfähigkeit und Weltmarktstellung und damit Arbeits­ plätze zu sichern.

Flexible Fertigungssysteme: 20. IPA-Arbeitstagung 13./14. September 1988 in Stuttgart (IPA-IAO - Forschung und Praxis Tagungsberichte #10)

Um erfolgreich zu sein gilt es, rechtzeitig die strategischen Entscheidungen in den Unter­ nehmen zu treffen und die erfolgbestimmenden Weichen für die Zukunft richtig zu stellen. Daß mit flexiblen Fertigungssystemen bei fundierter Planung Vorteile in stra­ tegischer und operativer Hinsicht verbunden sind, dürfte heute außer Zweifel stehen. Diese Vorteile können noch verstärkt werden, wenn die Systeme nicht als reine Fertigungsanlagen geplant und betrieben, sondern als Teil eines Gesamtbetriebes, und damit als vollwertiger Baustein der Rechnergeführten Produktion (CIM) gesehen werden. Die damit verbundenen Aufgaben, die sich durch die vertikale wie auch horizontale I ntegration eines flexiblen Fertigungssystems in den Gesamtbetrieb ergeben, werden oft erst beim Systembetrieb erkannt. Diese dann noch zu lösen, fällt häufig schwer - dies muß bereits während der Planung geschehen. Für viele Unternehmer, vor allem Klein-und Mittelbetriebe, werden die auf diesem Weg notwendigen Entscheidungen zu Hürden, die alleine nicht zu bewältigen sind. Schon die vergleichende Bewertung von verschiedenen Herstellerangeboten von Werkzeug­ maschinen, Materialflußsysteme, Steuerungshard-und software stellt für den Anwender eine große Herausforderung dar. Tagungen können dabei eine wichtige Mittierfunktion einnehmen, um unverzichtbare Informationen aus erster Hand zu erhalten und um wertvolle Erfahrungen auszutauschen, die alle selbst zu sammeln jedes einzelne Unternehmen teuer, vielleicht zu teuer zu stehen kämen. Mit der 20. IPA -Arbeitstagung "Flexible Fertigungssysteme" wird die erfolgreiche internationale Tagungsreihe "Flexible Manufacturing Systems" (FMSl, die bereits im siebten Jahr stattfindet, mit der ebenfalls im fünften Jahr stattfindenden Tagungsreihe "Lasers in Manufacturing" (UM) erstmals zu einem internationalen Doppelkongreß zusammengeführt.

Flexible Food Packaging: Questions and Answers

Packaging is an essential feature of modern life. The science and art of packaging is so vast that no single book or even a multivolume work could hope to cover the entire scope of topics, from Artwork to Zipper. This volume has selected some of the most commonly raised questions in the field of flexible packaging of food. No claim is made for comprehensive coverage of the field-nor even for an in-depth exploration of a limited number of topics. The novice should find sufficient material here to gain a broad understanding of flexible packaging. The expert's knowledge may be enriched by the case studies and the additional reading lists. The first topic covered is "Who needs packaging?" We conclude that everyone depends on packaging. Western civilization as we know it today would cease without modern packaging. The advantages of controlled atmosphere (CA) or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP are reviewed, especially as they apply to the preservation of meat cheese and produce. The need for a moisture and oxygen barrier is analyzed, and materials that provide these properties are presented. The legal aspects of packaging are confronted-including FDA and USDA oversight, EPA and toxic waste disposal, bar codes, and nutritional labeling. Machinery-especially form-fill-seal (ffs)-is covered in detail, and the influence of the computer on the modern packaging operation is discussed.
