The use of process specification language for cutting processes
by Laurent M. Deshayes, Omar El Beqqali, A. Bouras
International Journal of Product Development (IJPD), Vol. 2, No. 3, 2005

Abstract: Today, manufacturers have to adapt their industrial systems, more frequently respecting tighter costs and delays. The main difficulty is that the people and the software tools designed to simulate the manufacturing planning use different vocabularies than the people or software applications that actually implement the process plan. This paper uses the Process Specification Language (PSL) as a neutral and rigorous base for modelling basic concepts of cutting processes. Primitives ontologies are identified and defined and will be the core of future PSL extensions for cutting processes. Finally, an example shows how ontologies are used within a particular context.
