Conflict Resolution Based on CBR in Intelligent CAPP System

The function of CAPP depends on manufacturing resource, product architecture and so on. Different CAPP systems need to be developed for different manufacturing enterprises, their function and application range are restricted severely, they lack for the agility and dynamic adaptability under the different production environment. In order to improve flexibility, expansibility, reusability, dynamic adaptability of CAPP system, the architecture of an intelligent CAPP based on MAS was put forward in this paper. Work mechanism of intelligent CAPP was researched, and the reason of conflict generation was analyzed, the conflicts which intelligent CAPP generated were resolved by use of case-based reasoning. Pro/E was developed by use of its TOOLKIT to build the feature model of the part, visual c++ and SQL Server were applied to develop the module of the conflict resolution based on CBR.
