This paper proposes a multi-agent-based collaborative virtual manufacturing environment (VME) to save energy consumption and improve efficiency in the manufacturing process. In order to achieve the high autonomy of the manufacturing system, a multi-agent system (MAS) is designed to build a collaborative VME. In this new VME environment, edge computing is embedded to strengthen the cyber resource utilization and system economy. Moreover, an efficient communication channel between networks is proposed. The subsequent cooperation and collaboration protocols among agents are designed to ensure flexible and process-oriented operations. Furthermore, the fuzzy resolution algorithm is employed to resolve the competition conflicts among function-similar MASs in the distributed manufacturing scenario. Lastly, a simulation and case study are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed VME in Internet of Things (IoT)-based manufacturing. The analysis results have demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed VME system.

The contribution deals with the generation of interactive spatial solutions to manufacturing systems by means of virtual reality. It characterizes experimental work aimed at creating 3D models of manufacturing systems through technical and software resources of virtual reality. For innovative work is considered an example of data gloves in a virtual manufacturing environment. Data glove is used for placement of models means of production in manufacturing three-dimensional space.

In order to accurately guide on-site workers to quickly accomplish the assembly job of complex products, and reduce the deployment cost of assembly instruction, we propose a publishing method of lightweight 3D assembly instruction for complex products. In this paper, the key frames of assembly motion and the 3D technical annotations in the lightweight model are mapped to the time-based assembly process. Then, the annotated lightweight model and assembly process information are integrated and published into a single 3D assembly instruction document. An assembly instruction publishing example of satellite antenna feed component shows that the lightweight 3D assembly instruction is well instructive and affordable because it provides the interactive simulation of assembly process and time-based display of assembly technical annotations without using expensive computer-aided design (CAD) systems, graphics workstations, or virtual reality equipments. This method gives a full play to the advantages of model-based definition technology and lightweight model, and fills the gap between the process planning and the instruction publishing in the 3D virtual manufacturing environment.

This paper describes a method for autonomous virtual hand behavior construction in virtual manufacturing environment. The new mechanism is aimed to reduce user’s cognitive and manipulation loads. Based on a realistic and accurate virtual hand model; a strategy and an algorithm for behavior simulation, as well as continuous operation simulation; an intelligent and efficient virtual hand is generated. The experimental results demonstrate the ability of the method, to create an autonomous and reliable virtual hand in virtual manufacturing environment.
