The design and configuration of manufacturing equipment require crucial decision considering optimum capacity and functionality.
The relative performances of the alternative equipment in view of interactions of process reconfigurability and cost, and capacity and functionality are graphically illustrated.
Despite the differences in the load capacity and functionality, the control system of these devices can be categorized as position servo control or force servo control.
The reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) meets this challenge through the ability to rapidly and efficiently change capacity and functionality, which is the reason why it has been widely labelled the manufacturing paradigm of the future.
Reconfigurable manufacturing systems offer quick adjustment of production capacity and functionality in response to unpredictable market changes as being systems designed at the outset for rapid change in system configuration, its machines and controls.
Today's machining shop floors, characterized by a large variety of products in small batch sizes, require dynamic process planning capabilities that are responsive and adaptive to the rapid changes of production capacity and functionality.
Moreover, the machine can be reconfigured to meet the changing needs in terms of capacity and functionality, which means that the same machine can be modified in order to perform different tasks depending on the offered axes of motion in each configuration and the availability of tools.
Options start at less than $100 and increase according to storage capacity and functionality.
Few, if any, commercial packages exist which have the capacity and functionality to undertake on-going record linkage.
Finally, sorted CD45/CD11b double-positive cells were able to uptake red fluorescent latex beads, demonstrating their phagocytic capacity and functionality.
Consensus is needed on specific indicators for monitoring the capacity and functionality of health facilities in low- and middle-income countries.
