INTELLIGENT PROCESSING OF MATERIALS (IPM) WORKSHOP TO BE HELD JULY 23, 1997 A workshop on Intelligent Processing of Materials (IPM) Workshop will be offered by Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) on July 23, 1997, in Johnstown, PA. The workshop will be sponsored by the National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology (NCEMT) as part of its technology transition efforts. The NCEMT has been tasked by the Navy Manufacturing Technology (MANTECH) Program to develop and demonstrate the technology needed to produce long (up to 1km) HTS wires and tapes. This workshop will demonstrate wire drawing process control through the implementation of Intelligent Processing of Materials (IPM) approach. This approach exploits current development in advanced sensing, predictive process modeling and software control, including artificial intelligence. IPM, as a process control strategy, integrates computer models of manufacturing processes with advanced sensing of product property and process variables. This results in reduced lead time, improved quality, and increased productivity and competitiveness of domestic materials processing. As part of this workshop, Engineering Knowledge Bases (EKBs) will also be demonstrated. The objective of developing the HTS/EKB is to capture and organize the relevant data, information, and knowledge generated during manufacturing technology development at the NCEMT. This EKB will be integrated with the NCEMT Web Information Server in order to facilitate technology transfer to the Navy, DOD, and the U.S. industrial base. A nominal registration fee of $30.00 covers the cost of handouts, continental breakfast, and lunch. To register for this workshop, or to receive further information, contact Ms. Tricia Wright, Concurrent Technologies Corporation, 1450 Scalp Ave., Johnstown, PA 15904, (814) 269-2567.
