Abstract
This article proposes a parallel flexible manufacturing system (FMS), which is divided into three subparallel systems, including a parallel manufacturing system, a parallel inspection system, and a parallel loading–unloading system. By building a chess parallel manufacturing production line, the lightweight practice of a parallel FMS is completed. Based on the parallel system ACP idea, the parallel FMS can realize the agility advantage of flexible manufacturing to quickly respond to diverse needs; realize the ability to quickly correct defective products; and predict and optimize the production process through the analysis and modeling of production data, reducing the product quality defect rate. This article also proposes the concept of parallel flexible manufacturing triplets, adding a microphysical world to the artificial world and the physical world, highlighting the rapid iteration characteristics of flexible manufacturing.Keywords
