An industrial machine management system includes circuitry that collects changeable setting data of an industrial machine, determines, based on the setting data at each time point of multiple time points, whether a change has been made to the setting data, and outputs change information regarding the change when the change is determined as having been made to the setting data.

A numerical control (NC) program is converted regardless of a machining form of a workpiece. An NC program conversion processing method is an NC program conversion processing method for converting a conversion source NC program that controls a first machining center into a conversion destination NC program that controls a second machining center, which includes: a determination step of determining a machining form of a workpiece by the conversion source NC program; a decision step of deciding a correction method to be one-direction correction or two-direction correction according to the determined machining form of the workpiece; and a conversion step of converting the conversion source NC program into the conversion destination NC program using the decided correction method.

An industrial machine management system includes circuitry that collects changeable setting data of an industrial machine, determines, based on the setting data at each time point of multiple time points, whether a change has been made to the setting data, obtains change information regarding the change when the change is determined as having been made to the setting data, determines whether a predetermined event has occurred in the industrial machine, identifies, when the predetermined event is determined as having occurred, the change information such that the change information is related to the predetermined event, and outputs the change information that is identified.

Systems and methods for human-machine interaction. An adaptive behavioral control system of a human-machine interaction system controls an interaction sub-system to perform a plurality of actions for a first action type in accordance with a computer-behavioral policy, each action being a different alternative action for the action type. The adaptive behavioral control system detects a human reaction of an interaction participant to the performance of each action of the first action type from data received from a human reaction detection sub-system. The adaptive behavioral control system stores information indicating each detected human reaction in association with information identifying the associated action. In a case where stored information indicating detected human reactions for the first action type satisfy an update condition, the adaptive behavioral control system updates the computer-behavioral policy for the first action type.

A method for preemptive control planning can include: optionally determining a graph that defines dependencies between behaviors; executing an execution plan for an executing behavior; generating a set of predictions with the executing behavior; propagating the set of predictions to child behaviors of the executing behavior; determining child execution plans and child predictions with the child behaviors; repeating the above for descendant behaviors of each child behavior; determining a realized world state associated with completion of the execution plan; and executing a child execution plan associated with a world state prediction matching the realized world state.

Provided are a setting code generating device, an industrial machine, a setting code generating method, and a setting code generating program capable of confirming information output externally from an industrial machine. This setting code generating device is provided with: an identification information output unit for outputting, to a display, identification information relating to an industrial machine, including machine information relating to the industrial machine and state information relating to the state of the industrial machine; a setting code generating unit for generating a setting code obtained by encoding the identification information output by the identification information output unit, on the basis of an instruction received by way of an operating unit; and a setting code output unit for outputting the setting code generated by the setting code generating unit.

A method for controlling a cutting tool in a CNC machine and a device using the method receives contours of workpieces generated by a first measuring machine, inputs the first contour parameters into a calculation model to output first compensation values of the cutting tool, the calculation model being a time sequences model established according to contour sets of the workpieces, and the contour sets include at least one historical contour of the workpieces. The device further determines whether the first compensation values of the cutting tool are greater than, equal to or smaller than a preset value, and sends the first compensation values of the cutting tool to a machine.

A method and system for adapting a CNC machine tool path from a nominal workpiece shape to an actual workpiece shape. The method includes defining a grid of feature points on a nominal workpiece shape, where the feature points encompass an area around the machine tool path but do not necessarily include points on the machine tool path. A probe is used to detect locations of the feature points on an actual workpiece. A space mapping function is computed as a transformation from the nominal feature points to the actual feature points, and the function is applied to the nominal tool path to compute a new tool path. The new tool path is used by the CNC machine to operate on the actual workpiece. The feature points are used to characterize the three dimensional shape of the working surface of the actual workpiece, not just a curve or outline.

It is possible to make data for manufacturing devices available in a standard format using an adapter that would automatically interrogate the device and use the information gained from the machine to generate a data translation file. The data translation file could subsequently be used by an agent to interpret a data stream provided by the adapter for the manufacturing device.

A dodge method of machining path and a machining system is provided. By inserting a flag into an original machining path, an interference between the flag and a suction cup of a support unit is determined. A coding instruction is inserted at the interference to edit the original machining path, thereby generating an edited machining path. Therefore, when a machining equipment executes the edited machining path, the support unit may smoothly dodge a knife of the machining equipment.
