Unification of the nomenclature for the production of metal structures
Abstract
Unification of the nomenclature for the production of metal structures
Incoming article date: 13.09.2025The article discusses the task of unifying design parts in the manufacture of metal structures, aimed at reducing excessive nomenclature and increasing the efficiency of the production process. A fuzzy clustering algorithm based on the Fuzzy C-Means method is proposed and implemented, taking into account a set of geometric and technological features of parts. The method allows for flexible assessment of the degree to which elements belong to unified groups and provides resistance to deviations and acceptable errors. An experimental check on a real sample of project data showed a 38.7% reduction in the number of unique positions and a reduction in labor costs for documentation preparation. The results obtained confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach for the tasks of digital transformation of production engineering.
