IL 1401

(3) (i) Automatically generating and verifying the manufacturing data and instructions, including selection of equipment and sequences of manufacturing operations, for the manufacturing processes, from design and manufacturing data; or

Note:

(ii) Automatically reconfiguring the "automatically controlled industrial system" through reselecting equipment and sequences of manufacturing operation by "real-time processing" of data pertaining to anticipated but unscheduled events; and

This sub-item does not embargo "software" which only provides rescheduling of functionally identical equipment within "fléxible manufacturing units" using prestored "part" programmes and a prestored strategy for the distribution of the "part" programmes.

(b) Technology for the design of "automatically controlled industrial systems" which will be used with the "software" embargoed by (a) above, regardless of whether or not the conditions of (a)(1) are met.

Technical Note:

For the purposes of this Item:

(a) An "automatically controlled industrial system" is a combination of:

(1) One or more "flexible manufactfiring units"; and

(2) A supervisory "digital computer" for coordination of the independent sequences of computer instructions to, from and within the "flexible manu- facturing units";

(b) A "flexible manufacturing unit is an entity which comprises a combination of a "digital computer" including its own "main storage" and its own "related equipment", and at least one of the following:

(1) A machine tool or a/dimensional inspection machine embargoed by

Item IL 1091 or 1370;

(2) A "robot" embargoed by Item IL 1391;

(3) A digitally controlled spin-forming or flow-forming machine embargoed by

Item IL 1075;

(4) Digitally controlled equipment embargood by Item IL 1080, 1081, 1086 or 1088; (5) Digitally controlled electric arc device embargoed by Item IL 1206;

(6) Digitally controlled/equipment embargoed by Item IL 1354 or 1355(b);

(7) Digitally controlled equipment embargoed by Item II. 1357;

(8) Digitally controlled electronic equipment embargoed by Item IL 1529; or (9) A digitally controlled measuring system embargoed by Item IL 1532; NB:

For the definitions of other terms in quotation marks, see Item IL1391, 1565 or 1566. Explanatory Note:

Sub-item (a) above does not embargo "software" (in "machine executable form" only) for industrial sectors other than nuclear, aerospace, shipbuilding, heavy vehicles, machine building, microelectronics and electronics. It is also understood that this Note does not release design technology specified in sub-item (b) above.
