Introduction
The ocean technology test bed (OTTB) will be an engineering laboratory, located on the sea floor. The OTTB will be integrated with the Experimental Network under the sea observatory. It will enable scientific instrument prototyping, ocean technology development and systems engineering. More specifically, it will facilitate research into the technologies required to extend the reach of cabled ocean observatories using underwater vehicles, autonomous instrumentation, acoustic networks and manufacturing. In the Sea, machine layout problem is solved by Group Technology concept. This article developed the implementation of group technology at ocean technology.
Description
The ocean technology test bed (OTTB) will be an integrated laboratory suitable for scientific instrument prototyping, ocean technology development, systems engineering and basic marine science, located on the sea floor. This innovative technology has a broad range of applications to the emerging development of cabled ocean observatory systems internationally. A successful sustained ocean presence requires a concerted, focused, on-going engineering effort, parallel to and integrated with the science. Because the stakes are high, all elements must be optimized to be robust, reliable, maintainable, integrated, and affordable. This is the inspiration for the OTTB; a readily accessible facility, which can be used as an engineering test bed to enable the development of the essential components, needed to execute science.
Experimental Network is a fiber-optic cable and will provide continuous biological, oceanographic and geological data from locations off a coast. The Experimental Network infrastructure is an ambitious and complex cabled observatory that is truly leading edge. It has required a long design and deployment process because of novel requirements from the research community.
Through Experimental Network, users have already begun the exploration process; both of the ocean and new data collection methods. Synoptic, multidisciplinary observations from the seafloor and water column are available continuously in real time anywhere on the Internet, and scientists and students can relate their observations to a broad range of current and historical conditions using the multidisciplinary data bank. Ultimately, scientists will be able to change or start measurements in response to episodic events, from their laboratories, at any hour of the day or night.
Development of the GT layout
It involves three steps:
Formation of part family.
Arrangement of machines within cells or the machine layout problem.
Arrangement of cells with respect to each other.
Each of these steps is a combinatorial problem and many heuristics have been proposed over the years to solve them. These steps are normally performed sequentially.
Conclusion
The OTTB article is a comprehensive plan to develop these innovative ocean technologies, systems engineering methodologies and new ways of performing science coupled to the underwater observatory concept. This innovative laboratory will provide important research opportunities to scientists and engineers and is a necessary research platform from which the role of ROVs, AUVs, and integrated acoustics, in ocean science, can be further explored. The application of the technology by the science community will undoubtedly result in modifications, improvements and radically new concepts to performing research on Experiment Network and Time Series Undersea Network. Surely, productivity will improve in manufacturing side by implementing Group Technology (GT) concept. For example, it is anticipated that a more ambitious underwater vehicle development program will be required to meet the needs of the planned deep-water sites. The goal of the OTTB article is to ensure that underwater engineering research keeps pace with demand and that researchers on the coast have a state-of-the-art facility to assist them in attaining their objectives.
