Layer-based information model for 5-axis milling processes using a GraphQL schema

Procedia CIRP, vol. 126, pp. 384–389

Abstract

The view of process-related information in NC-bound manufacturing technologies can range from a perspective of a single cutter location within a considered toolpath to aggregated data which represent the whole operation sequence of a manufacturing process. Data processing pipelines are often individually programmed for the process planning or machining stage addressing an isolated database abstraction layer. This paper proposes a data modeling approach based on a GraphQL schema empowering the user to query planning and actual process data cross-linked with different aggregation layers by a single request.
