With rapid development of IT technology and biotechnology, human lifespan is extended rapidly, and we are living in the era where aging becomes the social issue. Due to this aging problem, manpower is mainly replaced by Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) in manufacturing factories or warehouse logistics transportation. Rate of AGV use increases sharply every year. AGVs, which were used only in Smart Factories, extends its usage into indoor and outdoor operation by changing their usages to container transportation that can carry huge containers in the harbor. With the expansion of AGVs usage, the importance of RCS (Remote Control System) is also increased. In this study, we surveyed and analyzed the characteristics and technology trends of technical features of AGV's RCS that are developing in various ways to establish quality evaluation system of AGV RCS. Based on this, and by referring to international quality assessment standards, ISO/IEC 25000 series, we derived evaluation items on functional suitability and usability to secure reliability of AGV RCS. Also, it is our intention to develop evaluation model using those derived usability and reliability evaluation items.

This paper presents the study about MGV(Magnetic guidance vehicle) with up-and-down rotating type differential drive unit. Previous MGV needs the landmarks to get the driving information and additional sensor to recognize the landmarks except for localization sensor. Previous MGV requires at least 2 drive units when common fixed differential drive unit is used because it occurs the problems with driving control and localization error from imbalance of the MGV's weight. To solve such problems, we propose the MGV using up-and-down rotating type differential drive unit. Proposed MGV recognizes the driving information from the pattern which is consisted of both pole of magnet without landmarks and additional sensors, and it control the backward movement using up-and-down rotating type differential drive unit instead of common drive units. Proposed MGV considers KF(Kalman filter) to improve the localization accuracy. To verify the performance of proposed method, we designed MGV for the experiment. As the results, we can confirm the performance of propoesed method to recognize the pattern and to control the backward movement. With respect to localization, proposed method has the less RMSE about 5.6904 mm than previous method.

With the 4th industry era, smart factories are emerging. In the era of multi-product small scale production, unmanned transportation vehicles are rapidly increasing in utilization of unmanned transportation vehicles that carry and arrange goods in the work space. The conventional unmanned vehicle detected its position by using the guided line method and the position based method for indoor location recognition and movement. This method has disadvantages of initial high cost and maintenance / maintenance. In this paper, to solve the disadvantages, the method of predicting the direct path of the unmanned vehicle through the Kalman filter is verified using the white LED marker of the warehouse and the position data and the image data of the white LED marker recognition image. Through this, the reliability of the linear movement which occupies the most part in the lattice structure is secured. It is also expected that the reliance on additional position sensors will also be reduced.

This paper is research paper on the MPD(Magnet Position Device) for the outdoor MGV(Magnet /Magnet Gyro Guidance Vehicle). Usually, MGV is used in indoor environment because of a measurement height of the magnet position device. CMPD(Commercial magnet position device) has 30 mm measurement height, so this is suitable structure in indoor environment like to a flat surface. Outdoor environment is an uneven and irregular, So Outdoor MGV must has a suspension. But CMPD is unsuitable for outdoor environment because of a collision with a surface caused by suspension. Thus, measurement height of the outdoor MPD is positively necessary more than 100 mm. So, we suggest the outdoor MPD using analog magnet hall sensor, moving average filter and Characteristic(rate of the magnet hall sensor) function of the localization. Result of the experiments, the proposed Magnet Position Device for the outdoor MGV has localization accuracy 4.31 mm, measurement height 150 mm and width 150 mm and is efficient more than CMPD.

본 연구는 유연 생산 시스템에서 버퍼 할당 최적화 알고리즘을 제시한다. 기존의 연구들과는 달리 제안된 알고리즘은 시스템의 복잡성과 Combinatorial특성을 모두 다를 수 있다. 알고리즘은 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 시스템의 복잡성을 모델링하고 수정된 유전 알고리즘을 사용하여 Combinatorial특성을 다루며 버퍼를 최적으로 시스템에 할당하게 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 첫 번째 제한된 버퍼가 있는 상황에서 시스템 Output을 최대화하는 목적함수를 사용하여 최적 버퍼할당을 찾아내는 것과, 두 번째 원하는 Output을 달성할 수 있는 최소의 총 버퍼 수와 할당을 찾아내는 두 가지 목적함수에 적용된다. 마지막으로 유연 생산 시스템의 성능을 결정짓는 다른 요소들과의 관계를 살펴보기 위해 무인 운반 시스템의 발주방식과 무인 운반차의 수 등을 변화시켜 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 분석한다.

A smart factory is a key industrial application introduced by the 4^th industrial revolution. The automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is one of the technology realizing smart factory, but the development cost is high due to its early stage of technology. Although developing a low-cost AGV requires a lot of data, it has limited data acquisition capability because of the limited storage and the AGV movement. Hence, we propose a development environment using Bluetooth to collect data and design a lane detector. The proposed lane detector shows a high lane detection ratio regardless of light variation and a shade.

It is discussed how to locate idle vehicles of AGVS considering dynamically changing situation. Several positioning methods are suggested including static positioning, dynamic positioning with time-independent pickup probabilities, dynamic positioning with time-dependent pickup probabilities, and dynamic positioning with a look-ahead capability. These positioning strategies are compared with each other by a simulation experiment.
