최근 들어 다양한 제약 조건이 있는 스마트 시티나 스마트 팩토리와 같은 도메인들 내에서 태스크들을 효과적으로 처리하기 위해서 MEC 기술이 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 도메인에서 발생하는 복잡하고 동적인 시나리오는 기존의 휴리스틱이나 메타 휴리스틱 기법을 이용하여 해결하기엔 계산 복잡도가 증가하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 최근 들어 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법 중 하나로 강화학습과 딥러닝이 결합된 DRL 기법이 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 스마트 팩토리 환경에서 종속성을 가진 태스크들이 실행시간과 태스크가 처리되는 MEC 서버들의 로드 표준편차를 최소화하는 태스크 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안 기법은 태스크가 증가하는 동적인 환경에서도 좋은 성능을 보임을 증명하였다.

Advances in technologies about 3D (three-dimensional) printing and smart factory related issues will have the effect of reducing the cost of building a smart factory and making various types of service available. Manufacturers and service providers of small assets work with outside experts to provide small amounts of customized ordering services. If customers have to disclose their private information to subscribe to a new service, they may be reluctant to use it and the availability of developed technology may cause slow progress. We propose a new protocol for customized order service for smart factory. The proposed approach is designed to meet requirements of security and based on smart contract in IoT convergence network. We analyzed the requirements of the proposed approach which provided anonymity, privacy, fairness, and non-repudiation. We compared it with closely related studies to show originality and differences.

Digital twin, which is evaluated as the core of smart factory advancement, is a technology that implements a digital replica in the virtual world with the same properties and functions of assets in the real world. Since the smart factory to which digital twin is applied can support services such as real-time production process monitoring, production process simulation, and predictive maintenance of facilities, it is expected to contribute to reducing production costs and improving productivity. AAS (Asset Administration Shell) is an essential technology for implementing digital twin and supports a method to digitally represent physical assets in real world. In this paper, we design AAS for manufacturing data gathering to be used in real-time CNC (Computer Numerical Control) monitoring system in operation by considering manufacturing facility in smart factory as assets.

Small and medium-sized Korean companies are currently changing their industrial structure faster than in the past due to various environmental factors (such as securing competitiveness and developing excellent products). In particular, the importance of collecting and utilizing data produced in smart factory environments is increasing as diverse devices related to artificial intelligence are put into manufacturing sites. This paper proposes an artificial intelligence-based smart factory model to improve the process of products produced at the manufacturing site with the recent smart factory. The proposed model aims to ensure the increasingly competitive manufacturing environment and minimize production costs. The proposed model is managed by considering not only information on products produced at the site of smart factory based on artificial intelligence, but also labour force consumed in the production of products, working hours and operating plant machinery. In addition, data produced in the proposed model can be linked with similar companies and share information, enabling strategic cooperation between enterprises in manufacturing site operations.

Smart Factory is different from existing factory automation in that it aims to produce personalized products with minimum time and cost through ICT. However, previous researches, not from consumers but from product suppliers, have focused on technology trends and technology application methods. In order for Smart Factory to be successful, it must go beyond supplier-focus to meet the needs of consumers. In this study, we surveyed the purchase intention of the personalized product manufactured by smart factory. Influencing factors of purchase intention were drawn as consumers' need for uniqueness, innovativeness, need for touch, and privacy concern, based on previous research. As results of data analysis, it was confirmed that respondents were willing to purchase personalized products, and that consumers' need for uniqueness, innovativeness, and need for touch had a significant impact on purchase intention of personalized products. Our findings can be summarized as follows. First, Consumers' need for uniqueness was found to have positive effects(${\beta}=0.168$) on purchase intention of personalized products. The desire to differentiate themselves from others will be reflected in their personalized products. Therefore, consumers with a higher desire for uniqueness tend to be more willing to purchase personalized products. Second, consumer innovativeness was found to have positive effects(${\beta}=0.233$) on purchase intention of personalized products. Personalized shoes suggested in this study is a new type of personalized product that is manufactured by the latest information and communication technologies such as multi-function robots and 3D printing. Therefore, consumers seeking innovative new experiences are more willing to purchase personalized products. Third, need for touch was found to have positive effects(${\beta}=0.299$) on purchase intention of personalized products. In a smart factory environment, prosuming participation is given to consumers. If consumers participate in the product development process and reflect their requirements on the product, they are expected to increase their purchase intention by virtually satisfying the need for touch. Fourth, privacy concern was found to have no significantly related to purchase intention of personalized products. This is interpreted as a willingness to tolerate the risk of exposing personal information such as home address, telephone number, body size, and preference for consumers who feel highly useful in personalized products.

본 논문에서는 스마트 팩토리의 자동화 공정을 위하여 제품 자동 판별과 불량 시 작업자에게 자동으로 통보해주는 시스템을 설계한다. 생산라인의 효율을 극대화하기 위해서는 작업자의 개입이 적은 상태로 시스템에 의해서 자동으로 공정이 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 시스템을 적용해 작업자는 자동으로 돌아가는 라인에 크게 개입하지 않고 문제가 발생했을 때만 투입되어 조치할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 생산과 효율을 크게 증가시키면서 작업자의 실수를 미연에 방지하고 제품의 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있다.

The key technology of Industry 4.0, Smart factory is evaluated as the driving force of our economic development hereafter and a lot of researches have been established. Various entities including devices, products and managers exist in smart factory, but roles of these entities may be continuous or variable and can become extinct not long after. Existing methods for access control are not suitable to adapt to the variable environment. If we don't consider certain security level, important industrial data can be the targets of attacks. We need a new access control method satisfying desired level of efficiency and security without excessive system loads. In this paper, we propose a new RBAC-PAC which extend AC defined for PKC to the authority attribute of roles. We distribute PACs for roles through block chain method to provide the efficient access control. We verified that RBAC-PAC is more efficient in the smart factory with large number of entities which need a frequent permission update.

The main issues of the researches are monitoring environment such as weather or temperature variation and natural accident, and sensor gateways which have mobile device, applications for mobile health care. In this paper, we propose the SFMS(Smart Factory Management System) that can effectively monitor and manage a green smart factory area based on M2M service and smart phone with android OS platform. The proposed system is performed based on the TinyOS-based IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack. To validate system functionality, we built sensor network environments where were equipped with four application sensors such as Temp/Hum, PIR, door, and camera sensor. We also built and tested the SFMS system to provide a novel model for event detection systems with smart phone.
