Space planning is one of the popular applications of VR technology including interior design, architecture design, and factory layout. In order to provide easier methods to accommodate physical objects into virtual space planning task, we suggest applying mixed reality (MR) interface. We describe our hardware and software of our MR system designed according to requirements of the application domain. In brief, our system hardware consists of a video see-through display with a touch screen interface, mounted on a mobile platform, and we use screen space 3D manipulations to arrange virtual objects within the MR scene. Investigating the interface with our prototype implementation, we are convinced that our system will help users to design spaces in more easy and effective way.

As the manufacturing environment becomes more complex, traditional simulation models alone are having a lot of difficulties in reflecting real-time manufacturing situations. Although the Digital Twin concept is actively discussed as an alternative to overcome theses issues, many studies are being carried out only in the product design phase. This research presents a Digital Twin-based manufacturing environment framework for applying the Digital Twin concept to the manufacturing process. Twin model that is operated in virtual space, physical system and databases describing the actual manufacturing environment, are proposed as detailed components that make up the framework. To check the applicability of proposed framework, a simple Digital Twin-based manufacturing system was simulated in a conveyor system using Arena software and Excel VBA. Experiment results have shown that the twin model is transmitted real time data from the physical system via DB and were operating in the same time unit. The Excel VBA fitted parameters defined by cycle time based on historical data that real-time and training data are being accumulated together. This study proposes operating method of digital twin model through the simple experiment examples. The results lead to the applicability of Digital twin model.

This paper suggests a two-phase look-ahead Banker's algorithm for efficient operation of capacitated automated production systems. The algorithm improves the ability of detecting safe states of the previous one by considering the possibility of processing each job to completion at once as well as partial movement between jobs. The improved performance of the proposed algorithm is testified by performing numerical experiment in terms of (i) detection rate of safe states and (ii) system throughput and verified by using paired t-test.

D/In modern production industries, computer aided systems have been improving the efficiency and convenience of the various stages of work. However. as the complexity of computerized production systems increases, various techniques are still necessary. The problem we addressed occurs in computer systems that automatically make manufacturing process plans in the metal grating manufacturing industry. In the grating layout design, the key to saving the manufacturing cost is to find a design with the minimal number of cutting operations. The proposed genetic algorithm explores the feasible alternatives within the space until an optimal solution is obtained.

Generally, policymakers have a tendency to target achieving individual policy goals rarely considering their effects as a whole. In addition, the conventional policymaking practice lacks considerations on the various needs of industry participants and their response to public policies. To address this issue, a system dynamics model as a simulation model-based approach, which can examine the effectiveness of public policies in a systematic manner, is presented with an application example of the Singaporean government's policies to enhance construction productivity. Using this simulation model, the governmental policies are tested in a qualitative manner. Having obtained policy implications from the model structure and simulation results, suggestions and guidelines are provided to make the governmental policies more effective. Finally, based on the research findings it is concluded that the simulation model-based approach could be useful for construction policymaking.

Virtual simulation education, which is one of the methods of executing engineering education, is spreading. In general online education, only theoretical learning-centered lessons and practical training of simple small projects are conducted remotely, and it is necessary to disseminate various educational contents. Due to the spread of smart factories these days, most producers use automatic control to produce, inspect and package their products. The operation of automation equipment is controlled by using electricity, and electricity-related learning is operated in various departments. Due to the characteristics of electricity, it is difficult to learn online due to safety issues and high cost of practical equipment. In this paper, we provide a simulation-based electrical control panel distance learning model to improve the sense of accomplishment of education related to electrical training. Through the experiment of the proposed model, it was confirmed that the learning was more satisfied with the virtual simulation education than the online education using the existing equipment. It is expected that it can be used as a basic course for automation equipment education in the future.

Simulation Framework is a basic software tool used to develop simulation applications. This paper describes the development of a discrete event simulation framework based on DEVS(Discrete EVent System Specification) formalism, using MATLAB language which is widely used in technical computing and engineering disciplines.

반도체 제조시설의 효율성을 위해 대부분의 현장에서는 물류 자동화 시스템 (AMHS, Automated Material Handling System)을 도입하여 운영하고 있다. OHT(Overhead Hoist Transfer)는 반도체 공정에서 주로 활용되는 Monorail 컨베이어 형태의 자동 반송 시스템의 일종으로 작업물을 들고 제조라인 위에 설치된 레일을 따라 자율적으로 이동하는 방식으로 운영된다. 도체 물류 시스템의 계층적인 구조적 특징과 고가의 재료를 다루고, 외부유출이 어려운 실제 공정 현장, 실험 환경의 시간, 공간적 구축 등의 현실적 특징 때문에 반도체 제조 공정의 자동화 물류시스템에 대한 모델링 및 시뮬레이션을 통한 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 OHT를 효율적으로 제어하기 위해 DEVS(Discrete Event System Specifications) 형식론을 기반으로 OHT 시스템 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 설계 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 반도체 제조 시스템의 전반적인 물류 과정에 대해 분석하고, DEVS 형식론에 대해 연구하며, 이를 바탕으로 반도체 물류 시스템을 위한 모델링 및 시뮬레이션을 설계하였으면, 실험을 통해 제안된 모델리 반도체 물류 시스템 시뮬레이션을 수행할 수 있음을 보인다.

Many researchers have recommended that DBR scheduling would be an efficient method to maintain the balance of their workload among many processes in the general flow shop. However, as product variety has increased in recent years, the process has become more complex and requires the re-entrance of raw materials and work in process. The re-entrant line has known for the complex manufacturing process that raw materials are repeatedly processed on the same machine. This study reviews the applicability of DBR against the re-entrant manufacturing line due to the distinguishing characteristics and the higher complexity caused by multiple visits of a job into the identical process. In order to apply the DBR method to the re-entrant process, the main idea is to reconstruct re-entrant process into a virtual flow process(loop) that has a single bottleneck. This study discusses the following two questions. First, DBR is also superior to traditional scheduling methods against re-entrant manufacturing line. And how we structure and detect the system bottleneck (or sub-bottleneck) through drum-buffer-rope concepts. To answer the above questions, we experimented and analyzed the effects of the applicability of DBR under the general re-entrant process model(TRC, Technology Research Center). As a result, we have identified a balance between loops for cycle time and work in process.
