New construction technologies, especially automated equipment, are rarely deployed on a construction site where many accidents and claims occur. This study analyzed and derived impact factors for technology adoption to improve the chance of adopting automated construction equipment to the field. First, impact factors were classified into functional and non-functional factors. Then the functional factors were divided into usability and functionality factors, and the non-functional factors into cost, construction property, and organization factors. Next, the importance and realization possibility of each impact factor were analyzed through a survey with experts. Usability and functionality were analyzed to have the highest importance and realization possibility. Lastly, the differences between construction companies and equipment development companies in the importance and realization possibility of each factor were analyzed. Construction companies recognized previous relationship, operator's attitude, members' will, and construction quality more important than equipment development companies.. The equipment development companies should consider these differences between the view of construction companies and that of equipment development companies on the impact factors. The result of this study can be used as a basis for evaluating for automated construction equipment in the preliminary development phase.

Purpose: Recently, many hospitals have been tried to increase the satisfaction of the outpatients through blood-gathering, exam, result notice and process in a day. Each laboratory has been used the automatic equipment for the rapid requests of the result notice and the increase of the reliability and efficiency. Current automatic equipments that have been limited short TAT(Turn-Around Time)because of the restricted batch lists and 1 tip-5 detectors. The Gamma Pro which is made in Korea to improve the shortcomings of existing automation equipment, complemented with capacity to perform a wide range of domestic automation equipment. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness and reliability of short TAT by comparing Gamma Pro with current automatic equipment. Materials and Methods: We studied the correlation between Gamma Pro and RIA-mat 280 using the respective 100 specimens of low or high density to the patients who were requested the thyroid hormone test (Total T3, TSH and Free T4) in Samsung Medical Center Sep. 2009. To evaluate the split-level Gamma Pro, First, we measured accuracy and carry over on the tips. Second, the condition of optimal incubation was measured by the RPM (Revolution Per Minute) and revolution axis diameter on the incubator. For the analysis for the speed of the specimen-processing, TAT was investigated with the results in a certain time. Result: The correlation coefficients (R2) between the Gamma Pro and RIA-mat 280 showed a good correlation as T3 (0.98), TSH (0.99), FT4 (0.92). The coefficient of variation (C.V) and accuracy was 0.38 % and 98.3 % at tip 1 and 0.39 % and 98.6 % at tip 2. Carry over showed 0.80 % and 1.04% at tip 1 and tip 2, respectively. These results indicate that tips had no effect on carry over contamination. At the incubator condition, we found that the optimal condition was 1.0mm of diameter at 600RPM in 1.0mm and 1.5mm of at 500RPM or 1.0mm and 1.5 mm of diameter at 600 RPM. the Gamma Pro showed that the number of exam times were increased as maximum 20 times/day comparing to 6 times/day by current automatic equipment. These results also led to the short TAT from 4.20 hour to 2.19 hours in whole processing. Conclusion: The correlation of between the Gamma Pro and RIA-mat 280 was good and has not carry over contamination in tips. The domestic automation equipment (Gamma Pro) decreases the TAT in whole test comparing to RIA-280. These results demonstrate that Gamma Pro has a good efficiency, reliability and practical usefulness, which may contribute to the excellent skill to process the large scale specimens.

The operations of the warehouses are labor intensive. Automation of the warehouse is made by efforts to shorten the work time and reduce the cost according to the change of the production form of the company and the buyer's demand. Storage warehouses vary in size and shape, and equipment and facilities used in storage warehouses vary according to purpose and use. In order to automate storage, it is necessary to introduce an operating system, which varies depending on the type of equipment and operation policy. In this paper, we review the requirements for the automation of small and medium-sized storage warehouses, and classify the equipment selection and operating system options into effective scenarios to introduce an effective automation system. Therefore, simulation is performed for each scenario, and the effect of automation is examined, and the effect of automation is verified through economic analysis through cost for automation introduction.

Hardware In-the-Loop simulation(HIL)은 실제 하드웨어 시스템을 실시간 모사할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 장비로 연구 및 개발 기간의 단축, 비용저감 등의 장점을 앞세워 다양한 전력전자 분야에 사용되고 있다. 실제 하드웨어를 그대로 모사하는 것이 HIL의 목적이기 때문에 HIL 장비는 검증의 실시간성과 출력된 결과의 정확성이 무엇보다도 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 코어간의 데이터를 주고받는 과정에서 HIL의 연산 속도 및 정확성을 저해하는 요인들이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 HIL 장비를 이용해 복잡한 시스템을 구현함에 있어서 연산속도 및 정확성을 저해하는 요인들을 찾아내고 이를 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 연산속도 개선 및 정확성 개선 방법의 타당성은 프로세서의 연산 속도 변화량, HIL 및 시험 결과 파형의 비교 분석을 통해 검증되었다.

In this paper, we established a simulation model for transport vehicle that carries the container transportation between apron and yard block on automated container terminal with a perpendicular yard layout. Usually, the efficiency of container terminal is evaluated by productivity of container cranes at apron, and though there are enough support of transport vehicles and yard cranes, can improve the productivity of container cranes. Especially, transport vehicle is very important factor in productivity of container cranes and has variable work productivity according to loading and unloading situation of container cranes. Therefore, a method that can estimate work productivity of transport vehicle efficiently is required. We analyzed work productivity of transport vehicle using simulation model that has state transition of transport vehicle. We performed various simulation experiment and analyzed work productivity of transport vehicle and calculated the required number of transport vehicle by container crane additionally.

According to increase of construction projects which is accomplished in the town, diaphragm wall method was proposed. This method diminished noise and vibration. And it is able to excavate deeper than other methods. But excavation work is difficult to maintain vertical and requires much time to work. Also the work result depends on know-how, experience and intuition of excavating machine operator. We interviewed technical experts related with slurry wall method and find equipment's characteristics. We used cost-concern matrix to investigate the propriety for the introduction of trench cutter automation. Through the research, it is proper to apply trench cutter automation.

This paper provided a simulation model for transport vehicles that carry container from the ship to yard block and vice versa at automated container terminal with a perpendicular yard layout. Usually, the efficiency of container terminal is evaluated by the productivity of container cranes at apron, and the stevedoring system for transport vehicles and yard cranes should be supported enough to improve productivity of container cranes. Especially, transport vehicle is very important factor in the productivity of container cranes and the performance of transport vehicles are changed according to the number and traveling type of vehicles. For these reason, a method that can estimate productivity of transport vehicle is required Finally, we developed the simulation model to analyze the productivity of transport vehicle and presented the productivity of container cranes for a varying operation of transport vehicles.
