최근 세계 주요 제조업체들은 스마트팩토리를 통한 글로벌 경쟁력 확보에 노력을 집중하고 있으나, 개발도상국들은 재정적, 기술적 여건으로 인하여 스마트팩토리를 도입하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 개발도상국에 적용 가능한 ICT 기반의 전력 모니터링 시스템 개발에 대한 선행 연구로서, 개발도상국 중 하나인 인도네시아의 의류 생산 공장 근로자들이 인식하는 스마트팩토리에 대하여 설문을 통해 조사하고 분석하였다. 현지인 관리자와 근로자 126명을 대상으로 전력 모니터링 시스템 설치 전과 설치 후에 각각 설문을 실시하고, 통계기법을 이용하여 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 인도네시아와 같은 개발도상국 공장 근무자들도 스마트팩토리 기술 도입의 필요성에 대하여 긍정적으로 인식하고 있으며, 이러한 기술적 도입이 직무만족도와 공장 환경의 개선에 영향을 미칠 것이라고 응답하였다. 또한, 전력 모니터링 시스템 설치 후에 실시한 설문조사 결과는 설치 전과 비교하여 직무만족도 점수가 5.5% 상승하였으며, 전력 모니터링 시스템의 필요성에 대한 인식과 시스템의 적용이 공장 환경에 미치는 긍정적 영향에 대한 점수가 각각 13%, 5.9% 상승하였다. 부가하여, 근로자들 보다는 관리자들이, 남성 보다는 여성들이 스마트팩토리 기술의 도입에 우호적인 인식을 보이는 것으로 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 개발도상국에 적용 가능한 적정 스마트팩토리 기술 개발의 방향과 함께, 개발도상국에서 현지 공장을 운영하는 제조업체들이 스마트팩토리를 도입하는데 있어 중요한 참고사항이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Smart factories can be defined as intelligent factories that produce products through IoT-based data. In order to build and operate a smart factory, various new technologies such as CPS, IoT, Big Data, and AI are to be introduced and utilized, while the implementation of a MES system that accurately and quickly collects equipment data and production performance is as important as those new technologies. First of all, it is very essential to build a smart factory appropriate to the current status of the company. In this study, what are the essential prerequisite factors for successfully implementing a smart factory was investigated. A case study has been carried out to illustrate the effect of implementing ERP and MES, and to examine the extensibilities into a smart factory. ERP and MES as an integrated manufacturing information system do not imply a smart factory, however, it has been confirmed that ERP and MES are necessary conditions among many factors for developing into a smart factory. Therefore, the stepwise implementation of intelligent MES through the expansion of MES function was suggested. An intelligent MES that is capable of making various decisions has been investigated as a prototyping system by applying data mining techniques and big data analysis. In the end, in order for small and medium enterprises to implement a low-cost, high-efficiency smart factory, the level and goal of the smart factory must be clearly defined, and the transition to ERP and MES-based intelligent factories could be a potential alternative.

Purpose: This paper aims to propose a practical strategy for smart factories and a step-by-step quality strategy according to the maturity of smart factory construction. Methods: The characteristics, compositional requirements, and diagnosis system are examined for smart factories through theoretical considerations. Several cases of implementing smart factory are studied considering the company maturity level from the aspect of the smartness concept. And specific quality techniques and innovation activities are carefully reviewed. Results: The maturity level of smart factory was classified into five phases: 1) ICT non-application, 2) basic, 3) intermediate 1, 4) intermediate 2, 5) advanced level. A five-step quality strategy was established on the basis of case studies; identify, measure, analyze, optimize, and customize. Some quality techniques are introduced for step-by-step implementation of quality strategies. Conclusion: To build a successful smart factory, it is necessary to establish a quality strategy that suits the culture and size of the company. The quality management strategy proposed in this paper is expected to contribute to the establishment of appropriate strategies for the size and purpose of the company.

With the mark of the fourth industrial revolution, the smart factory is evolving into a new future manufacturing plant. As a human-machine-interactive tool, augmented reality (AR) helps workers acquire the proficiency needed in smart factories. The valuable data displayed on the AR device must be delivered intuitively to users. Current AR applications used in smart factories lack user movement calibration, and visual fiducial markers for position correction are detected only nearby. This paper demonstrates a marker-based object detection using perspective projection to adjust augmented content while maintaining the user's original perspective with displacement. A new angle, location, and scaling values for the AR content can be calculated by comparing equivalent marker positions in two images. Two experiments were conducted to verify the implementation of the algorithm and its practicality in the smart factory. The markers were well-detected in both experiments, and the applicability in smart factories was verified by presenting appropriate displacement values for AR contents according to various movements.

Major countries are trying to expand the construction of smart factories by introducing ICT such as the Internet of Things, cloud, and big data into the manufacturing sector to secure national-level manufacturing competitiveness in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. In addition, Germany is pushing for Industry 4.0 to build a fully automatic production system through the Internet of Things, and China is pushing for the expansion of smart factories to enhance the country's industrial competitiveness through Made in China 2025, Japan's intelligent manufacturing system, and the Korean government's manufacturing innovation 3.0. In this study, considering the increasing security connectivity of smart factories, we would like to identify security threats in the external connection part of smart factories and suggest security enhancement measures based on domestic and international standard security models to respond to the identified security threats. Eventually the proposed method can be applied by accurately identifying the smart factory security status, diagnosing vulnerabilities, establishing appropriate improvement plans, and expanding security strategies to respond to security threats.

This paper proposed a new technology to control a path forging parts in limited narrow space of manufacturing process automation for smart factory. In the motion control, we adapted the obstacle avoidance technology based on ultrasonic sensors. The new motion control performance test for a mobile robot is experimented in narrow space environments. The travelling path control is performed by a fuzzy control logic. which plays a role for selecting an appropriate behavior in accordance with the situation in the vicinity of the mobile robot. Ultrasonic sensors installed at the front face of the mobile robot are used. In order to update the current position and heading angle of the mobile robot, a new approch is adapted. The reliability is illustrated by simulation and experiments.
