  • When companies or institutes manage data, in order to utilize it as useful resources for decision-making, it is essential to offer precise and reliable data. While most small and medium-sized enterprises and public institutes have been investing a great amount of money in management and maintenance of their data systems, the investment in data management has been inadequate. When public institutions establish their data systems, inspection has been constantly carried out on the data systems in order to improve safety and effectiveness. However, their capabilities in improving the quality of data have been insufficient. This study develops an automatic tool to diagnose the quality of data in a way to diagnose the data quality condition of the inspected institute quantitatively at the stage of design and closure by inspecting the data system and proves its practicality by applying the automatic tool to inspection. As a means to diagnose the quality, this study categorizes, in the aspect of quality characteristics, the items that may be improved through diagnosis at the stage of design, the early stage of establishing the data system and the measurement items by the quality index regarding measurable data values at the stage of establishment and operation. The study presents a way of quantitative measurement regarding the data structures and data values by concretizing the measurement items by quality index in a function of the automatic tool program. Also, the practicality of the tool is proved by applying the tool in the inspection field. As a result, the areas which the institute should improve are reported objectively through a complete enumeration survey on the diagnosed items and the indicators for quality improvement are presented quantitatively by presenting the quality condition quantitatively.

  • Food safety accidents have been increasing by 2% over 5,000 cases every year since 2009. Most people know that the best method to prevent food safety accidents is a quick inspection, but there is a lack of inspection technology that can be used at the non-analytic level to food production and distribution sites. Among the recent on-site diagnostic technologies, the methods for testing gene-based food poisoning bacteria were introduced with the STA technology, which can range from sample to detection. If food safety information can be generated without forgery by directly inspecting food hazard factors by remote, unmanned, not human, pollution sources can be managed by predicting risks more accurately from current big-data and artificial intelligence technology. Since this information processing can be used on smartphones using the current cloud technology, it is judged that it can be used for food safety to small food businesses or catering services.

  • This study proposed a damage location estimation method for automated image-based port infrastructure inspection. Memory efficiency was improved by calculating the homography matrix using feature detection technology and outlier removal technology, without going through the 3D modeling process and storing only damage information. To develop an algorithm specialized for port infrastructure, the algorithm was optimized through ground-truth coordinate pairs created using images of port infrastructure. The location errors obtained by applying this to the sample and concrete wall were (X: 6.5cm, Y: 1.3cm) and (X: 12.7cm, Y: 6.4cm), respectively. In addition, by applying the algorithm to the concrete wall and displaying it in the form of an exterior damage map, the possibility of field application was demonstrated.

  • For visual inspection system in real industrial environment, it is one of most important tasks to design fast and stable pattern matching algorithm. This paper presents an edge-based point correlation algorithm avoiding full search in visual inspection system. Conventional algorithms based on NGC(normalized gray-level correlation) have to overcome some difficulties for applying to automated inspection system in factory environment. First of all, NGC algorithms need high time complexity and thus high performance hardware to satisfy real-time process. In addition, lighting condition in realistic factory environments if not stable and therefore intensity variation from uncontrolled lights gives many roubles for applying directly NGC as pattern matching algorithm in this paper, we propose an algorithm to solve these problems from using thinned and binarized edge data and skipping full point search with edge-map analysis. A point correlation algorithm with the thinned edges is introduced with image pyramid technique to reduce the time complexity. Matching edges instead of using original gray-level pixel data overcomes NGC problems and pyramid of edges also provides fast and stable processing. All proposed methods are preyed from experiments using real images.

  • In this paper, an integrated monitoring system is implemented for industrial equipments which use different types of network protocols to communicate with other equipments. Dedicated gateway systems mate it difficult to modify or to add contents of network systems for communication with other systems. We suggest an integration method of effectively utilizing the general purpose gateway system (ETOS-l00A) which converts various types of protocols into TCP/IP protocol. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed integrated monitoring system, PLC-based automated inspection system is considered and the monitoring system is implemented using Visual Basic and HMI software.

  • In the product liability age the demand on quality is extremely high and inspection and test are automated. The process capability indices $C_p, {\;}C_{pk}$ and p control chart widely used to provide unitless measure of process performance and process control. Traditional process capability indices $C_p, {\;}C_{pk}$ do not represent the process variation from target value. The convention p chart for control of fraction nonconforming becomes inadequate when the fraction nonconforming becomes very small such as PPM level production system. This paper proposes process performance measure considering quadratic loss function and cumulative counts control chart for control of PPM level production system.

  • This study is concerned on the automation for cell diagnosis which has better objectivity and speed of test than human beings. Diagnosis is on the basis of shape change of abnormal Cells. Used parameters are nucleus area, nucleus perimeter, nucleus shape, cytoplasm area, nucleus/cytoplsm ratio, which was obtained using image processing technics. A new mode method is proposed on the automatic threshold selection for superior process time compared with Otsu's. Contour of the cytoplasm of abnormal cell is obtained using me- dian filter and sorel operator. The mask to get only original shape of abnormal cells is formed uslng the contour filling algorithm. In the result the normal cells are separated from the abnormal cells and the abnormal cells can be distinguished through screwing of abnormal cell's image with reference data to judge abnormal cells. Owing to this study the number of inspections which the pathologists should examine will be decreased and the time for inspection will be shortened.

  • This paper proposes a method that combines diverse evidence relevant to the reliability to evaluate the reliability of complicated systems such as robots. In practice, reliability experts combine diverse evidences relevant to the reliability and infer the answers by using their own way that are mostly informal. The proposed method also combines diverse evidence and performs inferences but informal and quantitative way by using the benefits of Bayesian Belief Nets (BBN). Diverse evidences could be those from dassical analysis techniques, test results, quality assurance about the process of manufacturing, and the quality of the company or development team, etc. Some of these evidences are qualitative and others are quantitative. Both are ...

  • In recent industry society, it is revealed that, as an increase in the use of automated manufacturing and process inspection technology, the data from mass production system exhibits some degrees of autocorrelation. The operation characteristics of traditional control charts developed under the independence assumption are adversely affected by the presence of serial correlation. Therefore, when autocorrelated construction contacted with time-series models explain, the time-series models are the Box-Jenkins forecast models which have been proposed as the best forecasting tool which allows for partitioning of variation into result from the autocorrelation structure and variation due to unusual but assignable causes. In this paper, for the AR(1) process of Box-Jenkins forecast models, when the constant term ξ are zero and different from zero, I want to analyze the sensitivity of (equation omitted), CUSUM and EWMA control chart for forecast residuals.
