The importance of shape reconstruction is increasing in many areas such as RPD(Rapid Product Development) and reverse engineering. Typical data in these areas are mainly classified as the shape data measured by a laser scanner and the data extracted from the CT image. The goal of this research is to realize three-dimensional shape construction by showing a possible way to analyze input image data and reconstruct the original shape. Two main steps of the reconstructing process are obtaining cross-section data from image processing and linking loops between one slice and the next. Objects reconstructed in this way are compared with other objects using a laser scanner and modelled by commercially available software. The technique is expected to be used in reverse engineering applications and the object modeling with automated process.

Most of shoes manufacturing processes are not yet automated, it puts restrictions on increasing of productivity. Among them, adhesive application processes particularly are holding the most workers and working hours. In addition, its working conditions are very poor due to the toxicity of adhesive agents. In case of automating adhesive application processes by using robots, the robot teaching by playback is difficult to produce high productivity because the kinds of shoes to be taught mount up to several thousands. Therefore, it is essential to generate the robot working paths automatically according to the kind, the size, and the right and left of shoes, and also to teach them to the robot automatically ...

Implementation of AGVS (Automated Guided Vehicle System) in CIMS (Computer Integrated Manufacturing System) generally requires substantial study to optimize design and performance of the guide path. Traditional mathematical approaches have been used with limited success to analyze AGVS. These approaches, however, do not provide a practical opportunity to use by path designers. This paper presents a new approach based on Jules in designing and assessing AGV path to have better design of the closed-loop layout. A framework for the approach is proposed and a case study is reported to demonstrate the framework. Deletion of seldom used paths and addition of bypasses to solve the congestion problem are conducted automatically through simulation expefiments. To visualize die results a graphic control program is developed and integrated with AutoMod/AutoGram simulation package.

Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS), which is an element of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), is a widely used material handling equipment with conveyors and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Until now the evaluation of operational policies of AS/RS and control algorithms is done theoretically or by computer simulations. In this study, a real-time control and monitoring software of an AS/RS is also developed by making actually moving AS/RS miniature. A PC-based real-time monitoring program can control the AS/RS directly through the communication port. The monitoring program has additional functions such as storage/retrieval management, inventory management, and statistics management. The program can not only collect the necessary statistics but monitor the current action of the AS/RS concurrently.

As numerous sensors and actuators are used in many automated systems, various industrial networks are adopted for real-time distributed control. In order to take advantages of the networking, however, the network implementation should be carefully designed to satisfy real-time requirements considering network induced delays. This paper presents an implementation scheme of a networked control system via Profibus-DP network fur real-time distributed control. More specifically, the effect of the network induced delay on the control performance is evaluated on a Profibus-DP testbed. Also, two conventional PID gain tuning methods are slightly modified fur fouling controllers fur the networked control system. With appropriate choices for gains, it is shown that the networked control system can perform almost as well as the traditional control system.

This paper presents an order releasing algorithm for an AMS. Order release policy determine order releasing time to shop floor so as to improve order management and shop performance. The proposed order releasing algorithm can cope with the dynamic environment of orders(e.g. change or cancel of order) flexibly and fastly, by processing individual order and exchanging the information(e.g. compeletion time or lateness of order, etc) with customer. And the objective of the order releasing algorithm is the observance of the due-date, therefore, it can provide customer with a reliability of order. Computer simulation is used to obtain the makespan of order which is the input data of the order releasing algorithm. The eight candidate part dispatching rules are simulated to selected an effective part dispatching rule for the computer simulation. By using the best effective part dispatching rule, the computer simulation is conducted to determine order releasing time.

An effective tool management system is one of the keys to maximizing the benefits of a computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Tool management systems, however, are often tailored to the requirement of a highly automated system. Therefore, a different approach is needed for small and medium sized mold shops. This work deals with the implementation of tool management system for milling operations in small and medium sized CIM environment of injection mold production. In this paper, a distributed management approach is proposed for efficient tool management in relatively small machining shops in mold industry. And the design and the functions of the developed system are described.

To maintain competitiveness in the modern automotive market, it is important to carry out process planning concurrently with new car development processes. Process planners need to make decisions concurrently and collaboratively in order to reduce manufacturing preparation time for developing a new car. Automated generation of a simulation model by using the integrated process plan database can reduce time consumed for carrying out a simulation and allow a consistent model to be used throughout. In this research, we developed a web-based system for concurrent and collaborative process planning and flow analysis for an automotive general assembly using web, database, and simulation technology. A single integrated database is designed to automatically generate simulation models from process plans without having to rework the data. This system enables process planners to evaluate their decisions quickly, considering various factors, and easily share their opinions with others. By using this collaborative system, time and cost put into the assembly process planning can be reduced and the reliability of the process plan would be improved.

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.

Electrical or electronic products have been becoming smaller and high integrated recently, with printed circuit boards(PCB's) being the key components for these products. The introduction of new technology of surface mounted devices(SMD) opens new ways towards high integration on the PCB. Many plants in eletronical industry which produce high variety of PCB's to meet the demands of customer orders require flexibility in PCB's production lines. This survey paper describes the related optimization problems and solution methods to the automated surface mount technology(SMT) assembly lines, and provides with the research direction for improving flexibility.
