This paper deals with an automated computer-aided process planning system by which designer can determine operation sequences even if they have little experience in process planning of wheel bolt products by a multi-stage former. The approach to the system is based on knowledge-based rules and a process knowledge base consisting of design rules is built. Knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theories, empirical results and the empirical knowledge of field experts. Programs for the system have been written in AutoLISP for the AutoCAD using a personal computer and are composed of two main modules. An attempt is made to link programs incorporationg a number of expert design rules to form a useful package. Results obtained using the modules enable the designer and manufacturer of wheel bolt product to be more efficient in this field.

This paper discusses how to develop a standard time for face cutting. The discussion focusses especially on the useful experert and law data for automated generate standard time purposes. Make standard time is a means to realize the process planning. Also process planning is a process which expresses design. In past times, a process planning was done using only experience of expert. But nowadays many people try to make automated process planning. This paper discusses standard time of the face cutting, but except making process sequence. In order to make standard time, some rules have to be generated and some industrial data found out. So we can calulate standard time in die. This is to easer and to correct calulate standard time. Using some rules that are application oriented to every parts of die.

The demand to increase productivity and quality, the shortage of skilled labour and the strict health and safety requirements have led to the development of the automated welding process to deal with many of the present problems of welded fabrication. To make effective use of the automated arc welding process, it is imperative that a mathematical model, which can be programmed easily and fed to the robot, should be developed. The objectives of the paper are to develop the mathematical equations (linear and curvilinear) for study of the relationship between process variables and bead geometry by employing a standard statistical package program, SAS and to choose the best model for automation of the $CO_2$ gas arc welding process. Mathematical models developed from experimental results can be employed to control the process variables in order to achieve the desired bead geometry based on weld quality criteria. Also these equations may prove useful and applicable for automatic control system and expert systems.

BIM-based 4D simulation makes people easily understand complex construction process using 3D graphics model and helps them review and identify the construction schedule in each phase of the construction process. Moreover, 4D simulation can be used as reference data to determine the validity of the process in the design phase and will be utilized as a measure for checking the construction process. Therefore 4D simulation of construction improves efficiency of project management. However, current commercial applications available for 4D simulation do not provide sufficient functions for connection of 3D models and process information. In this paper, we propose an automated generation method through the definition of the process based on a work method template and developed the template based schedule generation system (TSGS).

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to develop an automated disinfectant dilution system, and an automated data management system for spraying amount for resolving uncertainty problem. Methods: Proper diluting rate was made by a controlled volume pump for liquid disinfectant and a screw conveyer pump for solid disinfectant. The water capacity of disinfecting system of 400 L was controlled by two water level sensors. The water quantity of water tank was controlled by the signals which were produced by the water level sensors. Signals were processed by Labview Programming, and ON/OFF of solenoid valve that was used for controlling water supplying to water tank, was controlled by SSR. The operating time of pumps for disinfectant was controlled quantitatively. A turbine flowmeter was used for development of automated measurement system for spraying amount of disinfectant. In order to save the flowmeter data and to control the spraying system, a multi-function data logger was used, and it was processed and saved in Excel file by a program developed in this study. Results: Labview 2010 was used for programming to control the automated measurement system for spraying amount of disinfectant. Results showed that the relationship between flowmeter value and time had a significant linear relationship such as 0.99 of $R^2$. Generally, 6.74 L/s of diluted disinfectant is sprayed for a vehicle passing through the disinfection system (about 15 seconds). Test results showed that average error between the measured spraying amount and the flowmeter data was 50 mL, and the range of error was 1.3%. Since the amount and time of spraying could be saved in real-time by using the spreadsheet files which could not be modified arbitrarily, it made possible to judge objectively whether the disinfection spraying was performed or not. Test results of spraying liquid and solid disinfectant showed that the errors between the measured discharge rate and the theoretical one were ranged within 3-4% for various dilution rates. Conclusions: The disinfection system developed would be working accurately. The automated spraying data base management system satisfied the purpose of this study. The automated dilution process system developed in this study could discharge liquid and solid disinfectant with accurate dilution rate, relatively.

IFC based open BIM has internationally developed as a solution for interoperability problem among different software applications. Despite much interest and effort, the open BIM technologies are rarely introduced to the construction industry and need more technical development for a practical application as well. This research aims to develop automated code checking modules for quality assurance process of BIM data. The research have analyzed domestic regulations focusing on super-tall buildings and developed open BIM-based code checking modules for the evacuation regulations. The modules are able to validate evacuation regulations such as installation of emergency elevator and fire safety zone. The authors expect to improve the process of BIM quality assurance and enhance the quality of BIM data by this research on automated checking system.

In this paper, in order to overcome shortcomings of manual inspection for the automotive PWM Shaft, we developed an automated inline inspection system. The automated inline inspection system consists of the work feeder unit, conveying unit, outer diameter check unit, run-out and roundness check unit, machine vision, defective separation unit and status alarm unit. We used the machine vision system for automatic inspection process and designed the inline systems for automatic feeding and selecting process. Also the repeated operation test was performed in order to verify the precision and reliability of the proposed automated inline inspection system.

In this paper, a method to detect and diagnose faults in Automated Manufacturing Systems(AMS) is proposed. In AMS, it is necessary to monitor the process-status. The detection and diagnosis of faults are often difficult in monitoring level with given passive data. We propose the model-based monitoring system for faults detection and diagnosis using Petri Nets to model AMS efficiently and easily. Simulation results show the validity of proposed method with example of Reverse Mill Process in Automated Mill Lines.

The state feedback-based position controller for the voice coil motor(VCM) used in precise automated manufacturing processes is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed controller has advantage over the conventional cascade-type P-PI controller in terms of the gain selection and the controller interference. The feasibility of the presented idea is verified by experimental results on a designed VCM.
