As emerging the '4th Industrial Revolution' by increasing the necessity of the intelligent system recently, 'Autonomic Control System' also has been the important issue. It is necessary to develop the system collecting data of machines and sensors for the autonomic control system to monitor the target system. But it is difficult to collect data because data formats of machines and sensors of the existing factories differ between each manufacturer. Therefore, this paper presents and implements data collecting and processing system that comprise 3 steps including 'ParseBuffer', 'ProcessData' and 'AddToBuffer' by using 'MTConnect' that is standard manufacturing facility data collecting middleware. Through the suggested system, we can get data in a common format usable in an autonomous control system. As a case study, we experimented with the generation and collection of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) data, which is an unattended transportation system in the factory. To accomplish this, we defined the data type in accordance with the MTConnect standard and confirmed the data collected through the proposed system.

In automated manufacturing systems, Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) Systems are increasingly important in material handling and manufacturing operations. A considerably flexible AGV system needs to be operated with maximum effectiveness. This paper develops an algorithm for the determination of the entering point and the number of AGVs required in the Flow Shop Type FMS. We consider an AGV used as a carrier and mobile workstation. For the limited number of AGV, the entering point of an AGV on a simple loop is determined in order to maximize the utilization of AGVs. For the unlimited number of AGVs, the number of AGVs required in the FMS is determined on the basis of the entering point of AGVs. The result by the algorithm may be used as a criterion on the control of material flow and the assignment of AGVs in the FMS. A numerical example is given to illustrate the algorithm.

It is essential to construct on efficient material flow system for the successful introduction of automated manufacturing systems. Automated Guided Vehicle System(AGVS) ploys a significant role more and more in modern manufacturing environments, because of the flexibility and the precision they offer. However, as the size and the complexity of systems increase, the problems of dispatching, routing and scheduling of AGVs became complicated due to their independent and asynchronous demands. In this paper, we review relevant papers, and provide a new and more efficient method for partitioning the AGV system by introducing the concept of Central Path. This method named Central Path design has advantages, since each partitioned workstation group is served by one AGV and the material handling between groups is performed by special AGV that is used for the Central Path. Therefore the congestion problems never occur. Furthermore Central Path Design has a high flexibility for alteration and extension of system. Finally, we demonstrate its efficiency using simulation.

자동화 컨테이너터미널은 ATC(Automated Transfer Crane)와 AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle)와 같은 자동화 운송 장비를 사용하는 컨테이너터미널이다. 이러한 자동화 컨테이너터미널의 핵심은 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 효율적인 장비 운영이 결정적인 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 AGV의 이동 위치 결정을 위한 RTK-GPS(Real Time Kinematic-Global Positioning System) 위치 정보 전송 및 운용 방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 이를 위해서 기존의 무선모뎀을 이용한 RTK-GPS 전송 방법을 무선 LAN(Local Area Network) 환경에서 RTK-GPS 위치 정보 전송 방법에 대해서 제안하고, AGV 이동 위치 결정 및 계산을 실험하였다.

The focus of this study is to represent a methodology of analysis for integrated logistic system by means of the Evolution Strategies and Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). The integrated logistic system is composed of AS/RS (Automated Storages and Retrieval System), AGVs(Automated Guided Vehicle System) and Conveyor System. We design the simulation alternatives with choosing the qualitative critical factors for the each subsystem. Evolution Strategies is used to optimize the quantitative critical factors and responses of each alternative. DEA is applied to measure the efficiency of the alternatives in order to select the optimal operation efficiency scheme. The method of analysis which combines Evolution Strategies with DEA can be used to analyze the qualitative and quantitative critical factors in the integrated logistic systems.

An AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) where is running on production automated system is related efficiency of production system similarly. On previous study proposed a path collision avoidance algorithms using shortest path of AGV. Running time about loading and unloading with shortest path of AGV is important factor to decide the production system efficiency. In this paper, we propose a method of shortest path and shortest time. Also propose the decision making method of collision avoidance position for setup a shortest runway for next command. To do verify the proposed method consist a simulation for AGV. Finally, we compare and analyse the proposed system between the existing system and show that our system can effectively the performance.

4차 산업환경에서 스마트 팩토리는 자동 자재 관리 시스템(Automated Material Handling System, AMHS)의 사용이 증가되고 있으며, 이로 인한 자재 관리의 효율성이 중요시되고 있다. 자동 무인 운반차(Automated Guided Vehicle, AGV)는 이러한 분야에 활용성이 높기 때문에 많은 연구와 발전이 이루어지고 있다[1]. 기존의 AGV System에 대한 연구들은 운영 방식 그리고 경로 유도 방식에 대한 연구가 집중되고 있어서, 실질적인 산업현장에서 요구하는 가격 절감에 대한 연구가 부족한 상황이다[2]. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AGV를 구동시키기 위해서 2개의 BLDC Motor를 하나의 DSP로 구현하는, 새로운 형태의 BLDC Motor 구동방식을 제안하고 실험으로 확인하였다.

Two representative types of the AGT (Automated Guideway Transit) system, which are bogie and steering types, are available for the side-guided system. Each system primarily consists of the bogie frame, suspensions, wheelsets and axles, braking system and transmission system. Among these components, the bogie frame is one of the most significant components subjected to the whole vehicle and passenger loads. This paper describes structural analyses and associated fatigue analyses for each bogie frame depending on the various loading conditions on a basis of the railway vehicle code UIC 515-4. Subsequently, comparisons are made between those two types to estimate which type is more reliable in terms of strength and fatigue. It is observed that the bogie type is a little advantageous over the steering one from the strength analysis. However, the two types are found to be in a reliable range of fatigue even though a realistic fatigue load case is further carried out. In addition, an optimal size of thickness is suggested for designs of the bogie frame.

The major movement blocks of the container are the range between the apron and the designation points on yard in container terminals. The yard tractor drived by operator takes charge of it's movement in conventional container terminals. In automated container terminal, AGV(automatic guided vehicle) takes charge of a yard tractor's role and information of navigation path are ordered from upper control system. The automated container terminal facilities must have the docking system that guides landing zinc to execute high speed travelling and precision positioning. This paper describes the new docking method with the rotating LSB(laser slit beam) generator and two pair of photo receiver. The LSB generator is installed on the fixed ground and the photo receiver is implemented on the moving vehicle such as AGV. The proposed docking system is implemented to confirm it's function and accuracy. The accuracy of measured moving position is represented in ±5mm at 1 data sampling.
