Recently, consumers who prefer contactless consumption are increasing due to pandemic trends such as Corona 19. This is the driving force for developing the last mile-based logistics ecosystem centered on the online e-commerce market. Lastmile led to the continued development of the logistics industry, but increased the amount of cargo in urban area, and caused social problems such as overcrowding of logistics. The courier service in the logistics base area utilizes the process of visiting the delivery site directly because the courier must precede the loading work of the cargo in the truck for the delivery of the ordered product. Currently, it's carried out as automated logistics equipment such as conveyor belt in unloading or classification stage, but the automation system isn't applied, so the work efficiency is decreasing and the intensity of the courier worker's labor is increased. In particular, small-scale courier workers belonging to the sub-terminal unload at night at underdeveloped facilities outside the city center. Therefore, the productivity of the work is lowered and the risk of safety accidents is exposed, so robot-based loading technology is needed. In this paper, we have derived the top-level concept and requirements of robot-based loading system to increase the flexibility of logistics processing and to ensure the safety of courier drivers. We defined algorithms and motion concepts to increase the cargo loading efficiency of logistics sub-terminals through the requirements of end effector technology, which is important among concepts. Finally, the control technique was proposed to determine and position the load for design input development of the automatic conveyor system.

It is widely known that labor costs are continuously and rapidly growing in terms of the raw cost of products in Korea. The increased labor costs are degrading the competitiveness of dairy industry sector as in the other major industrial fields. Furthermore, the number of dairy farms is constantly decreasing while that of dairy cattle is increasing. Thus, mechanized and/or automated stockbreeding management systems are crucially required to support professional stockbreeding management, as well as to enhance the productivity of the sector. Hence this paper develops an IIS (Integrated Information System) for dairy cattle stockbreeding management. IIS is composed of five application modules and associated utility programs. The five modules are individual stock management, milking management, feeding management, propagation management, and disease management. The utility programs are involved in stock farm accounting, and handy unloading of individual stock data into a personal data acquisition device. Compared with existing foreign products, the developed system takes advantages of various stock body measurement data such as body weight, body temperature, milk conductivity, milking amount, and the number of walking steps. All the measured data are transmitted into a programmable logic controller that monitors and controls measurement devices. The transmitted data are finally aggregated into an integrated database located in the main personal computer. The integrated data are analyzed and reformed in the five modules of IIS, then, used for providing farmers with various farm states and information through application module scenes. Hence, IIS keeps the each module work in a systematic and compatible manner, while supervising the whole stockbreeding management system.

In this study, we developed an automated contact-type thickness measurement machine that continuously and precisely measures the thickness of a PCB module product using multi-LVDT sensors. The system contains a measurement part to automatically measure the thickness in real time according to the set conditions with an alignment supply unit and unloading unit to separate OK and NG products. The sensors were calibrated before assembly in the measuring machine, and precision and accuracy performance tests were also performed to reduce uncertainty errors in the measurement machine. In the calibration test, the precision errors of the LVDT sensor were determined to be $1-3{\mu}m$ as 0.1% at the measuring range. A measurement error of 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm thickness test standards were found to be $1{\mu}m$ and $4{\mu}m$, and the standard deviations of two 1.0 mm products were measured as $14{\mu}m$ and $8{\mu}m$, respectively. In the measurement system analysis, the accuracies of test PCB standards were found to be $2{\mu}m$ and $3{\mu}m$, respectively. From the results of gage repeatability and reproducibility (R & R) crossed, we found that the machine is suitable for the measurement and process control in the mass production line as 7.92% of total gage R & R and in seven distinct categories. The maximum operating speed was limited at 13 pcs/min, showing a value good enough to measure.

This research investigates the structural health monitoring of nonlinear structures after a major seismic event. It considers the identification of flag-shaped or pinched hysteresis behavior in response to structures as a more general case of a normal hysteresis curve without pinching. The method is based on the overall least squares methods and the log likelihood ratio test. In particular, the structural response is divided into different loading and unloading sub-half cycles. The overall least squares analysis is first implemented to obtain the minimum residual mean square estimates of structural parameters for each sub-half cycle with the number of segments assumed. The log likelihood ratio test is used to assess the likelihood of these nonlinear segments being true representations in the presence of noise and model error. The resulting regression coefficients for identified segmented regression models are finally used to obtain stiffness, yielding deformation and energy dissipation parameters. The performance of the method is illustrated using a single degree of freedom system and a suite of 20 earthquake records. RMS noise of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% is added to the response data to assess the robustness of the identification routine. The proposed method is computationally efficient and accurate in identifying the damage parameters within 10% average of the known values even with 20% added noise. The method requires no user input and could thus be automated and performed in real-time for each sub-half cycle, with results available effectively immediately after an event as well as during an event, if required.

선박 대형화는 규모의 경제 추구를 위한 글로벌 해운선사들의 생존전략이며, 이러한 전략에 따라 허브항만에서 많은 화물을 동시에 적양하하고 있다. 이러한 상황에 대응하기 위해 컨테이너터미널은 터미널 시설 확충과 장치장 공간의 효율성 및 생산성을 높이기 위한 자동화 도입을 추진하고 있다. 유럽의 항만은 지속적인 인건비 상승과 부족한 노동력 문제 해결을 위하여 자동화를 도입하였으며, 최근 세계경제의 저성장과 초대형 선박의 등장, 대기오염, 안전사고 등에 관한 문제를 해결하기 위해 미국, 중국 등 각국에서 완전자동화 컨테이너터미널 건설이 증가하고 있다. 국내 항만은 국외 완전자동화 컨테이너터미널과 비교하면 자동화 도입 초기 단계이며 변화하는 항만환경에 대한 대응책으로 자동화 도입을 추진하고 있음에도 불구하고 컨테이너터미널 관련 이해관계자의 인식에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 집단 간 인식을 파악한 결과 컨테이너터미널 운영사는 인건비 감소, 해운선사는 서비스 향상, 항운노조는 안전사고 예방, 항만공사 및 정부기관은 서비스 향상의 중요도가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 집단 간 인식을 면밀히 살펴보고자 일원배치 분산분석(One Way Anova)을 수행한 후 집단 간 이해관계를 살펴보기 위한 기초자료로써 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

본 논문은 컨테이너크레인의 흔들림제어의 한 방법으로, 이송증인 컨테이너가 임의의 이송궤적을 따라서 움직이도록 하고, 또한 트롤리 및 호이스트의 위치제어를 동시에 수행하는 가변구조제어에 관한 연구이다. 자동화터미널의 야석장에서 A지점에서 B지점으로 컨테이너를 옮기고자 할 때, 쌓여 있는 주위의 다른 컨테이너들을 피하면서 이송시키거나, 혹은 양하역 작업을 장애물이 존재하는 환경에서 수행할 때 주변의 장애물과 충돌하지 않도록 이송궤적을 만들어야 함은 필수적이다. 기존치 연구들이 무조건 흔들림이 작게끔 하는 것에 초점을 맞추었던 것에 반하여 본 논문에서는 비롯 흔들림이 발생하더라도 주어진 궤적을 추종하여 이송되게끔 하는 것에 그 특징이 있다. 트롤리 및 호이스트의 위치 및 속도오차 뿐 아니라 흔들림 각변위 및 각속도오차가 슬라이딩 평면으로 정의되며, 등속구간과 도착구간에서의 제어기가 각각 별도로 설계된다. 리아프노프 방법을 이용하여 안정성을 해석하였으며 파일럿 크레인을 이용한 실험결과를 제시한다.

The high-precision laser scriber carries out scribing alumina ceramic substrates for manufacturing ultra-small chip resistors. The ceramic substrates are loaded, aligned, scribed, transferred, and unloaded. The entire process is fully automated, thereby minimizing the scribing cycle time of the ceramic substrates and improving the throughput. The scriber consists of the laser optical system, pick-up module of ceramic substrates, pre-alignment module, TH axis drive work table, automation module for substrate loading / unloading, and high-speed scribing control S/W. The loader / unloader unit, which has the greatest influence on the scribing cycle time of the substrates, carries the substrates to the work table that carries out the cutting line work by driving the X and Y axes as well as by adsorbing the ceramic substrates. The loader / unloader unit consists of the magazine up / down part, X-axis drive part for conveying the substrates to the left and right direction, and the vision part for detecting the edge of the substrate for the primary pre-alignment of the substrates. In this paper, the laser scribing machining simulation is performed by applying the instrument mechanism of each component module. Through this study, the scribing machining process is first verified by analyzing the process operation and work area of each module in advance. In addition, the scribing machining process is optimized by comparing and analyzing the scribing cycle time of one ceramic substrate according to the alignment stage module speed.
