본 논문은 시뮬레이션을 기반으로 자체 구동 롤러 컨베이어 물류시스템의 전력 효율을 분석하는 연구이다. 물류 시스템의 전력 효율 향상은 온실 가스 배출과 물류 비용을 감소시키는 이점을 가져온다. 자체 구동 롤러 컨베이어는 제품이 접근할 때에만 구동이 된다. 따라서 자체 구동 롤러 컨베이어 기반 시스템은 연속 구동 롤러 컨베이어 시스템에 비해 더 적은 전력을 소비한다. 본 논문에서는 DEVS(이산 사건 기반 시스템) 기반의 시뮬레이션 시스템을 설계하고 자체 구동 롤러와 연속 구동 롤러컨베이어 모델을 구축하였다. 설계된 시뮬레이션시스템과 컨베이어 모델의 검증과 확인을 위해 우리는 실험 환경에 대응하는 물류 모델을 모델링하고 모델과 실제 시스템간의 비교를 하였다. 본 연구의 주된 목적은 시뮬레이션 방법을 사용하여 자체구동 롤러 컨베이어 기반 물류 시스템의 전력 소비의 이점을 설명하는 것이다.

This paper presents the network models for general dynamic conveyor systems which are characterized by transporting and storing materials between work stations over time. With an appropriate choice of time-slice the conveyor system can be represented exactly as a dynamic flow network which can be solved by an efficient pure network algorithm.

This paper focuses on planning strategies for object interception by the robotic manipulator on a conveyor system in minimum time. The goal is that the robot is able to intercept object with minimum time on a conveyor line that moves at a given speed. The search algorithm for minimum time solution is given in detail for all possible cases for initial locations of robot. Simulations results show the validity of the given algorithm.

This research investigates the problem of minimizing setup costs in resequencing jobs having first-in, first-out(FIFO) constraints at conveyorized production or assembly systems. Sequence changing at conveyor junctions in these systems is limited due to FIFO restriction. We first define the general problem of resequencing jobs to workstations satisfying precedence relationships between jobs(Generalized Sequential Ordering Problem, GSOP). Then we limit our scope to FIFO precedence relationships which is the conveyor selection problem at a diverging junction(Diverging Sequential Ordering Problem, DSOP), modeling it as a 0-1 integer program. With the capacity constraint removed, we show that the problem can be modeled as an assignment problem. In addition, we proposed and evaluated the heuristic algorithm for the case where the capacity constraint cannot be removed. Finally, we discuss the case study which motivated this research and numerical results.

본 논문에서는 자동화된 생산 시스템과 조립 시스템에서 반제품을 생산기기들 사 이로 운반하기 위해 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 컨베이어 (conveyor) 시스템의 이산구 조 모델을 제안한다. 조립라인과 같이 조립 기기들 사이에 반제품을 운반하는 데 걸 리는 시간이 단위공정을 수행하는 데 걸리는 시간보다 클 경우, 조립기기들의 배치와 컨베이어로 연결되는 조립기기들 사이의 거리는 전체 조립시스템의 성능에 중요한 영 향을 미치게 되므로 컨베이어 시스템의 특성을 정량적으로 분석하기 위한 모델이 필 요하다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 모델은 팔레트(pallet)를 이용하는 컨베이어 시스템에 서 각각의 컨베이어의 길이가 팔레트 길이의 정수 배이며 컨베이어의 속도가 일정하 다는 가정을 전제로 한다. 이런 가정 하에서 컨베이어 운동의 관측 시간과 컨베이어 의 길이는 양자화 될 수 있으므로 각 샘플링 시각에서의 컨베이어 시스템의 상태는 양자화된 컨베이어상의 팔레트 유무와 이 팔레트의 이동도(mobility)를 나타내는 두 가지의 Boolean 변수로 간단히 표시될 수 있다. 이 두 변수를 바탕으로 전체 컨베이 어 시스템은 생산기기들 사이의 통로인 branch와 branch의 끝점인 knot의 조합으로 구성된 network으로 모델링된다. 이 모델링 방법으로 여러 가지 모양의 컨베이어 시 스템을 모델링해 본 결과 복잡한 토폴로지의 컨베이어 시스템도 간단히 모델링 및 시 뮬레이션될 수 있었으며 공장설계, 공정제어 등의 시뮬레이션에 유용하게 이용될 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

In order to monitor the belt from being damaged by impact of large lump of materials in ores being transported on conveyor belt, we developed a conveyor belt monitoring system using vision. By the information such as the position and size of the damage of belt obtained by vision system, it is expected that not only the span of belt life will be lengthened, but also this system can enable operators to plan scheduled maintenance and prevent the enlargement of damaged parts in conveyor belt at an early stage

This paper proposes a mathematical model for converting conveyor assembly line to cellular manufacturing in complex production environments. Complex production environments refer to the situations with multi-products, variant demand, different batch sizes and the worker abilities varying with work stations and products respectively. The model proposed in this paper aims to determine (1) how many cells should be formatted; (2) how many workers should be assigned in each cell; (3) and how many workers should be rested in shortened conveyor line when a conveyor assembly line should be converted, in order to optimize system performances which are defined as the total throughput time and total labor power. We refer the model to a new production system. Such model can be used as an evaluation tool in the cases of (i) when a company wants to change its production system (usually a belt conveyor line) to a new one (including cell manufacturing); (ii) when a company wants to evaluate the performance of its converted system. Simulation experiments based on the data collected from the previous documents are used to estimate the marginal impact that each factor change has had on the estimated performance improvement resulting from the conversion.

In this paper, a design method for a logistics transportation robot based on a modular conveyor rack and path planning considering the environment of a logistics center is proposed. The driving part of the logistics transportation robot is designed and the working method of lifter for the transportation function is explained. The design of the modular conveyor rack is also described and an algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack is suggested. The $A^*$ algorithm is improved by using the concept of rotation cost and the initial state of the transportation robot's characteristics. We experimented with a four-step transportation algorithm for a logistics transportation robot using a modular conveyor rack and showed that the proposed method can be used successfully in a logistics center. In addition, we verified the effectiveness of the improved $A^*$ algorithm considering the rotation cost and the initial state of the robot.

The concept of dynamic tracking line is proposed as the feasible tracking region for a robot in a robot-conveyor system, which takes the conveyor speed into consideration. This paper presents an effective method to identify the dynamic tracking line in a robotic workcell. The maximum line speed of a robot is derived in an analytic form using the parameterized dynamics and kinematics of the manipulator, and some of its properties are established mathematically. The identification problem of the dynamic tracking line is then formulated as a root-solving problem for a single-variable equation, and solved by using a simple numerical technique. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the methodology and its applications in workspace specification.

The robot system which can handle a stream of randomly positioned parts on a conveyor belt system, is developed. It is composed of a PUMA 560 robot, a conveyor belt system and a vision system. The performance of the overall system is mainly dependent upon the robot and vision system interface technique. A vision algorithm is developed to determine the position, orientation and type of the part. Calibration procedure and the vision-to-robot transformation are also proposed. Experimental results are then presented and discussed.
