버퍼는 생산시스템에서 시스템내의 기계고장, 프로세스시간의 변화, 그리고 부품들의 이동경로의 복잡성 등과 같은 요인들로 인해 발생 가능한 blocking현상과 starving현상을 감소시키는데 사용되고 있다. 유연 생산시스템(Flexible Manufacturing System)에서는 버퍼의 단위당 비용이 높아 시스템내의 총 버퍼 크기는 제한적이어서, 적절한 버퍼 관리를 통해 시스템 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 버퍼의 특성을 분석하고 AGVS(Automated Guided Vehicle System)을 사용하는 다중셀방식의 FMS(multi-cell Flexible Manufacturing Systems) 환경에서의 버퍼관리와 관련된 기존 연구들을 검토하고, 새로운 개념의 가상시스템버퍼를 소개한다.

This paper presents a hierarchical real-time operation control and monitoring scheme of the FMS/CIM center which has been implemented at the Automation and Systems Research Institute of Seoul National University. The hierarchical structure of the whole scheme consists of three lavers. The upper layer is in charge of on-line scheduling, computer network control, shop-floor monitoring and command generation for AGV dispatching, machining, assembly, inspection, set-up, etc. The middle layer has six modules, which are installed in the FMS host computer with the upper layer and run on the multi-tasking basis. Each module is connected to one of six cell controllers distributed in the FMS model plant and transfers operation command down to each cell controller through the Ethernet/TCP-IP local area network. The lower layer is comprised of six cell control software modules for machining cell, assembly cell, inspection cell, set-up stations. AS/RS and AGV. Each cell controller reports the status of the manufacturing facilites to the middle layer as well as ecxecuting the appropriate sequence control of the manufacturing processes.

The demand for automatic manufacturing systems is increasing. Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS) is usually considered as a soluting for the shop floor automation. One of the difficulties in FMS is the communications problem. Since various machineries with different communications protocoles are included, applying a unified scheme is almost impossible. Therefore, a systematic approach is a key point to solve the communication problem. A cell is difined as an automation unit where closely related for a job reside together. A cell is a messenger between upper level computers and lower level machine equipment. In this research, the fonctions of the cell are defined to have more capabilities than conventional cells since a cell can be often a total manufacturing system is a small to medium sized factory. The cell conducts communications with different machines through the communications schemes established here. A set of software system has been developed according to the defined communication. The software has been tested for a simulation and real experiments for proof.

A flexible robotic assembly cell is modeled using Petri net. A simulator is developed and used to predict the optimal status of the system. The assembly cell of flexible manufacturing system(FMS) pilot plant of Automation and Systems Research Institute(ASRI) in Seoul National University is modeled. The system consists of 3 robots, 4 conveyors, automatic guided vehicle(AGV) and auto-stacker. The simulator is programmed in Turbo C on IBM PC, supporting a simple graphic simulation with pull-down menu. The flexibility of the assembly cell in the FMS plant is guaranteed, since it is possible to predict the optimal status of the system using this simulator.

Manganese dioxide ($MnO_2$) is one of the most important cathode materials used in both aqueous and non-aqueous batteries. The $MnO_2$ polymorph that is used for lithium primary batteries is synthesized either by electrolytic (EMD-$MnO_2$) or chemical methods (CMD-$MnO_2$). Commonly, electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) is used as a cathode mixture material for dry-cell batteries, such as a alkaline batteries, zinc-carbon batteries, rechargeable alkaline batteries, etc. The characteristics of lithium/manganese-dioxide primary cells fabricated with EMD-$MnO_2$ powders as cathode were compared as a function of the parameters of a manufacturing process. The flexible primary cells were prepared with EMD-$MnO_2$, active carbon, and poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder (10 wt.%) coated on an Al foil substrate. A cathode sheet with micro-porous showed a higher discharge capacity than a cathode sheet compacted by a press process. As the amount of EMD-$MnO_2$ increased, the electrical conductivity decreased and the electrical capacity increased. The cell subjected to heat-treatment at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr showed a high discharge capacity. The flexible primary cell made using the optimum conditions showed a capacity and an average voltage of 220 mAh/g and 2.8 V, respectively, at $437.5{\mu}A$.

The demand for automatic manufacturing systems is incerasing. Computer Integrated Manufacturing(CIM) technology is believed to be a solution for the problem to enhance productivities and flexibilities. Although researches on CIM have been conducted treendously, application of the technology is not widely accepted yet. The CIM research on the shop floor starts with the Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS). One of the crucial obstacles to the FMS is the lack of excellent strategies for efficient operations. The aim of this research is constructing an automation scheme in the low level of factories where various machinaries are involved. An operating strategy is established for an automation unit named as a cell which resides between the upper level computers and manufacturing shop floor. The cell is defined to fit into the total manufacturing system. The defined cell has more functions than conventional cells. A scheduling scheme is adopted for the shop floor operations. A set of software has been developed and tested through simulations and shop floor experiments.

The conductive coating method was used for a various industrial fields. For example, Sputtering process is using to a coat of ITO layer in LCD or OLED panel manufacture process and fabricate a base layer of substrate of an electric printing device. However, conventional coating process (beam sputtering, spin coating etc.) has a problems in the industrial manufacturing process. These processes have a very high cost and critical manufacturing environment as a vacuum process. Recently, many researchers were proposed a various printing process instead of conventional coating process. In this paper, we propose an ESD printing process in ITO coating layer and apply to fabricate a conductive coating film. Ours transparent electrode had a surface resistance of about $66{\Omega}/{\square}$ and transparent of 74% in the wavelength of 500nm. This transparent electrode manufacturing process will be applied to Roll-to-Roll process. In addition, we developed roll printing process system for the next generation flexible solar cell.

In this study, we discuss the design of the expert system for the scheduling of the FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cell) consisting of the several versatile machines. Due to the NP property, the scheduling problem of several machine FMC is very complex task. Thus we proposed the two heuritstic shceduling algorithms for solving the problem and constituted the algorithm based of solving the problem and constituted the algorithm base of ISS(Intelligent Scheduling System) using them. By the rules in the rule base, the best alternative among various algorithms in algorithm base is selected and applied in controlling the FMC. To show the efficiency of ISS, the scheduling output of ISS and the existent dynamic dispatching rule were tested and compared. The results indicate that the ISS is superior to the existent dynamic dispatching rules in various performance indexes.

본 연구는 FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cell)에 있어 상호 간섭이 없는 부품의 흐름을 제어하기 위한 교착제거방법(Deadlock Avoidance Method)에 대한 제안으로서, 이 방법이 주요한 장점은 첫째, FMC의 환경을 쉽게 적용시킬 수 있고 둘째, 공정상의 부품에 대한 dispatching 모듈이 협력하도록 설계되어 있다는 것이다. 교착제거방법은 두 개의 모듈로 구성되어 있는데 이는 순환발견알고리즘(A Cycle Detection Algorithm)과 원료주문 정책으로서, 특이할 만한 사항은 순환발견알고리즘을 채용하더라도 원료주문정책이 잘못될 수 있기 때문에 교착제거방법에 있어서 원료주문정책은 매우 중요하다는 것이다. 이를 위하여 교착전의 N-step 교착을 제거하고, 발견할 수 있는 교착제거방법과 N-step의 사전주무정책을 제시하였다.
