  • 최근의 PLC는 Ethernet 통신, Field Bus등 새로운 통신규약에 호환성을 갖고 있으며 점점 빠른 연산 속도의 초소형 PLC로 발전해 나가고 있고 공장 자동화와 FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System)에 따른 PLC의 요구는 과거 중규모 이상의 릴레이 제어반 대체 효과에서 현재 고기능화, 고속화의 추세로 소규모 정작 기계에서 대규모 시스템 설비에 이르기까지 적용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 사용되고 있는 PLC는 각 제조사마다 하드웨어형식은 유사하지만 소프트웨어형식인 제어 명령어들이 다르기 때문에 각각의 PLC마다 호환이 되지 않는다는 문제점을 가지고 있어 이 제어 명령어들의 호환성을 위한 솔루션이 필요하다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문은 IEC1131-3의 표준 언어를 중심으로 제어할 수 있는 Mo-aPLC라는 모바일 에이전트 기반의 softPLC시스템을 제안하였다. 이 시스템은 모바일 에이전트들이 지적 대리인으로서 IEC1131-3의 표준 언어를 제어시스템 제작자에게 활용되어 질 수 있는 코드인 IL언어로 변환하고 이를 랭귀지 프로그래머가 활용할 수 있는 코드인 표준 C코드로 변환하는 것이다. 이 시스템으로 인해 제어시스템 제작자와 랭귀지 프로그래머들이 활용할 수 있는 코드들이 생성되는 것과 표준 C코드로 변환함으로서 논리적인 디버깅(dubugging)이 용이하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • A practical method to investigate the sharing architecture of FMS, for small and medium enterprises, on distributed heterogeneous environmental conditions is investigated. Because the industrial FMS model requires a reasonable size for actual work-site flexible operation, the initial facility expense is very heavy. The support for flexible cooperation of FMS, with some external different FMS, can reduce expenditures and provide greater functionality. While most FMS provide their operation process using an adequate mechanism, when used in isolation, such as island of automation, there is increasing demand for FMS that can cooperate. By exchanging intermediate products and information with other external FMS, products can be produced that cannot be produced alone, such as those that require various processes. This study first considers the sharing architecture of FMS for small and medium enterprises, and investigates the effects of the general sharing architecture of FMS on distributed heterogeneous environments, by using transducer approach to agentification. In this study, set-up station or in-out station takes charge of the gateway of intermediate products, and routes them among distributed heterogeneous FMS plants. The transducer approach is applied to web agent and set-up agent established interfaces, with system controller and setup controller. In this study, the FMS-established sharing architecture is able to obtain not only the internal flexibility, but also the external flexibility.

  • 분기기 거더 경량화는 제작비 감소 및 제작의 용이함을 위해 필수적이다. 자기부상열차용 3방향 분기기 경량화를 위한 설계변수는 부상안정성과 관련 있기 때문에 신중히 결정되어야 한다. 도시형 자기부상열차는 대차가 레일을 감싸는 구조로 되어 있기 때문에 거더 높이 변경을 통해서 경량화가 가능하다. 실제 테스트베드에서 반복 주행시험을 통해 안정성을 확보해야 하지만 공간적, 비용적 제한에 의해 여러 거더 높이의 테스트베드 제작은 불가능하며 이를 보완하기 위한 설계 파라미터 연구는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 자기부상열차 주행 시 3방향 분기기 경량화에 따른 부상안정성을 고려한 설계 파라미터 연구에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 분기기 거더 높이 변경을 통해 경량화하였고 모달 중첩법을 이용하여 유연체로 모델링 하였다. 유연체 분기기와 자기부상열차 동역학 모델과의 연동해석을 통해 차량의 통과속도, 횡 공극, 부상 공극을 비교하고 부상안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 거더높이와 부상안정성과의 상관관계에 대해 분석하였다. 본 논문의 연구 결과는 자기부상열차용 분기기 설계에 활용 가능할 것이다.

  • The objective of this study is to develop an automatic object changer unit to improve processing problems existed in the conventional horizontal machining center. In order to perform this objective, a upward and downward traverse unit in which a unit that consists of a motor and reducer, chain and sprocket wheel, and upper and lower base employed in an automatic object changer unit performs sliding contact motion in a frame was designed. To achieve this design, constraint conditions for the upward and downward traverse unit first designed. Then, an operation mechanism was designed and that was introduced as a sum of kinetic energy for the sprocket wheel and upper and lower base based on the moment of inertia, which is the kinetic energy of the converted upward and downward traverse unit in the side of the reducer. In addition, The work required to rotate the converted upward and downward traverse unit in the side of the reducer by one revolution can be calculated using the sum of work that is required in the sprocket wheel and upper and lower base that is a part of the upward and downward traverse unit. Furthermore, the converted equation of motion in the side of the motor can be introduced using the equation of motion using the converted upward and downward traverse unit in the side of the motor. Then, Then, a proper motor can be determined using predetermined specifications employed in the motor and several parameters in the upward and downward traverse unit in order to verify such predetermined specifications. Also, a design of a horizontal traverse unit that performs sliding motion on a upward and downward traverse unit and simulation that verifies the results of this design are required as a future study.

  • This study explores the retail environment factors of the changes mentioned in the "Factors and Directions of the Change of the Apparel Retail Structure in Korea" (Part I) to understand the changes in apparel retail institutions. This study was done through a literature research method and the results are as follows. First, changing consumer needs and trends require extensive new products, a method to manufacture diverse products according to the market demand, and the necessity to manufacture based on trends in demand. This limits the role of mass production, which brought about more flexible manufacturing modes, scaled down manufacturing factories, promoted more cooperative subcontract relationships, and increased global sourcing which uses other companies at the most appropriate global venue. How to organize and use cooperative networks that benefit companies is the key to global competitiveness in the new era and the information technology developed around retail shops plays a key role. Consequently, the management of consumers and their information becomes critical and retail distribution functions become a key corporate function. In addition, it is difficult for small shops to introduce effective new technologies that encourage the growth of large companies. Second, apparel companies that use to benefit from scale merits based on the previous mass production system are now becoming effective by using economies of scale through mass retailing while shops are enlarging their sizes as a way to survive. On the other hand, inexpensive clothes become even more inexpensive while expensive ones become even more expensive, promoting polarization and diverse price ranges that widen consumer options.

  • Recently taping robot with smart recognition function have been studied in the coil manufacturing field. Due to the difficulty of 3D surface processing from the complicated working environment, it is not easy to accomplish smart tape attachment motion with non-contact sensor. To solve these problems the applicable surface recognition algorithm and a flexible sensing device has been recommended. In this research, the fusion method between 1D displacement and 3D laser scanner is applied for robust tape attachment about cold rolled coil. With these sensors we develop a two-step exploration and the smart algorithm for the awareness of non-aligned coil's information. In the proposed robot system for tape attachment, the problem is reduced to coil's radius searching with laser displacement sensor at first, and then position and orientation detection with 3D laser scanner. To get the movement at the robot's base frame, the hand-eye compensation between robot's end effector and sensing device should be also carried out respectively. In this paper, we examine the auto-coordinate transformation method in the calibration step for the real environment usage. From the experimental results, it was shown that the taping motion of robot had a robust under the non-aligned cold rolled coil.

  • Process capability indices are being used as indicators for measurements of process capability for SPC of quality assurance system in industries. In view of the enhancement of customer satisfaction, process capability indices in which loss functions are used to deal with the economic loss In the processes deviated from the target, are in an adequate representation of the customer's perception of quality In this connection, the loss function has become increasingly important in quality assurance. Taguchi uses a modified form of the quadratic loss function to demonstrate the need to consider the proximity to the target while assessing its quality. But this traditional quadratic loss function is inadequate to assessing the quality and quality improvement since different processes have different sets of economic consequences on the manufacturing, Thereby, a flexible approach to the development of the loss function needs to be desired. In this paper, we introduce an easily understood loss function, based on reflection of probability density function of the normal distribution. That is, the Reflected Normal Loss function can be adapted to an asymmetric loss as well as to a symmetric loss around the target. We propose that, instead of the process variation, a new capability index, CpI using the Reflected Normal Loss Function that can accurately reflect the losses associated with the process and a new capability index CpI Is compared with the classical indices as $C_{p}$ , $C_{pk}$, $C_{pm}$ and $C_{pm}$ $^{+}$.>.+/./.

  • The first national QC Circle Convention sponsored by Industry Advancement Administration in 1975 was the beginning of employees group activity from a national point view. Subsequently some events such as the first nationwide Factory Seamaul activity small Group Convention, which was supervised by the ministry of Trading and Industry and Factory Seamanulundong promotion Center, paved the way for proliferation of the group activity through all kinds of manufacturing. Although since November 1982 these two conventions has been united, many problem have been disclosed that are against the basic principle more or less. Worker's small group activity is, essentially, a trouble shooting oriented voluntary small group within their working place to improve the surroundings creatively. In practice, however, many groups are so typical and so impetuous of the material effect that it is worried to be inclined to outform rather than contents. Effective small group activities are presumed to he successful only with labor management cooperation on the basis of human-oriented management philosophy. The small group activities are also prevalent in service sector. More derivative methods have been developed and more members are willingly participating in training programs. The small group which is basically a horizontal organization unit, promotes communication within the whole organization. In consideration of the social circumstances and traditions, the flexible model of the small group activities suitable to the corporate environment, will contribute to industrial development.
