  • The purpose of this study is to clarify the reality of labor and capital productivity in the construction industry through an industry-level approach and to analyze the relationship between labor and capital productivity using a Cobb-Douglas production function. According to the research results, the construction industry has shown a very high capital productivity, while labor productivity has kept up a low level during the 1980s and 1990s. The reason was because of the lack of skillful construction workers and the decrease of capital. Meanwhile, the construction productivity has greatly increased since 2000 when there was no change in wages. This was because of a large inflow of low-wage foreign workers while the amount of value added has dramatically increased due to the liberalized sale price of apartment buildings. According to the analysis by the Cobb-Douglas production function, the elasticity coefficient of V/L to K/L in the construction industry had decreased from 1.1663 in the $1^{st}$ period(1971-1988) to 0.4465 in the $2^{nd}$ period(1989-1997), and to 0.1664 in the $3^{rd}$ period(1998-2003). Such a result means that the allocation of labor has gradually increased while the allocation of capital has decreased. Moreover there was a big increase in allocation of labor after 1998 due to the excessive deterioration of capital. In conclusion, in order to raise the construction productivity and to avoid labor-intensive production methods, investment for capital should be more increased. In particular, new machinery and equipment that can actually substitute human labor in construction sites should be more developed and applied to construction sites.

  • 다품종 소량생산이 보편화 되면서 하나의 생산라인에서 여러 종류의 제품을 교대로 생산하는 혼류생산방식이 보편화 되었다. 하지만 흐름라인 방식의 혼류생산에서는 필연적으로 작업장 간의 공정시간 불균형이 존재한다. 따라서 이러한 공정불균형에 의한 대기의 낭비를 최소화하기 위하여 기존의 흐름생산방식에서 셀생산방식으로 전환하는 시도가 빈번하게 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 굴삭기 부품을 생산하는 혼류흐름라인 방식의 자동화 로봇 용접라인을 FMC 개념의 직선형 셀방식으로 전환하는 과정에서 타당성 검토를 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행한 사례연구 결과를 소개한다. 분석결과 26.7%의 생산량 증가와 55% 이상의 리드타임 감소효과가 예상되었다. 또한 향후 제품 생산비율의 변화에 따른 민감도분석을 수행하였다.

  • 최근 중소기업은 세계적인 경쟁력을 갖추기 위해서 공정/품질/에너지 데이터 집계가 자동 또는 실시간으로 처리할 수 있는 산업 구조로 급격하게 변화하고 있다. 특히, 중소기업 생산 공정에서 생산되는 실시간 정보 분석은 중소기업의 유의미한 성과들을 분석, 예측, 처방 및 이행하는 새로운 공정 프로세스 형태로 진화해 가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 중소기업에서 생상되는 데이터를 고도화할 수 있도록 중소기업의 자동화 생산 정보 시스템을 빅데이터화 할 수 있는 플랫폼 구축 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델은 스마트한 중소기업의 데이터 수집을 위해 중소기업에서 생산되는 제품의 기본 정보에 대한 다양한 데이터를 활용해 중소기업의 운영 효율화(컨설팅 및 교육 등) 및 전략적 의사결정을 지원할 수 있는 기능이 있다. 또한, 제안 모델은 종소기업의 정보 공유 및 시스템 연계가 원활하게 서로 다른 지역적 특성 및 분야를 가지는 중소기업들간에 긴밀한 협조가 가능한 것이 특징이다.

  • 국내 PC공장은 PC 유공 슬래브를 생산하기 위해 자동화 설비를 도입하거나 매입물 삽입을 통해 중공 단면을 구현하지만 PC공장의 과다한 초기투자비용이 생산원가의 증가라는 주요 원인으로 작용하기에 다른 대안이 필요한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PC 유공 슬래브 부재 생산시 고무 튜브를 내부 속빈 공간을 형성하는 거푸집으로 사용함으로써 다양한 중공 형상의 성형 및 대단면화, 초경량화, 신속생산 대응 가능을 통한 생산성 확보에 기여하고자 한다.

  • 생산관리 시스템은 생산 공정 내의 모든 자원의 공정단위 생산계획을 현장에서 실행하는 것은 물론 생산 관련 품질 데이터까지 다루는 공장정보화시스템이다. 인공지능으로 자동화와 연결성이 극대화되는 4차 산업혁명이 화두가 되면서 제조업체들은 스마트 공장 구축에 관심을 보이나 막대한 구축비와 표준화되지 않은 생산 공정은 스마트 공장구축에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 그래서 본 논문은 노후화된 공장에서 스마트 공장 구축을 위한 제조관리 시스템을 설계 및 구현한다. 철강 선재 공정을 위한 기초 수준의 스마트 공장을 목표로 Web 기반의 제조공정 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 REST API를 사용하여 기존 구축된 ERP 시스템과의 연동을 원활히 지원할 것이며 다양한 기기와 다양한 브라우저에서 사용할 수 있도록 확장성을 고려할 것이다. 제안한 WoT 기반 생산관리시스템을 구현하여 실용성을 보이겠다.

  • $^{18}F-THK-5351$ is a PET radiotracer to image the hyperphosphorylated tau fibrillar aggregates in human brain. This protocol describes the optimized radiosynthesis of $^{18}F-THK-5351$ using a commercial GE $TRACERlab^{TM}$ $FX_{FN}$ radiosynthesis module. $^{18}F-THK-5351$ was prepared by nucleophilic [$^{18}F$]fluorination from its protected tosylate precursors, (S)-(2-(2-methylaminopyrid-5-yl)-6-[[2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)-3-tosyloxy]propoxy] quinolone(THK-5352), at $110^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in dimethyl sulfoxide, followed by deprotection with 1 N HCl. The average radiochemical yield of $^{18}F-THK-5351$ was $31.9{\pm}6.7%$(decay-corrected, n = 10), with molar activity of $198.1{\pm}33.9GBq/{\mu}mol$($5.4{\pm}0.9Ci/{\mu}mol$, n = 10). The radiochemical purity was determined to be above 98%. The overall production time including HPLC purification is approximately 70 min. This fully-automated protocol is validated for clinical use.

  • Open architecture controller (OAC) is well known technology in factory automation. To better understand the requirements of OAC, authors have discussed the OAC related topics with a number of control experts who represents different segments of the machining industry. There is no common concept that is accepted or used, however, the common ideas for OAC is the control system that is hardware independent, interchangeable, and easily scalable. This paper presents summary of the understaning and requirements of OAC. Based on the requirements of OAC, authors developed the software based PC-CNC. The main focus of the PC-CNC was on the user customization capability and open interface between control networks in manufacturing system. This paper introduces the developed PC-CNC briefly. In addition to introduction of the PC-CNC, to fill the gap between end users and vendors of OAC, this paper presents two applications using OAC. One is a remote monitoring system. The OPC (Ole for Process Control) standard interface was used to monitor the status of open architecture CNC across network. The other is the remote production management module for machine tools using standard database interface.

  • In this paper, design of an automatic grinding robot system for car brazing bead is introduced. Car roof and side panels are joined using brazing, and then the brazing bead is processed so that the bead is invisible after painting. Up to now the grinding process is accomplished manually. The difficulties in automation of the grinding process are induced by variation of position and shape of the bead and non-uniformity of the grinding area due to surface deformation. For each car, the grinding area including the brazing bead is sensed and then modeled using a 2-D optical sensor system. Using these model data, the position and the direction of discrete points on the car, body surface are obtained to produce grinding path for a 6 degrees of freedom grinding robot. During the process, it is necessary to sense the reaction forces continuously to prepare for the unexpected circumstances. In addition, to meet the line cycle time it is necessary to reduce the required time in sensing, signal processing, modeling, path planning and data transfer by utilizing real-time communication of the information. The key technique in the communication and integration of the complex information is obtaining in-field reliability. This automatic grinding robot system may be regarded as a jump in the intelligent robot processing technique.

  • A cold & hot rolling coil production line of iron nill consists of a kind of coherent automatic process, but an automatic labelling process still had technical difficulties in the automation of its process. The reason for difficulties in building an automatic process is that quantitative data for each rolled coil from every shipping is not easy to receive from the previous process. it is not possible to apply for a general and simple purpose robot that is actually worked through a taught position to the process because the size and direction of the coi1 has differed on every shipping. From these reasons. we introduce a robot vision system to accept an expected variable situation and to ensure the stability and flexibility of the process. This paper examines a study applied for similar cases and finds the position and direction of relied coil using the moment invariant algorithm proposed by Hu. In addition. the camera calibration and position error compensation algorithm is applied by the analysis of the relationship of transition in a space coordinate system. The construction of a robot vision system proposed by this paper is a more intellectual system than that of the automatic labelling system. which is already used to the Daihen steel nill of NEW JAPAN steel mill co. Ltd in Japan, and shows a better independent operation in the field of production.
