The computerized automation of modern manufacturing system is tremendously important for the cost reduction. Recently, the automation is being realized by Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) concept and the unmanned factory is the final goal of the automation. The automation of the low level of factory is the most crucial and difficult aspect in total CIM environment since various machines are involved. A cell is defined as a manufacturing group of closely related machineries in the entire factory hierarchy, The management scheme for a cell controller is defined from the software viewpoint. The domain of a cell is designed with tasks(processes) in a multiple-task operating system. The operation of the cell is established by defining schemes for overall control of the cell domain, databases, job scheduling, communications within the domain, user-interface and communications with outside machines. Although the software is developed in a specific operating system and WINDOW facilities, the operating strategies can be applied globally.

In this study, we describe a new approach to real-time implementation of working path control for the forging and casting manufacturing process by vertical type articulated robot system. The proposed control scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, and useful for real-time control of factory automation based on robot system. Moreover, this scheme does not require any accurate parameter information, nor values of the uncertain parameters and payload variations. Reliability of the proposed controller is proved by simulation and experimental results for robot manipulator consisting of arm with six degrees of freedom under the variation of payloads and tracking trajectories in Cartesian space and joint space. The vertical type articulated robot manipulator with six axes made in SMEC Co., Ltd. has been used for real-time implementation test to illustrate the enhanced working path control performance for unmanned automation of the forging and casting manufacturing process.

무인 운반설비의 자동화 시스템 개발의 한 부분으로써 Stereo vision system에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. Stereo vision system에서는 영상을 통해 특정 물체를 검색하고 검색된 물체 정보를 기반으로 Edge를 추출하고, 추출된 Edge를 이용하여 물체의 위치적 특징을 찾고 무인크레인이 이동해야할 위치좌표를 전달한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 산업현장에 가장 보편적인 형상인 Slab와 Coil을 기준으로 두 대의 CCD camera를 이용하여 물체의 형상을 인식하고, 무인크레인의 Hookblock부분이 물체의 중심점을 찾는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 Stereo vision system의 카메라 설치 위치에 따라 직교식과 수평식으로 2가지의 방식을 제안, 실험을 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 무인 운반설비의 자동화 시스템 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose a new approach to design and control a smart gripper of robot system. A control method for flexible grasping a object in partially unknown environment was proposed, where a proximate sensor detecting the distance between the fingertip and object was used. Based on the proximate sensor signal the finger motion controller could plan the grasping process divided in three phases. The first step is scanning process which two first joints were moved to mid-position of the detected range by a state-variable feedback position controller, after the scanning was finished. The contact force of fingertip was then controlled using the detection sensor of the servo controller for finger joint control. The proposed grasping planning was tested on rectangular bar.

In manufacturing companies, different types of production have been developed based on diverse production strategies and differentiated technologies. The production systems have become smart, factories are filled with unmanned manufacturing lines, and sustainable manufacturing technologies are under development. Nowadays, the digital manufacturing technology is being adopted and used in manufacturing industries. When this technology is applied, a lot of efforts, time and cost are required and training professionals in-house is limited. In this paper, we introduce e-FEED system (electronic based Front End Engineering and Design) that is the integrated design and analysis system for optimized manufacturing line development on virtual environment. This system provides the functions that can be designed easily using library and template based on standardized modules and analyzed automatically the logistic and capacity simulation by one-click and verified the result using visual reports. Also, we can review the factory layout using automatically created 3D virtual factory and increase the knowledge reuse by e-FEED system.

To keep pace with Industry 4.0, it is imperative for companies to redesign their working environments by adopting robotic automation systems. Automation lines are facilitating the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D vision and industrial robots, to outdo competitors by reducing costs. Considering the nature of the manufacturing industry, a time-saving workflow and smooth linkwork between processes is vital. At Dellics, without any additional new installation in the automation lines, only a few improvements to the working process could raise productivity. Three requirements are the development of gripping technology by utilizing a 3D vision system for the recognition of the material shape and location, research on lighting projectors to target long distances and high illumination, and testing of algorithms/software to improve measurement accuracy and identify products. With some of the functional requisites mentioned above, improved robotic automation systems should provide an improved working environment to maximize overall production efficiency. In this article, the ways in which such a system can become the groundwork for establishing an unmanned working infrastructure are discussed.
