The most important job in the container terminal area is to handle the cargo effectively in the limited time. To achieve this object, many strategies have been introduced and applied to. If we consider the automated container terminal, it is necessary that the cargo handling equipments are equipped with more intelligent control systems. From the middle of the 1990's, an automated rail-mounted gantry crane(RMGC) and rubber-tired gantry crane(RTG) have been developed and widely used to handle containers in the yards. Recently, in these cranes, the many equipments like CCD cameras and sensors are mounted to cope with the automated terminal environment. In this paper, we try to support the development of more intelligent automated cranes which make the cargo handling be performed effectively in the yards. For this plant, the modelling, tracking control, anti-sway system design, skew motion suppressing and complicated motion control and suppressing problems must be considered. Especially, in this paper, the system modelling and tracking control approach are discussed. And, we design the tracking control system incorporating an observer based on the 2DOF servo system design approach to obtain the desired state informations. In the case of observer design, a weighted $H_{\infty}$ error bound approach for a state estimator is considered. Based on an algebraic Riccati equation(inequality) approach, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a full-order estimator which satisfies the weighted $H_{\infty}$ error bound is introduced. Where, the condition for existence of the estimator is denoted by a Linear Matrix Inequality(LMI) which gives an optimized solution and observer gain. Based on this result, we apply it to the tracking control system design for the transfer crane.

The automated die design program is developed for cold forging of axisymmetric parts which are mainly produced by forward extrusion, backward extrusion, composite extrusion and upsetting. For this study, firstly classification of forged parts and investigation of die construction type usually employed in forging industry are carried out and the most proper type from several kinds of die construction is proposed as a standardized one. Based on the die design rules summarized in the references such as handbooks, technical papers, monthly journals, etc. the automated die design program was made using AutoLISP language available in AutoCAD software of personal computer. This program interactively runs for only input data, for example, forging process, shape of forged parts, type of punch, split of die insert and design of shrinkage rings and then displays details of drawings necessary to make a forging die. When a variety of forging processes and forged parts are tested to examine the validity of this program, it was confirmed to give good results applicable to the forging die design in press shop.

최근 건설현장에서는 기능인력 수급의 어려움과 숙련공의 노령화의 해법으로 건설 자동화가 추진되고 있다. 현재 국내 건설자동화 연구수준은 작업 단위의 로봇을 통한 부분 자동화의 단계를 넘어 완전한 자동화로 건설할 수 있는 시스템 개발의 단계에 접어들고 있다. 하지만 완전한 건설 장비를 갖춘 자동화 시공 시스템일지라도 시공자의 유연성을 완전히 모방하기 어렵고, 부재 종류의 다양한 변화에 빨리 대처할 수 있는 능력이 부족하다. 따라서 자동화 시공 시스템의 작업 능력을 향상시킬 수 있고, 자동화된 시공 작업에 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 방법 중의 한 가지는 자동화 시공하기에 쉬운 부재를 설계해 주는 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 자동화 시공 시스템에 적합한 부재를 설계하기 위하여 품질기능전개(QFD)기법을 적용한 디자인 개발 프로세스를 제시하였다. 이를 통해 시공 자동화 시스템의 효율성을 향상시켜 건설자동화 기술 발전에 기여하고자 한다.

This paper proposes an evolutionary computation approach for automated design of mechanical structures especially in its early stage of design phases. Due to the known characteristics of the stage, the approach basically involves a synthetic design method with the composition of building blocks representing the elements of mechanical objects. In order for the building blocks to be more suitable for representation and evolution of mechanical structures, Elementary Cell Blocks (ECBs) are introduced as new building blocks. A new Darwinian evolution process for the new building blocks is also necessarily involved in the approach. We have demonstrated the implementation of the approach with the design of multi-step gear systems.

This paper describes the application of discrete event systems theory to the design of an automated laboratory system. Current automated laboratory systems typically consist of several interacting processes that must be carefully sequenced to avoid any possible process conflicts. Discrete Event Systems (DES) theory and Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) can be applied together as effective methods of modeling the system dynamics and designing supervisory controllers to precisely sequence the many processes that such systems might involve. Classical approaches to supervisory controller design tend to result in complex controller structures that are difficult to implement, maintain, and upgrade. In this paper, a new approach to designing supervisory controllers for automated laboratory systems is introduced. This new approach uses a modular controller structure that is easier to implement, maintain, and upgrade, and deals with "state explosion" issues in a novel and efficient way.

In response to the industrial needs for automated handling of very thin solar cell wafers, this paper presents the design concept for the individual wafer separation from the stacked wafers by utilizing continuous water jet. The experimental apparatus for automated wafer separation was constructed and it includes the water jet system and the microprocessor controlled wafer stack advancing system. Through a series of tests, the performance of the proposed design is quantified into the success rate of single wafer separation and the rapidity of processing wafer stack. Also, the inclination angle of wafer equipped cartridge and the water jet flowrate are found to be important parameters to be considered for process optimization. The proposed design shows the concept for fast and efficient processing of wafer separation and can be implemented in the automated manufacturing of silicon based solar cell wafers.

최근의 자동물류센터는 자동창고(ASRS)와 자동주행대차(AGV)를 중심으로 각종 컨베이어시스템과 운반장치 등으로 구성되면서 매우 복잡한 시스템 형태를 갖게 되었다. 이러한 시스템의 복잡성에 기인하여 시스템 설계과정에서의 정확한 운영 수행도 파악을 위해서는 많은 종류의 설계변수들이 고려되어야 한다. 물류센터 설계에서 고려해야할 일반적인 설계 변수로는 보관설비 및 운반설비의 사양과 여러 가지 시스템 운영 규칙, 보관영역이나 보관물의 형태 등이 있다. 이 논문에서는 자동화물류센터에 대하여 시뮬레이션 실험과 반응표면모델을 이용하여 메타모델을 만들고 이를 통하여 설계변수들을 최적화하는 효율적인 방법에 대하여 소개 하고자 한다. 정확하게 정의된 시뮬레이션 기반의 메타모델은 시스템 함수의 근사적 표현으로서 수리적 계산을 통해 신속한 설계변수 최적화를 가능하게 한다. 이 논문에서 제시한 접근 방법은 자동물류센터와 같은 복잡한 물류 시스템의 설계 단계에서 시뮬레이션의 설계 참여도를 극대화시키고 최종 설계의 정확도를 향상시키는데 기여 할 것이다.

The main subject to become a hub port is automation. The automated container terminal has already operated in advanced ports and it has been planned for the basic planning and operation design in domestic case. The key of automated container terminal is effective operation of both ATC(automated transfer crane) and AGV(automated guided vehicle) which is automated handling equipments. This is essential to productivity of automated container terminal. This study suggests the most optimal method of equipment operation in order to minimize loading time using each three types of effective ATC operation methods and AGV dispatching rules in automated container terminals. As the automated equipment operation causes unexpected deadlocks or interferences, it should be proceeded on event-based real time. Therefore we propose the most effective ATC operation methods and AGV dispatching rules in this paper. The various states occurred in real automated container terminals are simulated to evaluate these methods. This experiment will show the most robust automated equipment operation method on various parameters(the degree of yard re-marshaling, the number of containers and AGV)
