기존 스마트팜 기술은 수요자 중심이 아닌 대량 생산을 목적으로 시스템화 되어왔다. 이는 고령화에 따른 실질적 농촌 환경에 적용되기에는 경제적인 측면 등의 많은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 농촌 지역 인구의 고령화로 인한 적용성을 전제로 스마트팜 기술을 적용하고자 한다. 뜨거워지는 폭염으로 인해 일반적인 온실재배시설의 농작물들은 일소 피해와 시들어 말라가는 경우가 많았다. 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 온습도 환경을 조절해주거나 차광막을 설치해주어야 한다. 하지만 현재 농촌의 작업자들 나이가 점점 증가하고 있고, 홀로 농사를 짓는 고령자가 대다수여서 많은 일을 혼자 감당하기에는 어려움이 많다. 그리고 신체가 연약한 사람들의 경우, 무거운 짐을 옮기다가 자칫 안전사고로 이어질 위험이 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점들을 개선하고 예방하기 위해 기존의 스마트팜 온실 내부에 작업자를 추종하는 소형 스마트 차량을 적용한 '자동 운반 기능이 가능한 스마트팜' 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 스마트 온실 환경제어 기능을 수행하며, 고랑마다 레일을 설치하고 작업자를 추종하는 차량이 있는 스마트팜이며, 어플리케이션을 통해 직접 온실과 차량을 원격으로 수동 제어할 수 있다.

The important goal of the unmanned vehicle technology is on controlling the direction and speed of the vehicle with information acquired from various sensors, without the intervention of the driver, until the vehicle reaches to its destination. In this paper, our focus is on developing an unmanned conveyance system by exploiting low-cost sensing technology for indoor factories or warehouses, where the moving range of the vehicle is limited. To this end, we propose an architecture of a scalable automated conveyance system. Our proposed system includes a number of unmanned conveyance vehicles, and the efficient control mechanism of the vehicles without neither conflicts nor deadlock between the vehicles being simultaneously moved. By implementing the real prototype of the system, we successfully verify the efficiency and functionality of the proposed system.

This study is to choose the most proper model for AGV throughout simulation of behavior of suspension to reduce trial and error because there is no AGV treating heavy weight at harbor loading and unloading at home. Therefore, we estimate the vibration modes of the various suspensions applied to AGV, which is over 75 ton included the weight of two containers using the Matlab in the case of G and 5G, one of the simulation programs.

본 논문은 Overhead Hoist Transport(OHT)를 운반 장비로 사용하는 반도체 생산 라인 자동물류시스템에서의 차량배차문제를 다룬다. 고려하는 반도체 라인은 18 개의 bay 와 6 개의 stoker 로 구성되며 160 대 이상의 OHT를 가진다. 자동물류시스템은 최소한의 OHT 대수로 하루 100,000 건의 웨이퍼를 이동시켜야 하며 반송시간과 편차를 최소화하여야 한다. 전통적인 차량배차규칙에서는 차량이 어떤 작업에 할당되면 그 관계가 변하지 않는 반면, 본 연구에서는 시스템 상황의 변화에 따라 차량을 작업에 재할당하는 방법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법을 shortest travel distance first 규칙과 비교한 결과, 필요한 OHT 대수, 반송시간과 반송시간의 편차 측면에서 획기적인 효용성 향상을 보였다.

A unit-load automated guided vehicle system is considered in which a single vehicle is operated on a unidirectional path in a closed loop. The vehicle serves a manufacturing cell moving pallets from one station to another based on the "First-Encountered-First-Serve" dispatching rule. An approximation method is developed to compute the mean waiting time of an arbitrary pallet at each station. Extensive numerical experiments, performed for various problems, yield fairly good results in most of the cases compared with those obtained by simulation method.

A new policy to determine the waiting position of an idle Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) is proposed and its performance is compared with the existing waiting position policies. Unlike the existing policies, the queue length in the input buffer is considered in the new policy. As a result, the waiting position based on the new policy depends on the status of the system. The simulation result indicates that the proposed policy reduces the waiting time in both the input and the output buffers significantly, regardless of the number of AGVs in the system. Therefore, the manufacturing lead time can be minimized.

We present an approximate analytical model to estimate throughput capacity and expected waiting times for move requests of an Automated Guided Vehicle System(AGVS) used in manufacturing. This analytical model considers an empty vehicle dispatching rule, namely, the First-Come-First-Served(FCFS) rule. The performance of the analytical model is tested extensively through simulation. Using this model one can rapidly evaluate a wide range of handling and layout alternatives for given flow data. Hence, the model would be most effective when used early in the design phase to narrow down the set of alternative handling systems and configurations prior to simulation.

This purpose of this paper was to review the development trend of the VTOL MAVs with a ducted propellant that can fly like the VTOL at intermediate and high speeds, hovering, landing, and lifting off vertically over urban areas, warships, bridges, and mountainous terrains. The MAV differs in flight characteristics from helicopters and fixed wings in many respects. In addition to enhancing thrust, the duct protects personnel from accidental contact with the spinning rotor. The purpose of the U.S. Army FCS and DARPA's OAV program is spurring development of a the VTOL ducted MAV. Today's MAVs are equipped with video/infrared cameras to hover-and-stare at enemies hidden behind forests and hills for approximately one hour surveillance and reconnaissance. Class-I is a VTOL ducted MAV developed in size and weight that individual soldiers can store in their backpacks. Class-II is the development of an organic VTOL ducted fan MAV with twice the operating time and a wider range of flight than Class-I. MAVs will need to develop to perch-and-stare technology for lengthy operation on the current hover-and-stare. The near future OAV's concept is to expand its mission capability and efficiency with a joint operation that automatically lifts-off, lands, refuels, and recharges on the vehicle's landing pad while the manned-unmanned ground vehicle is in operation. A ducted MAV needs the development of highly accurate relative position technology using low cost and small GPS for automatic lift-off and landing on the landing pad. There is also a need to develop a common command and control architecture that enables the cooperative operation of organisms between a VTOL ducted MAV and a manned-unmanned ground vehicle.

AGV systems are widely used to increase the flexibility and the efficiency of the material handling systems. AGV systems are one of critical factors which determine the overall performance of the manufacturing systems. To this end, the optimal design for AGV systems is essential. Commercial simulation software is often used as an analysis tool during the design of AGV systems, however a series of procedures are desirable to simplify the analysis processes. In this paper, we present and develop the architecture for unidirectional AGV systems simulator which is able to consider approximate optimal unidirectional flow path and various operational parameters. The designed AGV systems simulator is based on JAVA, and it is developed to support designing approximate optimal unidirectional network by using Tabu search method. In addition, it enables users to design and evaluate AGV systems and to analyze alternative solutions easily. Simulation engine is consists of layout designer, AGV operation plan designer, and integrated AGVS layout designer. Users enter their system design/operation information into input window, then the entered information is automatically utilized for modeling and simulating AGV systems in simulation engine. By this series of procedures, users can get the feed back quickly.
