Pyroprocessing technology has been regarded as a promising solution for recycling spent fuel in nuclear power plants. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has been studying the current status of equipment and facilities for pyroprocessing and found that existing facilities are manually operated; therefore, their applications have been limited to laboratory scale because of low productivity and safety concerns. To extend the pyroprocessing technology to a commercial scale, the facility, including all the processing equipment and the material-handling devices, should be enhanced in view of automation. In an automated pyroprocessing facility, a supervised control system is needed to handle and manage material flow and associated operations. This article provides a preliminary design of the supervising system for pyroprocessing. In particular, a manufacturing execution system intended for an automated pyroprocessing facility, named Pyroprocessing Execution System, is proposed, by which the overall production process is automated via systematic collaboration with a planning system and a control system. Moreover, a simulation-based prototype system is presented to illustrate the operability of the proposed Pyroprocessing Execution System, and a simulation study to demonstrate the interoperability of the material-handling equipment with processing equipment is also provided.

Purpose This study investigates the impact of organizational characteristics on organizational performance through case studies of smart factory implementation in the context of Korean small and medium Enterprises (SMEs). To achieve this goal, this study adopts the smart factory index of KOSMO (Korea Smart Manufacturing Office) established by Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups. We visited 3 firms implemented smart factory projects. This study presents the results of field study in detail with evaluation criteria on how organizational competences like AI technology adoption and facility automation can be exploited to positively influence organizational performance through smart factory implementation. Design/methodology/approach There are not so many results of empirical studies related to smart factories in Korea. This is because organizational support and user involvement are required for facility AI platform service beyond factory automation after the start of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Korean government's KOSMO (Korean Smart Manufacturing Office) has developed and proposed a level measurement index for smart factory implementation. This study conducts case studies based on the level measurement method proposed by KOSMO in the process of conducting case studies of three companies belonging to the root and mechanic industries in Korea. Findings The findings indicate that organizational competences, such as facility AI platform adoption and user involvement, are antecedents to influence smart factory implementation, while smart factory implementation has significant relationship with organizational performance. This study provides a better understanding of the connection between organizational competences and organizational performance through smart factory case studies. This study suggests that SMEs should focus on enhancing their organizational competences for improving organizational performance through implementing smart factory projects.

스마트 공장은 미리 입력된 프로그램에 의해 생산시설이 수동적으로 움직이는 공장 자동화 작업 방식과는 달리, 생산 설비 스스로 작업 방식을 결정하여야 한다. 생산 설비 스스로 작업 방식을 결정이라 함은, 이를테면 제조 현장에서 설비의 노후, 문제 발생 예측, 제품의 불량 검출 등과 같은 이상 징후가 발생할 시 이를 조기에 발견한 후 스스로 문제를 해결하는 것을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 제조 현장의 제조 공정 이상 징후 감지를 위해 대기행렬을 이용한 제조 공정 모델링을 제시하고 해당 모델링에서 이상 징후를 기계학습 기술 중 하나인 SVM을 이용하여 이를 감지하도록 한다. 해당 대기행렬을 M/D/1을 사용하였으며, ${\mu}$, ${\lambda}$, ${\rho}$를 기반으로 컨베이어 벨트 제조 시스템을 모델링하였다. SVM을 이용하여 ${\rho}$의 변화량을 통해 이상 징후를 감지했다.

The IT project for power plants initiated domestically in 2005 necessitates the power equipment facility and the controllers for those to be sufficiently adaptable for automation system for power substations. This implies that the power plants using power equipments must be developed to satisfy the IEC61850 standards. The IEC61850 communication standards that all power equipment and facility and controllers installed in automation system for power substations must follow has had its Parts 3 and Part 4 established as international standard in January 2002 and Part 10 in May 2005, the last to become international standard. Hence all separate parts of the original IEC61850 standard came to be established as international standards. As a consequence, after 2005, in most power substations around the world the IEC61850 standard is being applied and the prominent makers are geared towards manufacturing products to the IEC61850 standard. The IEC61850 is being recognized as an essential standard that must be applied to not only power substations but for automation of power systems and communication systems. In this research, the Gateway device that connects current SCADA system and IEC61580 based system has been domesticated with Korea‘s own technology and extensive testing was carried out in order to obtain confidence in its performance.

스마트팩토리는 제조생산 전 과정이 디지털 자동화 솔루션으로 결합돼 생산성 및 품질, 그리고 고객만족도를 향상시키는 지능형 공장으로 스스로 제어할 수 있는 공장을 말한다. 독일, 유럽, 미국 등을 중심으로 전세계 제조 산업에서 급속도로 변화하고 있다. 우리 정부도 이러한 변화에 대응하기 위해 중소중견기업을 위한 스마트팩토리 보급확산 정책을 펼치고 있으며 산업자원통상부, 중소벤처기업부, 중소기업기술정보진흥원, 각 지역 테크노파크 등 관계부처 및 기관들과 삼성, SK, LG 등 대기업들이 스마트팩토리 지원 사업에 적극적인 투자를 하며 제조 스마트화에 나서고 있다[1]. 공장자동화(Factory Automation, FA) 구축에는 이기종 장비의 연결에 대해 많은 이슈들이 있다. 다양한 장비로부터의 다양한 통신 구성이 가장 힘든 측면이 그 이유이다. 같은 회사 제품들로만 구성되거나 표준안이 존재하면 모르겠지만, 오래된 장비와 최신의 장비, 사용 환경도 제각각인 장비들이 일련의 통신을 통해 통합 구축을 하려니 구축하기가 쉽지 않다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기위한 방법으로 전 세계적으로 널리 보급되어 있는 자동화 프로토콜의 하나이고, 대표적인 설비 제어시스템인 PLC의 수많은 공업 기기에서 통신표준으로 사용하고 있는 FieldBus중 하나인 Modbus를 이용하여 통신 하는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Technology has been viewed at various stages of civilization as leading to future progress. The building, its services systems and management of the work process all contribute to the well-being of people within an organization. Productivity relies on there being a general sense of high morale and satisfaction with the workplace. Now buildings are considered as providing a milieu for human creativity. Flexibility, adaptability, service integration and high standards of finishes offer an intelligence threshold. Building Automation System(BAS) - controlled lighting systems may offer incremental energy saving. Conventional Lighting control systems often control equipment in a single room or over the limited area, because they are centralized control systems, which means that all the controlled circuits must be wired to a single control panel. The computers used by these systems are typically dedicated microprocess that perform only lighting control functions. By comparison, modern Building automation systems are distributed control system, which means that their computing hardware and software are distributed as a network that microprocessor-based control modules and standard PC. PLC(Programmable Logic controller) is extensible virtually without limits, so that all the lighting in a facility can be controlled by single, unified system - the same system that also can control and monitor the building's HVAC, security, and manufacturing processed, elevators, and more. A Building automation system can control light using schedules, manual controls, occupancy sensors, and photosensors, either singly or in combination. Building Lighting control and monitoring system will be for a energy saving and efficient building management system.
