The paper provides a methodology to obtain the automaticity indicator of a factory and the sequence of enabling technologies of factory automation. The automaticity indicator is the measure of the current automation status of a factory and can be used as a crucial criteria for the future automation schedule and investment. Although most industries have their own computation methods which usually consider the number of workers in the shop floor, this research covers five evaluation items of automation, such as, production facility, material transfer system, inspection and test system, information system, and flexibility. The detailed evaluation models are developed for each item. Automation sequencing prioritizes the enabling technologies of factory automation on the basis of several criteria which consist of two phases. The first phase includes the automation indicator and the second phase includes six sub-criteria such as production rate, quality, number of workers, capital investment, development duration, development difficulty. For this evaluation, AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) is introduced to prevent the decision maker's subject intention. As results of the automaticity indicator and automation sequence, the manager can save time and cost in building constructive and transparent automation plans.

Recently, a research on a smart factory was developed from a concept of factory automation(FA) to the formation of collecting and analyzing data. This trend is accelerated as the development of communication technology(5G) and IoT devices are developed in various ways according to the field situation. In addition, digital transformation has been actively conducted in the strengthening corporate competitiveness, and various optimization studies are being conducted through process re-adjustment by combining data received from various IoT equipment and automated facilities. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system architecture and its related components in diagnosing and repairing facility failure using a prediction system which is one of the related researches.

Currently, the needs of open standard and integrated network, and also applications of Ethernet network based system are increasing. By applying and expanding TCP/IP based network technology from high to low control level, factory automation application has been implemented, and thus integrated factory automation system has been accomplished, which is directly interoperable between high level management program and DB system. This paper proposes a communication control device which is based on Ethernet/IP standard system for factory automation. The proposed system is workable in the environment of a network system, which is based on CIP standard interface technology. The proposed system can also contribute to improve data communication characteristics.

The domestic smart factory is being built and spread rapidly, mainly by mid-sized companies and large enterprises according to the government's active introduction and support policy. But these factories only promote production system and efficiency, so harmfulness and risk factors are not considered. Therefore, to derive harmful risk factors in terms of industrial safety for 12,983 government-supported smart factory workplaces from 2014 to 2019, industrial accident status analysis compared workplaces with automation facilities and government-supported workplaces with automation facilities. Also, to reduce risks associated with domestic smart factory processes, twenty government-supported workplaces with automation facilities underwent analysis, evaluating risks through a status survey using the process evaluation table. In addition, the status survey considered region, size, industry, construction level, and accident rate; the difference in risk according to the structure of the process was confirmed. Based on the smart factory process evaluation results, statistical analysis confirmed that serial, parallel, and hybrid structures pose different risk levels and that the risks of mixed structures are greater. Finally, safety control system application was presented for risk assessment and reduction in the smart factory process, reflecting the results of disaster analysis and actual condition investigation.

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.

The productivity is the one of the primary elements to evaluate the new systems performance for building construction along with the economic efficiency, the safety, and the quality improvement. At present the on-site construction automation systems(we will call it as Construction Factory or CF hereafter) is under the development by research group for construction automation of high-rise building. The system includes many sub-systems such as a robotic crane, a construction factory, bolting robots, a building material management system using RFID and so on. In this study we discuss and propose the method to evaluate for these hybrid on-site automation system fundamentally. In future we devise a framework of evaluation modules for the on-site building automation system on the basis of this discuss.

At present, using different method, in the view of point of that factory to the rising of the productivity, they try to rise productivity by factory automation. First, it is the automation of each unit process. In out country, in the case of a few developed factory. they are realized by line automation. The majority factories are established by automation device of unit process. But, as the established devices, it must be connect between unit processes or mutual assistance and offical automation in order to raise up productivity highly. In this paper, process inspection control system is installed by each unit process automation and connect main computer with them. So, we try to rise high productivity using stochastic process and supervision function.
