이산사건 시스템은 시간의 이산순간에 상태변화가 발생하는 시스템으로서 공정제어, Robotics, 교통시스템, Flexible Manufacturing System, 통신등 많은 분야의 시스템이 이산사건 시스템들이지만 아직도 포괄적이고 융통성 있는 제어이론이 연구되지 않았다. 본 연구는 특히 Real-Time Temporal Logic Framework(RTTL)에서 비결정적으로 발생되어지는 확정적인 사건들로써 유발되어지는 비결정적 이산사건 시스템의 모델링 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법을 두 개의 machine들로 구성된 Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS)에 적용하여 설명하였다. 이 방법은 복잡한 이산사건 시스템의 모델링을 모듈화하여 간편하게 표현 할 수 있는 우수한 특성을 가지고 있다.

This study deals with the case study on the pallet quantity determination problem for the flexible manufacturing system producing 32 different types of aircraft wing ribs which are major structures of an aircraft wings. A Korean company has constructed the WFMS (wing rib flexible manufacturing system) that is composed of several automated equipments such as the 5-axis machining centers, the RGV (rail guided vehicles)s, the AS/RS (automated storage and retrieval system), the loading/unloading stations, and so on. Pallets play a critical role in the WFMS to maintain high system utilization and continuous work flow between 5-axis machining machines and automated material handling devices. The discrete event simulation method is used to evaluate the performance of the WFMS under various pallet mix alternatives for wing rib manufacturing processes. Four performance measures including system utilization, throughput, lead-time and work in process inventory level are investigated to determine the best pallet mix alternative. The best pallet mix identified by the simulation study is adopted in setting up and operating a real Korean aircraft parts manufacturing shop. By comparing the real WFMS's performances with those of the simulation study, we discussed the cause of performance difference observed and the necessity of developing the CPS (cyber physical system).

Flexible assembly line (FAL) is a production system that assembles various parts in unidirectional flow line with many constraints and manufacturing flexibilities. In this research we deal with a FAL balancing problem with the objective of minimizing the maximum workload allocated to the stations. However, almost all the existing researches do not appropriately consider various constraints due to the problem complexity. Therefore, this thesis addresses a balancing problem of FAL with many constraints and manufacturing flexibilities, unlike the previous researches. To solve this problem we use a genetic algorithm (GA). To apply GA to FAL, we suggest a genetic representation suitable for FAL balancing and devise evaluation method for individual's fitness and genetic operators specific to the problem, including efficient repair method for preserving solution feasibility. The experimental results are reported.

This paper gives the detail of the work carried out to develop real-time control software for Flexible Manufacturing Systems. A basic design philosophy to implement such software is proposed. The major features are the partitioning of complicated control actions into simplified ones, structured programming and multi-threaded transaction-based tasks. The software operates on the basis of passing task-to-task messages via mailboxes, causing appropriate actions to be taken by each task. Each task represents a separate subprocess so that the subprocesses can be run simultaneously. The task-to-task message could be easily replaced by computer-to-computer communication, using LAN, demonstrating that the software methods developed produce a flexible designs for control software of an FMS. A method of linking such software to simulation software is suggested as a potentially powerful additional design-tool.

Disk grinding was often applied to deburring process in order to enhance the final product quality. Inherent chamfering capability of the flexible disk grinding process in the early stage was analyzed with respect to various process parameters including workpiece length, wheel speed, depth of cut and feed. Initial chamfered edge defined as arc zone was characterized with local radius of curvature. Averaged radius and arc zone ratio was well evaluated using neural network system. Additional neural network analysis adding workpiece length showed enhance performance in predicting arc zone ratio and curvature radius with reduced error rate. A process condition design parameter was estimated using remaining input and output parameters with the prediction error rate lower than 2.0% depending on the relevant input parameter combination and neural network structure composition.

The present study is to develop an intelligent control system for flexible manufacturing system, which is suitable for a variety of manufacturing types with smaller production rates. The controller is designed to integrate heuristic rules with optimization techniques for loading as well as flow rate of parts and ultimately meeting performance indices. The control function implemented by an optimization technique is to calculate short term production rates of parts. The heuristic control determined by production rules requires knowledge base to evaluate selected loading alternatives according to short term production rate and current process information, and also to determine final decision pertaining to loading. In this case, the knowledge base is constructed using the rules for evaluating alternatives, decision criteria, and flow control of parts in manufacturing system. The database is formulated by means of managing and updating current process information. A graphic system to monitor current status of the function and operation of manufacturing system is developed, and computer simulation is carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller.

This paper describes the design and implementation of PCOAMC(PC-based Open Architecture Machine Controller) to be flexible and independent from the vendor-oriented hardware and software structure. This openness approach is able to enhance an intelligence and integration of a manufacturing system. The development methodology of PcOAMC is an Object-Oriented approach, and all modules in PcOAMC are modelled using UML(Unified Modelling Language) that provides an easy understanding and modification. In order to demonstrate an applicability of PcOAMC, a simple test has been executed by using the Client-Server system consisting of two PcOAMCS and bus monitoring system. The good results have been obtained, so that the developed controller is expected to be embedded into IMS(Intelligent Manufacturing System) as a basic unit.

In order to resolve a deadlock problem in manufacturing systems, three main methods have been proposed-prevention, avoidance, and recovery. The prevention and avoidance methods require predicting deadlocks in advance in order to prohibit them. In contrast, the recovery method allows a system to enter a deadlock state, then resolves it usually using a common buffer. In this paper, a deadlock recovery method considering the impact of flexible job routings is proposed. This method is based on capacity-designated directed graph (CDG) model representing current requesting and occupying relations between Jobs and resources in order to detect a deadlock and then recovers it.

The performance evaluation of flexible manufacturing systems or cells at the stages of design and planning is one of important issues in manufacturing. For that reason, Guo has presented an approachbased on moment generating function and generalized stochastic PetriNets for performance analysis. In this paper, Buo's approach is extended tothe cases of flexible manufacturing cell including one machining center with a local buffer, AS/RS(Automatic Storage and Retrieval System), set-up station and AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle). Then the performance measures from this approach is compared with simulation. The major advantage ofthis method over existing performance evaluation methods is the ability to compute analytic solutions for performance measures.
