Three synchronic variables (Deviation Time, Fairness Time, Synchronic Time) are defined for Timed Place Petri Nets (TPPN). These parameters show the dependency between the firing of transition subsets in the time domain by different values. The approaches in this paper can be used to find synchronic relations in Stochastic Petri Nets. This paper presents how to decide the minimum resources required to a Flexible Manufacturing Cell using Synchronic Time concept.

The dynamic simulation of machine tools and motion control systems has been widely used for optimization, design verification, control design, etc. There are three main streams in dynamic simulation: structural dynamic analysis based onthe finite element method, dynamic motion analysis based on equations of motion, and control system analysis based on transfer functions. Generally, one of these dynamic simulation methods is chosen and employed for specific purposes. In this study, an integrated dynamic simulation is introduced, in which the structure, motion, and control dynamics are combined together. Commercially well-known software is used in the integrated dynamic simulation: ANSYS, ADAMS, and Matlab/Simulink. Using the integrated dynamic simulation, the dynamics of a magnetic bearing stage is analyzed and the causes of oscillation and noise are identified. A controller design for suppressing a flexible dynamic mode is carried out and verified through the integrated dynamic simulation.

Today, manufacturers are forced to acknowledge that the life cycles of products are becoming shorter. In the case of the door trim assembly field, the highly frequent introduction of new products and the continuous increase in product varieties leads to the demand for redesigning assembly systems more often. Modular manufacturing systems can be an important issue in helping to overcome these problems. This paper presents the development of a modular assembly system for the door trim, and because it takes the change drives into consideration, this system is highly flexible in adapting to changes in the environment.

This paper proposes a new framework of an autonomous and distributed flexible manufacturing system - Multi Client Robot Groups(MCR) - and describes a stochastic learning scheme applied to managerial problems of the system. The MCR is composed of groups of manufacturing robots, named Client Robots (CRs), which are capable of both versatility and independence in their performances. The MCR is expected to have high performance because the MCR can perform concurrent and corporative processing. However, the system performance is determined by the organizations of the CR groups. Therefore the treatment of the managerial problems and organizations of the system are important problems. In this paper, it is assumed that CR groups being able to processing tasks are selected stochastically based on the strengths of the robot groups. The learning scheme adjusting the strength is introduced to organize the groups in the system and control the each performance of the groups according to the total system performance. Finally, some experimental results of the learning scheme are shown.

Changes in manufacturing system are those that occur during production and cause the systems to behave unpredictably. So scheduling problem in this dynamic Industrial environments is very complex. The main concept of this dissertation is to continuously monitor a manufacturing system status(Rate of Prior Job, Rate of Large Job, Rate of Shortest due date Job, Job Interval Time) and detect or predict a change so that scheduling system will react by modifying production schedule(dispaching rule) to lessen the effects of this change.

Agile and flexible manufacturing systems make it mandatory that a control program should have features such as agility, flexibility, and reusability in order to run manufacturing unit smoothly. PLCs are the most frequently used control program in manufacturing systems. PLC programs are mostly programmed by subcontraction, which makes correction of code very difficult. As a result, it may cause delay during down time and ramp up time which leads to big loss of revenue and goodwill. To prevent delay during the times, this paper proposes systematic process analysis and application method for programmable logic controller like LLD (Ladder Logic Diagram). The proposed method uses modified human-error investing techniques for documentation and transforming technique to program LLD from the documentation. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates an example of piston mechanism to explain the proposed method.

Currently, new and renewable energy come into the spotlight, such as solar energy, wind power, fuel cell, hybrid car etc., due to the energy resource is being depleted. Especially, in order to solve like this problem, the study of solar cell manufacturing systems are being extensively researched such as vacuum process. But the major fault of the vacuum process are its expensive production price. On the order hand, Roll-to-roll printing system, the new technology of solar cell manufacturing, has low production price compare with the vacuum process. Also roll-to-roll printing system can decrease the 95% of waste water and 99.9% of harmful gasses than the vacuum process. So we addressed the roll to roll printing system for the flexible solar cell by using printing technology. This roll-to-roll printing system is comprised of various modules, such as web handling module, fine pattern printing module, dry/curing module, uniform coating module and laminating module etc.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm (ahGA) approach for effectively solving multistage-based scheduling problems in flexible manufacturing system (FMS) environment. The proposed ahGA uses a neighborhood search technique for local search and an adaptive scheme for regulation of GA parameters in order to improve the solution of FMS scheduling problem and to enhance the performance of genetic search process, respectively. In numerical experiment, we present two types of multistage-based scheduling problems to compare the performances of the proposed ahGA with conventional competing algorithms. Experimental results show that the proposed ahGA outperforms the conventional algorithms.

For the effective operation of manufacturing system, FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System) and CIM(Computer Integrated Manufacturing) system are developed. In these systems, a machine tool is the target of integration in last 3 decades. In nowadays, the conventional concept of machine tools is changing to the autonomous manufacturing device based on knowledge-evolution through applying advanced information technology in which open architecture controller, high speed network and internet technology are contained. In this environment, a machine tool is not the target of integration but the subject of cooperation. In the future, a machine tool will be more improved in the form of a knowledge-evolution based device. In order to develop the knowledge-evolution based machine tools, this paper proposes the structure of knowledge evolution in M2M(Machine To Machine) and the scheme of a dialogue agent among agent-based modules such as a sensory module, a dialogue module, and an expert system. The dialogue agent has a role of interfacing with another machine for cooperation. To design the dialogue agent module in M2M environment, FIPA-OS and ping agent based on FIPA-OS are analyzed in this study. Through this, it is expected that the dialogue agent module can be more efficiently designed and the knowledge-evolution based machine tools can be hereafter more easily implemented.
