  • The docking and recharging system for a mobile robot must guarantee the ability to perform its tasks continuously without human intervention. This paper proposes two docking mechanisms with localization error-compensation capability for an auto recharging system. The mechanisms use friction forces or magnetic forces between the docking parts of the robot and those of the docking station. It is a structure to improve the allowance ranges of lateral and directional docking offsets, in which the robot is able to dock into the docking station. In this paper, auto-recharging system and the features of the proposed mechanisms are verified with experimental results using simple homing method.

  • At present, the significance of a new manufacturing system that can shift from 'mass production' and consider life cycles of a product is pointed out and extremely expected. In such a situation, it is recognized that the modular design, often called 'unit design,' is the important design methodology which realizes the new production system enabling 'cost reduction,' 'flexible production of a multi-functional artifact,' 'settlement of an environmental issue,' and so on. A module (unit) of a product is generally defined as 'the parts group made into the sub-system from a certain specific viewpoint.' So far, there have been many researches related to the modular design. However, they are often limited to a certain viewpoint (objective). This paper proposes a simple but effective method for multi-objective modular design. In the proposed method, a new design metric, called similarity index, is proposed to evaluate the modular design candidates from the multiple viewpoints.

  • This study aimed to create 3D-printed insoles for flat-footed senior men using 3D systems. 3D systems are product-manufacturing systems that use 3-dimensional technologies like 3D scanning, 3D modeling, and 3D printing. This study used a 3D scanner (NexScan2), 3D CAD programs including Rapidform, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Nauta+ compiling program, and a 3D printer. In order to create insoles for flat-footed senior men, we analyzed horizontal sections of 3D foot scans We selected 20 flat-footed and 20 normal-footed subjects. To make the 3D insole models, we sliced nine lines on the surface of the subjects' 3D foot scans, and plotted 144 points on the lines. We calculated the average of these 3D coordinates, then located this average within the 3D space of the AutoCAD program and created 3D sole models using the loft surface tools of the SolidWorks program. The sole models for flat feet differed from those of normal feet in the depth of the arch at the inner sideline and the big toe line. We placed the normal-footed sole model on a flat-footed sole model, and the combination of the two models resulted in the 3D insole for flat feet. We printed the 3D modeled insole using a 3D printer. The 3D printing material was an acrylic resin similar to rubber. This made the insole model flexible and wearable. This study utilized 3D systems to create 3D insoles for flat-footed seniors and this process can be applied to manufacture other items in the fashion industry as well.

  • With the prevalence of computers in modern organizations, simulation is receiving more atention as an effectvie decision -making tool. Simualtion is a computer-based numerical technique which uses mathmatical and logical models to approximate the behaviror of a real-world system. However, iptimization of synamic stochastic systems often defy analytical and algorithmic soluions. Although a simulation approach is often free fo the liminting assumption s of mathematical modeling, cost and time consiceration s make simulation the henayst's last resort. Therefore, whenever possible, analytical and algorithmica solutions are favored over simulation. This paper discussed the issues and procedrues for using simulation as a tool for optimization of stochastic complex systems that are dmodeled by computer simulation . Its emphasis is mostly on issues that are speicific to simulation optimization instead of consentrating on the general optimizationand mathematical programming techniques . A simulation optimization problem is an optimization problem where the objective function. constraints, or both are response that can only be evauated by computer simulation. As such, these functions are only implicit functions of decision parameters of the system, and often stochastic in nature as well. Most of optimization techniqes can be classified as single or multiple-resoneses techniques . The optimization of single response functins has been researched extensively and consists of many techniques. In the single response category, these strategies are gradient based search techniques, stochastic approximate techniques, response surface techniques, and heuristic search techniques. In the multiple response categroy, there are basically five distinct strategies for treating the responses and finding the optimum solution. These strategies are graphica techniqes, direct search techniques, constrained optimization techniques, unconstrained optimization techniques, and goal programming techniques. The choice of theprocedreu to employ in simulation optimization depends on the analyst and the problem to be solved. For many practival and industrial optimization problems where some or all of the system components are stochastic, the objective functions cannot be represented analytically. Therefore, modeling by computersimulation is one of the most effective means of studying such complex systems. In this paper, after discussion of simulation optmization techniques, the applications of above techniques will be presented in the modeling process of many flexible manufacturing systems.

  • Many of the industrialized countries since the 1970s have been experiencing the change in the industrial structure due to technological development, that is, from Fordism to post-Fordism, or to "flexible production system". Regional development has been undergoing some changes according to the different industrial production systems. During the Fordist mass production period, the manufacturing belt was the core region of the production system. As the system shifts to flexible production system of which characteristics are veritcal disintegration, emphasis for JIT(just-in-time) delivery system, part-time and short-time labor contracts, design-intensive industries, etc, the new system requires the new production core and has produced the new industrial spaces, such as Sunbelt cities, suburbs, small-or medium-sized cities, and non-metropolitan areas. In the perspective of global system, the Fordist production system made th NICs developed, because the mass production required many unskilled and low-wage workers. As the NICs exports of manufactured goods have incredibly expanded during the 1970s, the industrialized countries have become threatened. The industriablized countries have restructured their economies and international policies. Such restructures resulted in the economic depression of the NICs. The investment pattern of the industrialized countries has changed and particularly those industries adopting the Post-Fordism have invested from the NICs to the peripheral areas of their own countries or toward the underdeveloped countries which have much lower wage workers. The investment pattern of the NICs is also undergoing some changes like from metropolitian areas to small or non-metropolitan regions. The regional development since the post-Fordist production is still going on, thus it is not possible to generalize the tendency. That could be a particular phenomenon or a stage in the long-term cycle. But the regional development in the world system since 1980s definitely shows the different pattern.t pattern.

  • 유연생산시스템은 많은 병렬적이고 동시 발생적인 기계들, 장치들, 수송 시스템들로 구성되며, 이러한 것들은 각각 버퍼들, 도구들, 라우터들로 나누어진다. 시스템에서 여러 생산품들의 병렬적인 흐름은 자원들을 이용하기 위해 서로 경쟁하게 되며, 유연생산시스템의 이러한 특징들로 인해 교착상태가 발생한다. 교착상태는 상대방이 점유하고 있는 자원을 서로 요구하는 과정에서 흐름이 멈추어진 상태를 말하므로, 이러한 교착상태의 탐지와 회피는 매우 중요한 문제이다. 이 사실에 근거하여 일반 플레이스와 자원공유플레이스 사이의 관계를 나타내는 DAPN(Deadlock Avoidance Petri Wet)을 정의하여 교착상태를 탐지하고 회피하기 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 또한 제안된 알고리즘을 유연생산시스템의 특징을 가진 모델에 적용하여 그 결과를 제시한다.

  • 사출금형 공정계획이란 금형설계를 완료한 후에 설계된 금형을 경제적, 효율적으로 생산하기 위하여 수행하는 제조공정에 대한 계획이다. 이러한 공정계획은 전문가의 수작업에 의한 수립에 의한 문제, 전문가의 양성과 부족현상, CAD/CAM 시스템 보급 및 생산형태의 다품종소량화 현상에 의해 자동화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 사례기반추론(Case-Based Reasoning)을 이용하여 IIMPPS(Intelligent Injection Mold Process Planning System)라는 사출금형 공정계획시스템을 개발하였다. 사출금형 공정계획을 자동화하기 위해서 사례기반 추론을 사용한 이유는 사출금형이라는 제품은 금형의 종류와 구조 등에 따라 공정계획이 매우 다양하게 수립되지만, 성형품의 용도나 품명이 같은 경우에는 공정이 거의 유사하여, 과거에 수립된 공정계획이 새로운 금형의 공정 계획에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있기 때문이다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 IIMPPS의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 전문가의 정성적인 평가와 공정계획의 정확도 평가를 수행하였다.

  • 반도체 제조공정에 내재된 복잡성은 작업일정(job scheduling) 문제를 해석적 방법으로는 풀기 어렵기 때문에 보통 시스템 파라미터의 변화에 대한 효과를 이산사건 모델링 시뮬레이션에 의존하여 왔다. 한편 장비 고장 등 예측 불가능한 사건들은 고정된 작업일정 기법을 사용할 경우 전체 공정의 효율을 악화시킨다. 따라서 이러한 불확실성에 대해 최적의 성능을 내기 위해서는 작업일정을 실시간으로 대처 변경하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문은 반도체 제조 공정에 대해 시스템 제어관점의 접근방법을 적용하여 이 문제에 적응형 실시간 작업제어 틀을 제안하고, DEVS 모델링 시뮬레이션 환경을 기반으로 제안된 틀을 설계 구현하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 임기응변적인 소프트웨어적인 방법에 비추어볼 때 전체 시스템을 이해하기 쉬우면서도 또한 추가되는 작업제어 규칙도 쉽게 추가 적용할 수 있는 유연성을 장점으로 가지고 있다. 여러 가지 실험결과 제안된 적응형 실시간 작업제어 프레임워크는 고정 작업규칙 방법에 비해 훨씬 나은 결과를 보여주어 그 효용성을 입증하였다.

  • As apparel manufacturers have increased their outsourcing garment making to cope with the rapid changing market, the information sharing has been the most important factor for the Korean apparel industry. The purpose of this research was to identify the properties and effects of information sharing system between Korean apparel manufactures and contractors. For this study, two apparel manufactures which actually used the information sharing systems were case-studied for the properties and effects of the information sharing system. The results of this study are shown as follows; 1) The companies ("J" and "S"), studied in this paper used sharing information mostly on order, delivery, and accounts within their contractors based on information sharing system. Company "J" turned out to have strong partnership with their contractors and developed more flexible manufacturing system and QR strategy. They shared not only basic transaction information but also quality inspection information and work-in-process information by using information sharing system. 2) The effects of information sharing system were proved as business transaction time reduced more than 60 percent, compared when staffs had to face to face, or use phone or fax to deliver documents. This study was investigated to provide an example which introduces information sharing system objectively and systematically to the apparel industry.
