Recently, mechanical systems such as a high-speed vehicles and railway trains moving on flexible beam structures have become a very important issue to consider. Using the general approach proposed in the first part of this paper, it is possible to predict motion of the constrained mechanical system and the elastic structure, with various kinds of foundation supporting conditions. Combined differential-algebraic equation of motion derived from both multibody dynamics theory and finite element method can be analyzed numerically using a generalized coordinate partitioning algorithm. To verify the validity of this approach, results from the simply supported elastic beam subjected to a moving load are compared with the exact solution from a reference. Finally, parametric study is conducted for a moving vehicle model on a simply supported 3-span bridge.

An adaptive tracking controller is presented for the vibration reduction of flexible manipulator employed in hazardous area by combining input shaping technique with sliding-mode control. The combined approach appears to be robust in the presence of severe disturbance and unknown parameter which will be estimated by least-square method in real time. In a maneuver strategy, it is found that a hybrid trajectory with a combination of low frequency mode and rigid-body mode results in better performance and is more efficient than the traditional rigid body trajectory alone which many researchers have employed. The feasibility of the adaptive tracking control approach is demonstrated by applying it to the simplified model of robot system. For the applications of the proposed technique to realistic systems, several requirements are discussed such as control stability and large system order resulted from finite element modeling.

This paper presents a real design and implementation of an intelligent client-server equipment controller in computer-integrated manufacturing systems. An automated manufacturing process is commonly controlled by a number of PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), which are attached to various equipments. A manufacturing cell consists of a set of equipments or workstation, which are also controlled by equipment or cell controller. We propose an intelligent equipment controller which has two function: one is to request (collect) an important information from each equipment and the other is to send the collected equipment information to the upper level controller (shop floor controller). Two-phase approaches are considered for the development of equipment client-server controller. The first events are generated virtually using computer simulation. Using the virtually generated activities, operating software of equipment server is developed. The second phase is to embed the virtually developed software (controller) into a real manufacturing system. The proposed methodology might be a novel design and implementation of a virtual simulator, which could be used for developing an intelligent equipment server.

Recently, the lead-time of a product is to be shortened in order to satisfy consumer's demand. It is thus important to reduce the manufacturing time and the cost of 3D-shaped microstructures. Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and devices are usually fabricated by lithography-based methods. Above method is not flexible for the rapid manufacture of 3D-shaped microstructures because it depends on work's experiences and requires excessive cost and time for making many masks. In this paper, the effective laser micrornachining is developed to fabricate UV sensitive polymer microstructures using laser ablation. The proposed process, named by laser microRP, is a very useful method on rapid manufacturing for 3D-shaped microstructures.

The demand for automatic manufacturing systems is increasing. One of the crucial obstacles to the Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS) is the lack of excellent strategies for efficient operations. The aim of this research is constructing an automaton scheme in the low level of factories where various machineries are involved. An operating strategy is established for an automation unit named as a cell which resides between the upper level computers and manufacturing shop floor. The cell is defined to fit into the total manufacturing system. The defined cell has more functions than conventional cells. A scheduling scheme is adopted for the shop floor operations. A set of software has been developed and tested through simulations and shop floor experiments.

Recently, Industry 4.0 (next generation industrial revolution) designed by Germany to retain initiative in manufacturing business is actively studied. Goal of Industry 4.0 is 'Smart factory' which manages progress of production, supply logistics and services. To achieve the goal, we can construct value creation and new business model by integrating organically with production management systems which is existing and cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, Services Internet and sensor, etc. However, if integration with production management systems does not work effectively by adding and developing new technologies, It does not have performance. Hence, in this research, we will analysis Industry 4.0 which is possible for small quantity batch production and one of the light and flexible manufacturing systems, and based on this, we will suggest methodology to horizontally integrate with production management systems.

In most dynamic manufacturing environments today, systems and processes are constantly changing. Simulation tools are required that can accurately model the system in detail, but still be easy to use, and allow rapid model redevelopment to react quickly for system changes. An object-oriented simulation modeling environment is presented to provide flexible modeling capabilities for simulation. Also, when simulating an assembly system, a large number of factors must be considered. Because of such complexities, simulation has been used as the primary method in designing, planning and analyzing. In this paper, the dynamic manufacturing environment is discussed for the assembly system. Also, an application method of simulation tools is presented with the experimental data from the automobile manufacturing shop to improve the productivity effectively.

In accordance with the trend for cooperation of related company, BOM (Bill of Materials) has become an important factor in the manufacturing of production. BOM manages a various basic information of design, production, and process and so on. Especially, automobile industries are related to many company, they build a cooperative system from the communication of information. In this study, we have analyzed a BOM structure of a well-used automobile part industry and proposed a structure of engineering BOM, manufacturing BOM, process BOM for cooperative environment. A proposed various BOM structure are flexible in responding to the situation of structure alternations for automobile part. And also they include in environment factors. It is expected that these BOM structure will be used to basic template in automobile part industry which could be loaded with cooperative hub-system.

In automated manufacturing systems, Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) Systems are increasingly important in material handling and manufacturing operations. A considerably flexible AGV system needs to be operated with maximum effectiveness. This paper develops an algorithm for the determination of the entering point and the number of AGVs required in the Flow Shop Type FMS. We consider an AGV used as a carrier and mobile workstation. For the limited number of AGV, the entering point of an AGV on a simple loop is determined in order to maximize the utilization of AGVs. For the unlimited number of AGVs, the number of AGVs required in the FMS is determined on the basis of the entering point of AGVs. The result by the algorithm may be used as a criterion on the control of material flow and the assignment of AGVs in the FMS. A numerical example is given to illustrate the algorithm.
