Abstract:

SUMMARY The automation of production processes is an important topic on the policy agenda in high-wage countries, and Denmark is no exception. However, the knowledge of the adoption of automation technologies across firms, of drivers of investments in automation, and on the association between automation and firm performance are limited. This paper uses a new survey to collect data on automation combined with register data to examine these issues. The variation in the adoption of automation technologies is high but the change in adoption over time is slow, and almost half of Danish manufacturing firms relied greatly on manual production processes in 2010. Increasing international competition from China is a driver for investments in automation, i.e. the manufacturing firms that are exposed to intensifying competition from China in their output markets invest more in automation than firms that are not exposed to this type of competition. We conduct external validation of the automation survey by examining the association between the automation measures and firm performance measures constructed from completely independent data sources. We find that the measures of automation are significantly associated with productivity and profitability.

Abstract:

The changes in the management environment of casting industry are summarized. Global and agile competition, bipolarization and human resources development are problems. Outsourcing, alliances, and M&A occur very often. Tough cost competition and improved quality requested by the market are very important issues. Automation should be developed for these problems as well as environmental ones. From the above, the fusion of traceability, data management, and process management are discussed especially as an approach to solving the quality problem in the foundry. In short, a system for the traceability solution is requested that dramatically enhances the level of results, including a reduction in production costs and quality enhancement connecting to improvements in the process from the solution of the manufacturing quality problem. Here, BPM (business process management) is considered as a core methodology to validate the traceability solution. If BPM can be installed in the foundry, added values/costs will be enhanced while balancing with customer power, leading to the implementation of a production environment that will be able to cope with changes in the market.

Abstract:

Availability and capability of labor have become dominating factors affecting agriculture's productivity and sustainability. Agricultural mechanization can substitute for human and animal physical power and improve operational uniformity. Automation complements mechanization by implementing the capabilities of automatic perception, reasoning, communication, and task planning. Fixed automation is traditionally cost-effective for mass production of standard items. In addition, flexible automation responds to make-to-order batch processing. The appropriateness of each automation type depends on the situation at hand. Because of their vast memory and high calculation speed, computers are highly effective for rapid information processing. Incorporating state-of-the-art hardware and software, computers can generate status reports, provide decision support, gather sensor signals, and/or instruct machines to perform physical work. It is no surprise, therefore, that computerization is essential to the evolutionary process, from mechanization through fixed automation to flexible automation. Fundamentals of agricultural mechanization, automation, and computerization applied to greenhouse production are discussed. Recent research activities conducted at Rutgers Univ. are presented for illustrative purposes.

Abstract:

Through the centuries man has found easier and better ways to produce the goods he needs and desires. Thus through new technologies through different forms of automation, manual processes of high physical risk and high financial cost are minimized. The aim of this paper is to show that industrial automation can be applied aiming at a low cost in its implementation, presenting a fast financial return time, besides improving the product quality, reducing the production defect rates and consequently the production increase. Article was based on the automation of a modem assembly cell, where it was necessary to use four (4) operators to assemble it, the modem had a defect index of 0.12% related to annual production. The result achieved showed that after the implementation of an automatic tightening machine, only one (1) operator is required to assist in assembly and one (1) defect rate per year dropped to 0.02% per year. Industrial automation has been showing companies the power to become more competitive in the world market. Thus, it becomes essential in the process of using technologies as a tool to support business management.

Abstract:

Research in automating the process level of machining operations has been conducted, in both academia and industry, over the past few decades. This work is motivated by a strong belief that research in this area will provide increased productivity, improved part quality, reduced costs, and relaxed machine design constraints. The basis for this belief is two-fold. First, machining process automation can be applied to both large batch production environments and small batch jobs. Second, process automation can autonomously tune machine parameters (feed, speed, depth of cut, etc.) on-line and off-line to substantially increase the machine tool’s performance in terms of part tolerances and surface finish, operation cycle time, etc. Process automation holds the promise of bridging the gap between product design and process planning, while reaching beyond the capability of a human operator. The success of manufacturing process automation hinges primarily on the effectiveness of the process monitoring and control systems. This paper discusses the evolution of machining process monitoring and control technologies and conducts an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art of these technologies over the past decade. The research in each area is highlighted with experimental and simulation examples. Open architecture software platforms that provide the means to implement process monitoring and control systems are also reviewed. The impact, industrial realization, and future trends of machining process monitoring and control technologies are also discussed.

Abstract:

Manufacturing industries are constantly identifying ways to automate machinery and processes to reduce waste and increase profits. Machines that were previously handled manually in non-standardized manners can now be automated. Converting non-digital records to digital formats is called digitization. Data that are analyzed or entered manually are subject to human error. Digitization can remove human error, when dealing with data, via automatic extraction and data conversion. This paper presents methodology to identify automation opportunities and eliminate manual processes via digitized data analyses. The method uses a hybrid combination of Lean Six Sigma (LSS), CRISP-DM framework, and “pre-automation” sequence, which address the gaps in each individual methodology and enable the identification and analysis of processes for optimization, in terms of automation. The results from the use case validates the novel methodology, reducing the implant manufacturing process cycle time by 3.76%, with a 4.48% increase in product output per day, as a result of identification and removal of manual steps based on capability studies. This work can guide manufacturing industries in automating manual production processes using data digitization.

Abstract:

Due to the problems of the traditional mixed injection molding production, such as unsatisfactory of the injection molding machine cylinder temperature control, the dispersed devices, the low automation degree and the lack of supervision for the whole production process, the production line of the mixed injection molding machine has been modified. The fuzzy self-adaptive PID control method is used to improve the temperature control accuracy and stability. Two sets of equipments of the injection molding machine have been communicated via the bus technology to realize automation production. And the computer monitoring system has been designed by VB technology to monitor the operating status and parameters of the entire production process. This transformation design can achieve to shorten production cycle, reduce labor costs and covering area, and also improve the production automation level and efficiency.

Abstract:

Organizations have production planning and control (PPC) processes supported by systems that execute, mainly, repetitive calculations. Based on these calculation results, decisions are taken by production managers. These decision processes make the connection between different levels of aggregation of information and could benefit from the increment of the level of automation. An increased level of application of business process modelling languages is proposed in order to contribute to increment the level of process automation and the detail of business analysis. Thus being, concepts of integration of production management processes, specifically of production planning and control processes are presented. These concepts, the application of business process modelling language (BPML) and some solutions of PPC integration compose the core content of this work. Additionally, criteria for evaluation of these processes of integration are identified and discussed. Finally, the presentation of an industrial case will be supported by BPML model.

Abstract:

The introduction of an automated control system on the production line of the rubber compound will reduce the influence of the human factor on the quality of rubber products, which will lead to a significant improvement in the operational and physico-mechanical characteristics of the final product. Also, the development of this system will create a centralized data collection system for creating reports on technological operations of the production process. To obtain high-quality products, it is necessary to control and maintain all technological parameters during equipment operation at the same level, modern means of registration and parameter management. In the production of rubber compounds, it is necessary to ensure a high degree of automation of the main technological equipment, which will make it possible to more accurately dose the ingredients, including dusting ones, to conduct the process in a given temperature regime for the time required to obtain high-quality products. The implementation of automatic control during the use of high-performance equipment is not possible without the use of measuring and control equipment. The article is devoted to the problem of automation of a system for measuring technological parameters on a rubber compound production line in order to improve the quality of manufactured products. The analysis of the technological process is carried out, the controlled parameters of not only the modes of the technological process, but also of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products are selected. The choice of instruments and local automation equipment is presented, as well as the choice of an industrial microcontroller with which control is carried out at the lower level of an integrated automation system. A functional diagram of the automation of the rubber compound production process is proposed, which will allow to obtain a product with quality indicators corresponding to the regulated level.

Abstract Production systems are no longer rigid, unyielding, and isolated systems anymore. They are rather interconnected cyber-physical systems with an evolution process that needs to be supported. To enable reusability in evolution, a change-first cooperative support is proposed that relies on model-based evolution steps. The approach establishes a network-wide evolution process in a peer-to-peer networked community. Thus, moving towards decentralised marketplaces for evolution steps.

Abstract:

Setting up an adaptable and flexible simulation model for steel-making process is very important to improve production system design and manufacture automation. To assist the decision-makers in steel-making plants, the Logistical simulator for steel-making has been developed using em-Plant software. The Simulator can be used to rapidly model any steel plant, including the movement of the operation equipments and the changes of production parameters. With the help of Simulator, the influences of lay-out changes, process parameters, and changes in planning could be revealed vividly, and the realistic production planning could be created. Results include production Gantt charts, display of cranes track, utilization figures and production statistics. Simulation cases show that the simulator is valid for simulating different steel-making processes, and production states on different conditions can be investigated by using this model.

Abstract:

The production process is no longer purely limited to human workers. Automation and digitisation have come in. Workers are aided by various machines that assist them in production. This has led to faster production and lower prices. The benefits are obvious, yet up to what extent can we automate and digitise production? Will it ever come to a point when we would no longer need any human intervention to produce the things we need? Can the digital and the automated ever substitute human hands? This article offers a brief discussion on how digitisation and automation have affected our lives and the way we work. It presented an overview of automation’s history and recent developments. Moreover, it discussed the various opportunities and risks associated with these fast improvements. Lastly, an analysis of the possible future of digitisation was mentioned: What must be done to take full advantage of the opportunities and to curb the risks? Automation has made production faster and this has led to various benefits and opportunities just waiting to be taken advantaged off, yet I firmly believe that human labour will continue to flourish. Automation and digitisation may have been going on for decades, but human work still exists because there are aspects of work that cannot just simply be replaced by machines. Machines are to complement us and help us to do things better. Moreover, there should be a focus on education and on fostering a culture of innovation so that we can be ready to face any changes in the workplace. There should also be a conscious effort to fight the factors that further inequality in society.

Abstract:

AbstractCyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) should adapt to new products or product variants efficiently and without extensive manual engineering effort. In comparison to rewriting the automation software for each adaption, manual engineering effort can be reduced by reusable software components with free parameters, which must be adjusted to individual production scenarios. This paper introduces CyberOpt Online, a novel online parameter estimation approach for reusable automation software components. In contrast to classic mathematical modeling approaches, such as Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP), our approach requires no predefined models that represent the system. Models, e. g., of the energy consumption of CPPS, are learned automatically from data observed during the operation of the production system. Therefore, the manual engineering effort is minimized as postulated by the paradigm of CPPS. The presented approach combines MINLP, process mining and black-box optimization techniques for calculating optimal timing parameter configurations for automation software components with free parameters in the domain of discrete manufacturing.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the influence of errors from elastic deformations on the accuracy of processing in the conditions of complex automation. Different variants of multi-tool processing are considered: parallel processing, when different tools are alternately, one after the other, involved in the processing of the workpiece surfaces, and parallel-sequential processing, when different surfaces of the workpiece are processed simultaneously by several tools located in the working position. Design automation in machine-building production is part of the complex problem of automation of engineering work in all areas of the functioning of a modern production system. Therefore, when creating design automation systems, its connections in the general complex of automation of engineering activities in the production cycle should be taken into account. In general, the automation of the engineer's work is task planning, design and technological preparation of production, and management of the production system. The choice of favorable cutting modes for multi-tool processing is a difficult task, since, along with taking into account the features of each individual tool, it is necessary to make a general analysis of the entire setup, i.e. the set of tools used on the machine, and the distribution of processing transitions among them. Machine-building production is currently characterized by the desire to constantly update the range of released products. The requirements of multi-product manufacture can be met under the condition of its automation, which covers both the automation of production preparation and management. The article provides recommendations for reducing the error from elastic deformations in the conditions of complex automation.

Abstract:

In this paper, the approach and main advances made in multi-process hybrid production cells (HyProCell) for rapid individualised laser-based production are compiled and discussed, including highlights and achievements. HyProCell constructs automated manufacturing platforms that integrate highly flexible laser-based additive build processes with more conventional yet precise subtractive machining processes and include novel solutions like automatic powder removal system/machines and robot arms in integrated multi-process production cells. The HyProCell approach can either build parts additively from scratch and finish them in a coherent production single line/cell or prepare parts by machining and add laser-based additive features, achieving otherwise impossible shapes. In addition to producing new parts, existing parts can be repaired or improved by adding new details with the HyProCell hybrid concept. The research work includes the design of pilot cell facilities, the development of the, and a new modular architecture including a middleware and integration layer to ensure automation with improved pallet handling systems. Finally, the MES and data management methodologies for future improvements and pilot facility implementation were made.

Abstract:

Integrated automation in a manufacturing plant demands control of manufacturing and material and product flow processes. Efficient data archiving and retrieval, quality control and process automation facilities are essential components which should be deployed to form one coherent system. As managers of extruder plants running look for ways and means for meeting market requirements, the demand for such integrated automation systems is rising. Integrated Process automation involves: - Overall production and process control - Data acquisition, archiving evaluation with feed-back to production planning and process control - Decentral control in local control loops for achieving isothermal extrusion - On-line visualisation of process variables for tighter man-machine interaction Providing the facility for prescribing the ranges of relevant process variables viz. billet temperature, die temperature, profile temperature at die exit, rate of cooling of the profile and extrusion speed is part of the integrated automation system. At the heart of the system are processes for mastering the core task of management of the thermal processes in the extruder by employing sensors and control techniques. Goal is to minimise the time to extrude a billet and simultaneously keep the process variables within prescribed limits. Automation in extrusion plants is made possible by progress in sensor technology and enhanced possibilities of data processing and organisation, advanced control methods which require simple models and facilities of integration of hardware and software employing state-of-the-art networking and protocols. Crucial is the non-contact temperature measurement of the billet and the profile at die exit. Since about two decades there has been a continuous progress in temperature measurement technology based on multi-spectral radiation pyrometers. They perform well for a large number of alloys and surface finishes and are reliable for industrial use. Disturbances can be suppressed using adequate signal processing
