Abstract:

In recent years, the use of drill string automated processing systems on offshore drilling platform has become more and more widespread, and it not only can improve the efficiency of workers, but also can reduce the labor intensity. In order to make the automatic system more intelligent and more efficient in the whole process, in this paper, we designed a set of adjustable speed drill delivery system, which is based on PID control algorithm. It can not only improve the efficiency of the automated catwalks machine conveying pipe, but also ensure the quick and efficient production.

Abstract:

Considerable research effort has been devoted within the past 15 years to automating the driving of highway vehicles in order to improve their safety and efficiency of operation and to help to reduce traffic congestion. Although the highway environment is in some ways more structured than other environments in which automated vehicles have been proposed to operate, the density and complexity of road traffic still make the sensing and control problems challenging. Because highway vehicles are not ‘unmanned’ but are expected to carry passengers and to coexist with other passenger-carrying vehicles, the reliability and safety considerations in the design of their control systems are much more important than they are for vehicles that are truly unmanned. This paper reviews the progress that has been made in recent research on highway vehicle automation and indicates the important research challenges that still need to be addressed before highway automation can become an everyday reality.

Abstract:

Most studies of the so-called CACSD (Computer-Aided Control System Design) have aimed at the development of computer systems which will assist control engineers to design effectively, making better use of sophisticated machine interfaces and the graphic environment, and do not aim at automated control design beyond assisting the user in designing control systems. The present study has developed a system, which is aimed at the automation of classical control system design, by describing the dialogue between man and computer as a computer program through techniques of knowledge engineering. In particular, hypothetical reasoning systems supported by TMS (Truth Maintenance System) are used in order to automate trial and error procedures which are problems in classical design methods. In other words, a hierarchical system has been constructed where a control system-designing expert system based on hypothetical reasoning is placed at the meta-rule layer above the procedure and tool layers. This paper illustrates the basic structure of this expert system and the utilization forms of hypothetical reasoning in control system design, and shows the actual operation of the system as seen through a design example.

Abstract:

The modeling and design of a link-layer control algorithm for automated highway systems are presented in this paper. Link-layer control systems address the coordination of traffic on a stretch of highway, and serve as the intermediate layer between traffic management (ATMS) and vehicle control (AVCS) systems. The key role of the link layer control system is to use macroscopic traffic information for improved traffic flow. A distributed control algorithm is developed based on optimal control theory. The proposed control law is implemented in a simulation program which keeps track of the motions of each individual vehicles on the highway. Simulation results under three perturbed conditions—uneven traffic distribution, broken vehicle, and traffic merging—are presented.

Abstract:

Greenhouse automation carried out with monitoring and control technologies optimizes the cultivation processes in industrial scenarios. In recent years, new trends and technologies have emerged in the agricultural sector. The application of Information and Communication Technologies has clear benefits. Embedded hardware systems development, new communication protocols over the Internet and applied Artificial Intelligence paradigms have increased the services’ capabilities. These technologies can be installed both in new facilities and in facilities that are already functioning. This paper analyses the integration of these paradigms into automated greenhouses. An integration model is proposed and developed in the plant experimental unit installed at the University of Alicante. This unit already has an automated system that controls air conditioning, soil conditions, and irrigation, but these control subsystems are not integrated. In this work, new processing nodes with integrated data are designed to develop new detection, prediction and optimization services. These services increase the performance of the installation and create smart environments in agricultural production.

Abstract:

Abstract Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) play an important role in the small-scale industry as well as the largescale industry in handling materials inside factories from one place to another. In the last days, the materials to be handled are more numerous and as production and demand increase, it strongly influences the transport of materials in desperate need of a vehicle to distribute, position the materials within the industry. AGVs are generally installed with wires at ground level and signals are transmitted through them to be controlled. Due to the emergence of the AGV, the workload of the human being gradually decreased and the production efficiency increased. Thus, the need for an AGV has become more technologically important in the advanced robotic world. Normally, these systems are integrated into a global production system, where is a need to make direct changes in the design and planning of the floor store to get most of them. But in the rapidly changing production system and the adaptable floor store, the implementation of AGV has become very important and difficult, because it depends on many systems, such as wires, frequency, total production, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an independent AGV, which can operate on its own and make decisions based on changes in the environment.

Abstract:

Robotic handling systems are increasingly applied in distribution centers. They require little space, provide flexibility in managing varying demand requirements, and are able to work 24/7. This makes them particularly fit for e-commerce operations. This paper reviews new categories of automated and robotic handling systems, such as shuttle-based storage and retrieval systems, shuttle-based compact storage systems, and robotic mobile fulfillment systems. For each system, we categorize the literature in three groups: system analysis, design optimization, and operations planning and control. Our focus is to identify the research issue and operations research modeling methodology adopted to analyze the problem. We find that many new robotic systems and applications have hardly been studied in academic literature, despite their increasing use in practice. Because of unique system features (such as autonomous control, flexible layout, networked and dynamic operation), new models and methods are needed to address the design and operational control challenges for such systems, in particular, for the integration of subsystems. Integrated robotic warehouse systems will form the next category of warehouses. All vital warehouse design, planning, and control logic, such as methods to design layout, storage and order-picking system selection, storage slotting, order batching, picker routing, and picker to order assignment, will have to be revisited for new robotized warehouses.

Abstract:

Flexible fixturing is a necessary aspect of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS). Modular fixtures are most widely used in industry for job and batch production. Computer-Aided Fixture Design (CAFD) has become a research focus in implementing FMS and CIMS. Fixture configuration design is an important issue in the domain of CAFD. A review of the current research in CAFD indicates that a major problem impeding the automated generation of fixture configurations is the lack of studies on fixture structures. This paper investigates fundamental structures of dowel-pin based modular fixtures and fixturing characteristics of commonly used modular fixture elements. A Modular Fixture Element Assembly Relationship Graph (MFEARG) is designed to represent combination relationships between fixture elements. Based on MFEARG, algorithms are developed to search all suitable fixturing unit candidates and mount them into appropriate positions on a baseplate with interference checking. A prototype system for automated design of dowel-pin modular fixture configurations is presented in this paper. Fixture design examples are given at the end of the paper.

Vorgestellt wird ein Konzept, um automatisiert Entwürfe für Montageanlagen zu generieren. Auswahl und Anordnung der benötigten Betriebsmittel erfolgen dabei ausgehend von einem digitalen Modell des Produktes sowie einer Bibliothek verfügbarer Ressourcen. Die getroffenen Planungsentscheidungen werden simulativ abgesichert und heuristisch optimiert.   Nowadays, assembly lines are widely used for the production of goods. Due to shorter life cycles and increasing variance of products to be manufactured, assembly systems have to be (re)configured more frequently. This paper presents a concept to automatically generate drafts of complete assembly lines. Basis for the planning approach is a library of available resources and a digital product model. An algorithm selects, combines and arranges suitable resources. The planning decisions are heuristically optimized and verified by simulation.

Abstract:

This paper presents the design of a real time feedback control automated irrigation systems that consists of monitoring units, control units, irrigation pipeline valves, and a network of irrigation pipeline. The monitoring units continuously measure the soil moisture content in the irrigation blocks, and if the moisture content drops below a predetermined threshold for the particular crop under production, it sends a wireless message to the control units controlling the pipeline valves along the water flow channel, causing the control units to open the valves leading to the water source and commencing automatic irrigation. When the moisture content rises above a predetermined threshold for the crop, the monitoring units sends a wireless message to the control units, causing them to close the pipeline valves and cease automatic irrigation. An automatic irrigation system pipeline network optimization software has also been designed to plan, cost, and design the automatic irrigation system for a piece of land prior to installation.

Abstract:

In this paper, a new approach to the decentralized control design for vehicle platooning for uncertain automated highway systems is proposed. The uncertainty in the system, which is nonlinear and (possibly) fast time-varying, is bounded. The bound is assumed to be within a prescribed fuzzy set. A creative transformation is made to the system, which converts a local problem to a global problem. Based on the fuzzy description of the uncertainty bound and the transformation, a class of decentralized control is proposed in which each vehicle only needs the knowledge of its preceding vehicle in the platoon. No acceleration feedback or the information of the leading vehicle is required. Both the vehicle platooning system and the control are deterministic, hence not if-then fuzzy rule-based. The performance of the resulting controlled system is twofold. First, the collision avoidance performance is guaranteed under any safe initial conditions regardless of the value of the uncertainty. Second, the minimization of a fuzzy-based performance index is guaranteed based on an optimal choice of a control design parameter. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:

An important aspect of an Automated Highway System is automatic vehicle following. Automatic Vehicle follower systems must address the problem of string stability, i.e., the problem of spacing error propagation, and in some cases, amplification upstream from one vehicle to another, due to some disturbance at the head of the platoon. An automatic vehicle following controller design that is (asymptotically) stable for one vehicle following another is not necessarily (asymptotically) stable for a string of vehicles. The dynamic coupling between vehicles in such close-formation platoons is a function of the available information (communicated as well as sensed), decentralized feedback control laws and the vehicle spacing policy in use. In the first half of this paper, we develop a framework for establishing conditions for stability of the string in the presence of such dynamic interactions. We then develop a metric for analyzing the performance of a platoon resulting from different vehicle following control algorithms. This metric is the guaranteed rate of attenuation/non-amplification of spacing errors from one vehicle to another. In the latter half of this paper, we outline and analyze various constant spacing vehicle follower algorithms. All these algorithms are analyzed for sensing/actuation lags.

Abstract:

With an increasing influence of computers and software, automation is affecting many areas of daily life. Autonomous systems have become a central notion, but many systems have reached only a lower level of automation and not yet full autonomy. Information technology and software have a strong impact and their industries are introducing their own business cultures. Even though autonomy will enable systems to act independently from direct human input and control in complex scenarios, the factors of responsibility, control, and attribution are of crucial importance for a legal framework. Legal responsibility has to serve as a safeguard of fundamental rights. Responsibility can be attributed by a special legal regime, and mandatory human override and fallback modes can assure human intervention and control. It is proposed to establish a precautionary regulatory regime for automated and autonomous systems to include general principles on responsibility, transparency, training, human override and fallback modes, design parameters for algorithms and artificial intelligence, and cyber security. States need to take a positivist approach, maintain their regulatory prerogative, and, in support of their exercise of legislative and executive functions, establish an expertise independent of industry in automation, autonomy, algorithms, and artificial intelligence.

Abstract:

Automated, precise single particle manipulation in the microscale is in great demand and is one of the great challenges in biomedical and biochemical engineering. Automatic micromanipulation has also become a microrobotics challenge. Following this challenge, control technology is integrated with dielectrophoresis (DEP)-based micromanipulation technology in this paper to construct automatic DEP-based micromanipulation systems. DEP micromanipulation systems with electrodes of quadrupole polynomial geometry are developed as controllable microactuators. A semianalytical modelling method is proposed to formulate the analytical models of the DEP manipulation systems, which manifests that the DEP manipulation systems are non-affine non-linear systems. Then, taking the parameter uncertainties, unmodelled dynamics and external disturbances into account, an adaptive law combined with a dynamic sliding mode controller is designed for two-dimensional trajectory tracking control of a DEP micromanipulation system. The closed-loop system is proved stable in the presence of bounded lumped uncertainty based on the Lyapunov theorem. Finally, simulation results show the validity of the proposed control design.

Abstract:

Batch process control is typically used for repeated chemical reaction tasks. It starts with a measured liquid material filling operations followed by a controlled reaction leading to the discharge or transport of processed quantities of material. The input materials is contained in vessel reactor and subjected to a sequence of processing activities over a recipe predefined duration of time. Batch systems are designed to measure, process, and discharge a varying volume of liquid from drums, tanks, reactors, or other large storage vessel using a programmable logic controller (PLC). These systems are common in pharmaceutical, chemical packaging, Beverage processing, personal care product, biotech manufacturing, dairy processing, soap manufacturing, and food processing industries. This paper briefly discusses the fundamental techniques used in specifying, designing, and implementing a PLC batch process control [1, 2]. A simplified batch process is used to illustrate key issues in designing and implementing such systems. In addition to the structured PLC ladder design; more focus is given to safety requirements, redundancy, interlocking, input data validation, and safe operation. The Allen Bradley (AB) SLC 500 PLC along with the LogixPro simulator are used to illustrate the concepts discussed in this paper. Two pumps are used to bring in material during the tank filling and a third pump is used to drain processed product. The three pumps are equipped with flow meters providing pulses proportional to the actual flow rate through the individual pipes. The tank material is heated to a predefined temperature duration followed by mixing for a set time before discharge. Batch control systems provides automated process controls, typically and universally using PLC’s networked to HMI’s and other data storage, analysis, and assessment computers. The overall system perform several tasks including recipe development and download, production scheduling, batch management and execution, equipment performance monitoring, inventory, production history and tracking functionalities. Flexible batch control systems are designed to accommodate smaller batches of products with greater requirements / recipes variation, efficiently and quickly. In addition to providing process consistency, continuous batch process control quality improvements are attained through the automatic collection and analysis of real-time reliable and accurate event performance data [3, 4].

Abstract:

Much compliance effort concerns adherence to contracts. Parties to a contract need to make sure that the other parties will deliver. To this end they may require additional controls in the business process to monitor delivery and induce contractual penalties when needed. Controls have costs. In this paper the authors argue that introducing fully automated controls will help to reduce control costs, because (i) they can prevent misstatements (compliance by design) or (ii) they increase the quality of evidence and thereby reduce the audit risk for the external auditor and corresponding audit fees. The line of reasoning is illustrated by a case study of the implementation process of automated controls on the procurement process for public transport services for the elderly and disabled. This is a complex and heavily regulated domain. The case study indicates that control automation makes monitoring compliance to contracts in such complex domains feasible and that using control automation can in fact reduce the costs of control.

Abstract:

The modern stage of development of CAD-systems is characterized by a significant expansion of the scope of their use. An interesting direction for improving CAD systems is their integration with CAM systems. One of the main tasks solved by CAM systems is the development of control programs for CNC machines. Many software developers for automation of design and technological preparation of production have already equipped their systems with appropriate modules. These circumstances pose an urgent task for higher educational institutions to introduce the study of integrated CAD/CAM systems into the educational process of training design engineers. In this case, the emphasis should be placed on the practical mastery of the skills of developing control programs using a 3D-model of the manufactured part. The stages of preparation for the implementation of the system are described, starting with the analysis of the market of necessary software products and ending with the adaptation of the licensed system to the conditions of use in the educational process of the university. A link is given to the description of the methodology used in the assessment of automated systems at the stage preceding the tender for their purchase. It is emphasized that the study of the possibility of using a CAD/CAM system in the preparation of design engineers was carried out by students during the course and diploma projects in the discipline “Automated systems for technological preparation of production”. The methodology for designing control programs used by students is given, and the results obtained are assessed.
