Scheduling Policies in Flexible Bernoulli Lines with Dedicated Finite Buffers

July 2, 2018
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Yuan Feng, Xiang Zhong, Wenhui Fan, Jingshan Li
This paper is devoted to studying scheduling policies in flexible serial lines with two Bernoulli machines and dedicated finite buffers. Priority, cyclic and work-in-process (WIP)-based scheduling policies are investigated. For small scale systems, exact

A Standards and Technology Roadmap for Scalable Distributed Manufacturing Systems

June 19, 2018
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Moneer Helu, Timothy A. Sprock
The increasing decentralization of manufacturing has contributed to the growing interest in scalable distributed manufacturing systems (DMSs). The emerging body of work from smart manufacturing, Industrie 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and

Model-based Cosimulation for Industrial Wireless Networks

June 15, 2018
Author(s)
Ging Jeng, Honglei Li, Yanzhou Liu, Yongkang Liu, Mohamed Hany, Rick Candell, Shuvra Bhattacharyya
Wireless communications technology has the potential to provide major benefits in lowering the cost and increasing the efficiency of factory automation (FA) systems. However, design of FA systems that employ wireless networks involves stringent constraints

Modeling Agents as Joint Cognitive Systems in Smart Manufacturing Systems

June 11, 2018
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, David david.romero.diaz@gmail.com Romero, Thorsten Wuest
Latest innovations and developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as well as Operational Technologies (OTs) are changing manufacturing forever. Ideas such as Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are attempting to

Guide to Industrial Wireless Systems Deployments

May 21, 2018
Author(s)
Richard Candell, Mohamed T. Hany, Kang B. Lee, Yongkang Liu, Jeanne T. Quimby, Catherine A. Remley
This document is intended to be a practical guide used by engineers and managers facilitating them to go through the process of defining the objectives of their wireless systems and examining the environments where the wireless systems are to be deployed

Implementations of the Tennessee Eastman Process in Modelica

February 22, 2018
Author(s)
Carla Martin-Villalba, Alfonso Urquia, Guodong Shao
The Tennessee Eastman process is a typical industrial process that consists of five main process units: a two-phase reactor where an exothermic reaction occurs, a separator, a stripper, a compressor, and a mixer. This is a nonlinear open-loop unstable

Self-Similar Architectures for Smart Manufacturing and Logistics Systems

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Timothy A. Sprock
Self-similar architectures can simplify some design and interoperability challenges for smart manufacturing and logistics systems. To be effective, self-similar architectures for these domains must extend existing models of self-similar controller

NIST Channel Sounder Overview and Channel Measurements in Manufacturing Facilities

November 8, 2017
Author(s)
Jeanne T. Quimby, Richard Candell, Catherine A. Remley, David R. Novotny, Joseph Diener, Peter B. Papazian, Alexandra Curtin, Galen H. Koepke
Manufacturers are increasingly choosing wireless platforms to replace wired ones due to their ease of installation, upgrade, and reconfigurability. Reliable and secure real-time performance of wireless platforms is technically challenging because wireless

INVESTIGATING GREY-BOX MODELING FOR PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS IN SMART MANUFACTURING

August 8, 2017
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Yan Lu, Paul Witherell, Sundar Krishnamurty, Ian Grosse, Douglas Eddy
This paper develops a grey-box modeling approach that combines manufacturing knowledge-based (white-box) models with statistical (black-box) metamodels to improve model reusability and predictability. A white-box model can utilize different types of
