Improving Rigid-Body Registration Based on Points Affected by Bias and Noise

December 31, 2018
Author(s)
Marek Franaszek, Geraldine S. Cheok
The task of registering two coordinate frames is frequently accomplished by measuring the same set of points in both frames. Noise and possible bias in the measured locations degrade the quality of registration. It was shown that the performance of

A New SCAP Information Model and Data Model for Content Authors

December 18, 2018
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell
The Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) data model for source data stream collections standardizes the packaging of security content into self-contained bundles for easy deployment. But no single data model can satisfy all requirements. The source

ENABLING CONTROL SYSTEM AND CLOUD-BASED SIMULATION SERVICE INTEROPERABILITY

December 12, 2018
Author(s)
Albert W. Jones, Guodong Shao, Frank H. Riddick
The latest innovations in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) will change manufacturing and simulation forever. Ideas such as Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, and Industrial Internet are dictating those changes. One of those changes involves

Categorical Models for Process Planning

November 19, 2018
Author(s)
Spencer J. Breiner, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Albert W. Jones
Process plans provide a structure for 1) identifying the tasks involved in a given process, 2) the resources needed to accomplish them, and 3) a variety of relationships and constraints between these. This information guides important operational decisions

Condition-based Real-time Production Control for Smart Manufacturing Systems

August 19, 2018
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Feifan Wang, Feng Ju
In this paper, we present condition-based real-time production control for smart manufacturing which is aimed at improving system performance by automatically assessing a production system's condition and dynamically configuring the processing routes for

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

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
