System Capability

A System Capability Dataset (SCD) is a tool for stylizing the way the unique characteristics and attributes of an automation environment are represented in a systematic, computer-usable fashion. Device Capability Datasets (DCDs) that describe the characteristics and behaviors of the constituent devices in a system are central components of an SCD. However, an SCD is more than just the sum of its DCDs, since the SCD must contain information about the logical and physical dependencies and relationships of the all devices and other components in the system. By stylizing the idiosyncratic characteristics of devices, the capability dataset approach permits the construction of standard integration interfaces and can eliminate custom programming for devices, facilitate integrating different types of devices, and enable centralized control and error handling for laboratory automation systems.

AbstractEver growing building energy consumption requires advanced automation and monitoring solutions in order to improve building energy efficiency. Furthermore, aggregation of building automation data, similarly to industrial scenarios allows for condition monitoring and fault diagnostics of the Heating, Ventilations and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. For existing buildings, the commissioned SCADA solutions provide historical trends, alarms management and setpoint curve adjustments, which are essential features for facility management personnel. The development in Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0, as well as software microservices enables higher system integration, data analytics and rich visualization to be integrated into the existing infrastructure. This paper presents the implementation of a technology stack, which can be used as a framework for improving existing and new building automation systems by increasing interconnection and integrating data analytics solutions. The implementation solution is realized and evaluated for a nearly zero energy building, as a case study.

In most laboratory LAS (Laboratory Automation System) system recently have been used. though, not all of them used theautomation system and LIS.the LAS is used for the diagnosis of diseases, because it can decrease the error factors as weel as thelaboratoric examination. Regarding to decreasing problems, the expenses of patients who staying in the hospitals could be reduced aswell as their time to stay. the purpose of this article is to know comprehensively LAS and its services in the future in the hospitals' clinicallaboratory. Because before LAS was used the diagnosis time of diseases take a long time as compared to LAS.

Abstract Background: In an effort to reduce overall laboratory costs and improve overall laboratory efficiencies at all of its network hospitals, the North Shore–Long Island Health System recently established a Consolidated Laboratory Network with a Core Laboratory at its center. Methods: We established and implemented a centralized Core Laboratory designed around the Roche/Hitachi CLAS Total Laboratory Automation system to perform the general and esoteric laboratory testing throughout the system in a timely and cost-effective fashion. All remaining STAT testing will be performed within the Rapid Response Laboratories (RRLs) at each of the system’s hospitals. Results: Results for this laboratory consolidation and implementation effort demonstrated a decrease in labor costs and improved turnaround time (TAT) at the core laboratory. Anticipated system savings are ∼$2.7 million. TATs averaged 1.3 h within the Core Laboratory and less than 30 min in the RRLs. Conclusions: When properly implemented, automation systems can reduce overall laboratory expenses, enhance patient services, and address the overall concerns facing the laboratory today: job satisfaction, decreased length of stay, and safety. The financial savings realized are primarily a result of labor reductions.

This paper proposes a function model-based approach to develop manufacturing automation systems. Methods for manufacturing automation system integration and main function component design based on a function model are discussed. System cost and main function component optimization are performed in the early design stage to find low risk cost-effective solutions. To illustrate the idea, the proposed approach has been applied to a simple example of designing a flexible micro-titer tray manufacturing automation system used to fabricate DNA microarrays.

Assembly Tasks

Future automation systems are likely to include devices with a varying degree of autonomy, as well as advanced algorithms for perception and control. Human operators will be expected to work side by side with both collaborative robots performing assembly tasks and roaming robots that handle material transport. To maintain the flexibility provided by human operators when introducing such robots, these autonomous robots need to be intelligently coordinated, i.e., they need to be supported by an intelligent automation system. One challenge in developing intelligent automation systems is handling the large amount of possible error situations that can arise due to the volatile and sometimes unpredictable nature of the environment. Sequence Planner is a control framework that supports the development of intelligent automation systems. This paper describes Sequence Planner and tests its ability to handle errors that arise during execution of an intelligent automation system. An automation system, developed using Sequence Planner, is subjected to a number of scenarios where errors occur. The error scenarios and experimental results are presented along with a discussion of the experience gained in trying to achieve robust intelligent automation.

HTS is a key component of pharmaceutical lead identification process. Over recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has experienced significant increases in the throughput capabilities of its HTS functions. In those companies where HTS has been effectively deployed, it is now possible to screen the entire corporate compound collection against a pharmacological target within a timescale of several weeks to a few months. This capability has been realized, not as a result of the purchase of any one particular piece of hardware, but rather through the development of a truly effective HTS infrastructure that matches the needs of the parent organization. Central to this is the need to understand how to effectively combine the use of the different types of hardware available to the HTS specialist. The use of both modular workstations and single-arm robotic systems have underpinned most HTS groups operations. Recent advances in the field of multiple-arm robotic systems and dedicated automation systems offer even further potential for increasing productivity. This article describes our experience with the use of a dedicated automation system for HTS applications.

Home Automation System

Home Automation industry is growing rapidly, this is fulfilled by the need to provide supporting systems for the elderly and the disabled, especially those who live alone. Coupled with this, the world population is confirmed to be getting older. Home automation systems must comply with the household standards and convenience of usage.Home automation is one of the major growing industries that can change the way people live. Some of these home automation systems target those seeking luxury and sophisticated home automation platforms; others target those with special needs like the elderly and the disabled. Typical wireless home automation system allows one to control household appliances from a centralized control unit which is wireless. These appliances usually have to be specially designed to be compatible with each other and with the control unit for most commercially available home automation systems.The developed system can be integrated as a single portable unit and allows one to wirelessly control lights, fans, air conditioners, television sets, security cameras, electronic doors, computer systems, audio/visual equipment’s etc. and turn ON or OFF any appliance that is plugged into a wall outlet, get the status of different sensors and take decision accordingly. The system is portable and constructed in a way that is easy to install, configure, run, and maintain. The perfect user interface still does not exist at present and to build a good interface requires knowledge of both sociology and technology fields. The problem lies with the situation of the elderly or disabled people, who cannot usually help themselves to move around, and might require external assistance. People who live alone might also need a helping hand at home. Therefore An android app controlled home automation system is designed, so that the users can perform certain tasks by just the use of their phones. Having a phone as a remote will make the system more user-friendly and portable.
