A Probabilistic Approach to Performance Forecasting for FMS as Part of an Automated Factory

Specific features of a machining FMS operation in a complex production environment (a machine shop or an automated factory) are considered. A probabilistic approach to FMS performance estimation, ensuring a steady production rhythm of an automated assembly factory, is suggested. A probabilistic description of FMS performance estimation based on the concept of production potential and its respective probability of achieving the goal value with due account of the reliability of FMS production facilities and various organization factors is given. A complex optimality criterion of FMS production potential in an FA environment is described. A method of machining FMS production tasks planning in terms of time and volume of output is suggested. Application of the suggested method is illustrated by the example of designing a machine-tool automated factory.

This paper follows the planning, design and operation of an automated assembly system incorporating vision. A full analysis of the performance characteristics of the system is undertaken, with a view to assessing the viability of using a vision-guided robot in a production environment. The results indicate that the assembly accuracy and repeatability are within acceptable limits and that with further development such a system could be used in a production plant.

Breaking Cycles

Agriculture is composed of many factors that alter its production, are of an environmental and management nature, and in terms of management, pests and diseases are of great importance, as they cause a lot of damage to the crop, at different times, and the control of these is essential. pests and diseases to ensure that the plant can reach its production potential. With the concern for a more sustainable production, agriculture has diversified through transformations in the technological and information scopes, which helped to increase the production of production systems. However, only biological and plant-based controls did not guarantee such a large control of pests and diseases, and to complement the control, and to reduce the use of chemicals in agriculture, cultural control was used. This cultural control, together with its sustainable management of pests and diseases, using biological control methods and the base of plant origin, brought new forms of pest and disease control, helping in management, and providing a more sustainable production environment. In addition to these benefits, cultural control is of great importance in the control of pests and diseases, as its control comes as a preventive practice, providing a diversity of the system, and a better control of pests and diseases by breaking cycles, culture, pests and diseases.

Oder River

The main scope of this study was to present the possibility of developing a heavy rainfall regional model, based on a probabilistic approach. Following the methods and conclusions of the scientific and technical work of the research team in the Upper and Middle Oder basin, carried out on rainfall data between 1961 and 2010, it was found that the generalized exponential distribution enables a satisfactory probabilistic description of heavy rainfall, and the results of the models constructed on its basis are obtained in an accessible and not time-consuming way. The regional model presented in the article sufficiently describes the empirical heavy rainfall at eight analyzed meteorological stations, especially in the range of rainfall amounts occurring most frequently from a statistical point of view, i.e. with the p-value from 0.3 to 1.0.
