This paper investigates the information processing function of a computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) system, which is usually neglected by engineers when they study the performance of a manufacturing system. The feasibility of developing a complete simulation model which would include both the operational and information processing functions is therefore considered. In order to achieve this, a typical pick-and-place manufacturing cell was considered in which 46 devices were connected to a local area network (LAN). Two independent simulation tools, SIMAN* and L-NET†, were used in order to develop the complete model. The model was evaluated and used to study the performance of the pick-and-place cell using different communication protocols such as the IEEE 802.3 carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD), IEEE 802.4 token bus and the IEEE 802.5 token ring. Results presented in this paper show that with careful design and simulation it is possible to develop a complete model which includes both operational and informational processing functions. Although the example of the pick-and-place cell is relatively simple the technique adopted could be applied to any CIM system. Results have also shown that for the pick-and-place cell considered in this paper an IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD protocol operating at 10 Mbps would guarantee access to the network within the shortest station processing time.

Hostile Environments

Hostile environments such as nuclear sites are difficult for men to perform tasks safely. The objective of our work is to construct and test an experimental system of teleoperation oriented to the pick-and-place tasks, using Internet. Two PCs are used, one at the local site and the second at the remote site. The interconnection between these sites is based on the TCP/IP sockets. In the remote site; a webcam sends images manipulator arm through Internet to the control site where a human operator remotely monitors this robot in order to achieve pick-and-place tasks. The camera is horizontally and vertically adjustable. The robot and camera are both controlled remotely via the Internet. A human-centered design has been used to build up the graphical user interface. The task supervision is performed from a local site through an Internet interconnection TCP/IP protocol. The software is mainly written in Java while some low level functions are written with C. Some experiments were successfully realized in local area network, and remotely at a large distance via Internet. The obtained results encouraged us to test other control modes with our system as, mouse-click command, Image-Based Commands and Gesture commands. Therefore, the system can then be used and adapted for various industrial and medical applications. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.mech.24.4.19386

Abstract The article discusses the possibility of creating a system for automating the process of searching and assessing the danger of targets using machine vision and existing ship systems. The technologies for processing images from the ship’s camera system are analyzed: object recognition by a ready-made convolutional neural retrained network, as well as object detection by SURF algorithms. The parameters of the danger of goals within the framework of the problem to be solved have been analyzed and developed, and a structural analysis has been elaborated. The functionality of the automatic operation of the system as a closed circuit has been considered. To achieve the technical result in the system as an integrated part of the ship’s equipment based on cognitive information processing, a composite information object from the ship’s sensors and control systems was introduced. It is decomposed into blocks in which the associated logical information processing takes place using basic modules consisting of adaptive cells-approximators as learning elements capable of independently processing information. The following units are included in the local area network: an information support unit (ISU), a decision making unit (DMU), a command-organizational unit (COU) with an operator’s workstation. The ISU is connected by a two-way communication output with aggregate LAN units, the other output is connected in series with a situation determination unit and the “model of the surrounding space” block. The survey was carried out on board a modern LNG gas carrier using ship systems.

This report focusses on the planning and realization of an interdisciplinary local area network (LAN) for medical research at the University of Heidelberg. After a detailed requirements analysis, several networks were evaluated by means of a test installation, and a cost-performance analysis was carried out. At present, the LAN connects 45 (IBM-compatible) PCs, several heterogeneous mainframes (IBM, DEC and Siemens) and provides access to the public X.25 network and to wide-area networks for research (EARN, BITNET). The network supports application software that is frequently needed in medical research (word processing, statistics, graphics, literature databases and services, etc.). Compliance with existing “official” (e.g., IEEE 802.3) and “de facto” standards (e.g., PostScript) was considered to be extremely important for the selection of both hardware and software. Customized programs were developed to improve access control, user interface and on-line help. Wide acceptance of the LAN was achieved through extensive education and maintenance facilities, e.g., teaching courses, customized manuals and a hotline service. Since requirements of clinical routine differ substantially from medical research needs, two separate networks (with a gateway in between) are proposed as a solution to optimally satisfy the users’ demands.
