First, the state space model of reassembly is constructed and deduced to reveal the quality transfer and coupling mechanism of reassembly process. An optimization model of the reassembly scheme is established for minimizing the comprehensive cost. Then, an intelligent control system for reassembly process is proposed, which is a real-time monitoring and dynamic compensation response to address abnormal quality and to achieve intelligent control of reassembly process. The data model, information perception and fusion technology, real-time monitoring and dynamic compensation of reassembly quality are studied and implemented. Finally, the prototype intelligent control system of reassembly is developed, which illustrates its practicability offering a technical support for sustainability of remanufacturing. It can monitor the abnormal quality in real time and make dynamic compensation response, and realize the intelligent control of reassembly process. It plays a positive role in improving quality, reducing cost and enhancing customer satisfaction. This intelligent control method is more suitable for the reassembly system of complex machinery, especially under uncertain operating environment.

Abstract Remanufacturing has been considered to be one of the most effective ways to deal with sustainable manufacturing. This paper proposes a data-driven intelligent control system for improving the production and resource efficiency of the remanufacturing assembly systems. First, an optimization model of the reassembly scheme is established for minimizing the quality loss and comprehensive cost. Remanufactured parts are measured, grouped, coded, and dimensional chain calculated based on the data acquisition and processing technology. Then, an intelligent control method for remanufacturing assembly process is proposed, which is a real-time monitoring and dynamic compensation response to abnormal quality to achieve intelligent control of reassembly process. The intelligent control information system that include information perception and fusion technology, real-time monitoring and dynamic compensation architecture are studied and implemented through data-driven technologies. Finally, a case study illustrates its practicability offering a technical support for sustainability of remanufacturing.

The flattening and asymmetry of a pipe end section seriously affects the welding quality between pipes, therefore the calibration process for pipe end to improve roundness is essential. Because the calibration for a pipe end involves local elastic-plastic deformation for the end effect, it is still difficult to establish an accurate theoretical model. The reasonable and intelligent control method is nevertheless an effective means to improve the production efficiency. In this paper, an internal expansion over bending and calibration (IEOBC) process is introduced. According to the characteristics of the process, the structure of the mobile intelligent calibration machine for large pipe ends is designed, and the intelligent control hardware system of the machine is built. Based on the LabVIEW software platform, an intelligent control software system for the IEOBC process is developed. A three-step control strategy is combined with pipe size detection and ovality recognition. The intelligent prediction and execution of the calibration process parameters are realized. The experimental results show that the intelligent control system has good stability and accuracy, and the ovality can be controlled within 0.5%.

An electro-fused magnesia furnace (EFMF) is used to produce electro-fused magnesia. Due to the complex dynamic characteristics of the EFMF production process, it is difficult to achieve the satisfactory control performances only by the independent conventional control method. As a result, the lower loop control with manual operations is still widely used in practice. However, the manual operation cannot ensure that the actual production qualities and the energy consumption of unit production meet the technical requirements all the time. In this paper, an intelligent operation control strategy is developed for the EFMF to automatically adjust the setpoints of the lower level control system. Based on the proposed intelligent control strategy, an intelligent control system for the EFMF is built and implemented on site. Industrial application has demonstrated that the intelligent control system can achieve reliable, accurate and timely control performances.

This paper introduces the implementation of intelligent motion control and planning for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Previously developed control system features intelligent motion control and planning subsystem, based on artificial neural networks. It allows detecting and avoiding moving obstacles in front of the AUV. The motion control subsystem uses position-trajectory control method to position AUV, move from point to point and along given path with given speed. Control system was tested in the multi-module simulation complex. Simulation showed good results – AUV successfully achieved given goals avoiding collisions not only with static obstacles, but also with mobile ones. That allows using the proposed control system for the groups of vehicles. Besides simulation, control system was implemented in hardware. AUV prototype passed tests in Azov Sea and proved its efficiency.

The blueprint for an intelligent control system of cap-shape bending has been advanced in this paper using neural network technology, aiming at an accurate control of bending springback, the prominent problem during the forming process for the cap-shape bending of sheet metal. The feed-forward neural network of real-time identification for material performance parameters and the friction coefficient have been established. The neural network identifies the parameters for real-time needed material performance, which utilizes the measurability of the physical quantities, and predicts the parameters for optimum technology, so a satisfied accuracy of convergence has been achieved. The intelligent control experimentation system of cap-shape bending has been established, the validity of which has been tested for four kinds of materials. The result of the tests proves the feasibility of the blueprint of the intelligent control system.

In general, production control of digital workshops is a complicated systematical engineering. Because of lacking the methods and means of acquiring the manufacturing data in real time, the traditional production control methods cannot satisfy the real production control requirement of digital workshops. In this paper, we put forward an intelligent control system for digital workshop production. The main contributions include three aspects: Firstly, we introduce and adopt Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology as a means to acquire the manufacturing information in real time produced by the bottom-level manufacturing devices. Secondly, we develop the wcPML (workshop control with Physical Markup Language) and utilize it to act as a media to realize the information visualized description and transmission between the top-level control systems and bottom-level manufacturing sites of workshops. Thirdly, we adopt Java Web technology and wireless LAN to build the infrostructure for the intelligent control system for workshop production. Some key enabling technologies for the intelligent control system also are presented and described following with some concluding remarks.
