In previous chapters, the engineering scientific foundations of manufacturing intelligence (such as the knowledge-based system, Multi-Agent system, data mining and knowledge discovery, and computing intelligence) have been discussed in detail. Sensor integration and data fusion is another important theory of manufacturing intelligence. With the development of integrated systems, there is an urgent requirement for improving system automaticity and intelligence. Without improvement, the complexity and scale of systems are increased. Such systems need to be more sensitive to their work environment and independent state, and obviously, single sensor technology hardly meets these requirements. Multi-sensor and data fusion technology are therefore employed in automatic and intelligent manufacturing as it is more comprehensive and accurate than traditional single sensor technology if the information redundancy and complementarity are used reasonably. In theory, the outputs of multi-sensors are mutually validated. Multi-sensor integration is a brand new concept for intelligent manufacturing, and without doubt, sensor integration-based intelligent manufacturing is the development orientation of manufacturing in the future. With reference to the information fusion problem of the multi-sensor integration system, the development state, technical background, application scope and basic meaning of the multi-sensor integration and the data fusion are first reviewed in this chapter. Secondly the classification, level, system structure and function model of the data fusion system is discussed. The theoretical method of the data fusion is then introduced, and finally, attention is paid to cutting tool condition detection, machine thermal error compensation and online detection and error compensation because those are the main applications of multi-sensor data fusion technology in intelligent manufacturing.

Dynamic Weighing

The multi-sensor data fusion techniques is discussed in dynamic weighing system based on the data measured from ultrasonic sensors, speed sensors, capacitive sensors and load cells. This new method can greatly increase the measure precision of the dynamic weighing systems, at the same time it can effectively reduce noise, vibration, electromagnetic interference and other environmental factors on the influence of dynamic weighing system measurement. Judging from the simulation result, this new method proves to be more accurate and stable than ordinary processing methods.

Proposed Model

Continuous monitoring of productivity and assessment of its variations are crucial processes that significantly contribute to success of earthmoving projects. Numerous factors may lead to productivity variations. However, these factors are subjectively identified using manual knowledge-based expert judgment. Such manual recognition process is not only subject to errors but also time-consuming. There is a lack of research work that focuses on near real-time assessment of productivity variation and its effect on cost, schedule and effective utilization of resources in earthmoving projects. This paper presents a customized multi-source automated data acquisition model that acquires data from a variety of wireless sensing technologies. The acquired multi-sensor data are transmitted to a central MySQL database. Then a newly developed data fusion algorithm is applied for truck state recognition, and hence the duration of each earthmoving state. Multi-sensor data fusion facilitates measurement of actual productivity, and consequently the assessment of productivity ratios that support continuous monitoring of productivity variation in earthmoving operations. The developed tracking and monitoring model generates an early warning that supports proactive decisions to avoid schedule delays, cost overruns, and inefficient depletion of resources. A case study is used to reveal the applicability of the proposed model in monitoring and assessing actual productivity and its deviations from planned productivity. Finally, results are discussed and conclusions are drawn highlighting the features of the proposed model.

In this paper, based on the wavelet transform method, the multi-sensor data fusion technology is adopted to solve some key problems in pipeline leak detection system. Compared with the traditional filtering method, the wavelet transform method can better remove the pipeline leakage signal noise. When the corresponding wavelet is selected, after FPGA realized, the method has the advantages of fast speed, arbitrarily data width set, which can better meet the needs of real-time signal processing requirements of pipeline leak. At the same time, VHDL language has the characteristics of portability, greater generality. When multi-sensor fusion technology is used in the paper, the relation, correlation, estimation and integrated processing is done in turn to the information from multiple data sources, the system can achieve better detection performance than a system using the single sensor, so as to form a more complete, reliable pipeline real time detecting conclusion.

In this paper, we presented an equipment fault diagnosis method based on multi-sensor data fusion, in order to solve the problems such as uncertainty, imprecision and low reliability caused by using a single sensor to diagnose the equipment faults. We used a variety of sensors to collect the data for diagnosed objects and fused the data by using D-S evidence theory, according to the change of confidence and uncertainty, diagnosed whether the faults happened. Experimental results show that, the D-S evidence theory algorithm can reduce the uncertainty of the results of fault diagnosis, improved diagnostic accuracy and reliability, and compared with the fault diagnosis using a single sensor, this method has a better effect.
