This paper presents a bio-inspired approach for generating online rhythmic point-to-point motions commonly used by industrial robots. Rhythmic motions in biological systems are produced with neural circuits called central pattern generators (CPGs). A modified form of CPG network is designed and used to generate the rhythmic motion. A pick and place task is considered an industrial application o...

In the context of the 4 industrial revolution, the knowledge and management of the precise topological and geographical location of industrial equipment is a growing necessity. However, a holistic concept for topology and location management in processand factory automation networks down to the field level is yet unknown. In this work, existing network and location management mechanisms are sur...

Supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) are widely used in industry for supervisory control and data acquisition of industrial processes. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility. With the advances of electronic and software technologies, the SCADA systems are widely used in industrial plant automation. It provides an efficient tool to monitor and control equip...

Cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. Among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. Boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. In this paper, the performance of thermal oil bo...
