With development of mechanical and electronic technology, mechanical automation technology plays an important role in many areas. Because of high demand for food safety, mechanical automation technology in food factory is used widely. But there still is gap with advanced countries, mainly in automation software design. Through designing the automation monitoring system of food packaging product...

A s we approach the 21st century and enter the Information Age, we see the uniquely qualified electronics industry playing a vital role in realizing the new era by providing state-of-the-art technology through microelectronics, telecommunications, computer networks, and software. The advent of 32-bit microprocessors that offer the processing power of minis at a fraction of the cost opens up new...

This paper proposes a systematic method of creation and application of a virtual factory. Basic definition of a of virtual factory is first given , followed by its foundation principles and architectural overview, and then a systematic method based on object technologies is proposed to create the virtual factory. Specially, for a real manufacturing environment, a corresponding virtual factory c...

Industrial Automation has evolved from stand-alone, hard-wired relay panels to a contemporary, networked system that supports flexible manufacturing and enterprise integration. From precision control of machines and robots on the factory floor to flexible coordination of multiple cells of automation, advancements in control technologies have driven the evolution of industrial automation. The co...

Ethernet is now conquering the field level in automation technology. Realtime behavior is a knock-out criterion therefore. This paper deals with the key concepts for guaranteed realtime behavior using Ethernet, based on the requirements of factory automation. A classification of the vendor-driven approaches that are currently under discussion for realtime Ethernet is provided.

This paper presents the participative approach in factory design and describes the system developed at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Factory Operation and Automation to support the factory planning and facility management process. When designing a new factory or revitalising old factory buildings important decisions have to be taken in an early stage of the planning process. The developed Model-...
