Magnetic Force Control Technology and its Industrial Applications

Intelligent Information, Monitoring, and Control Technology of Industrial Process Applications

Abnormal event management (AEM) in large manufacturing plants has evolved as a higher and increasingly vital function of process control. In this paper, an intelligent information management and control system is introduced. The different computational agents (i.e., modules) of the system are embodied in a three-layered cognitive hierarchy, which offers intelligent behavior at the system level,...

Agent Technology in Industrial Applications

The agent metaphor has become increasingly popular in distributed computing systems. As often with a new paradigm, it is not very clear what the exact meaning is. The meaning and the development of the agent paradigm is therefore discussed in this paper. One motivation for using agents in distributed systems is that, due to the rapid technical development of computing and communication faciliti...

Industrial robotics - technology, programming, and applications

Plasma physics and technology; industrial applications

Plasma technologies offer a wide spectrum of possible treatments of materials. In particular, in function of the peculiar physical characteristics of the plasma, produced by different ionisation systems, three types of processes on the materials can be activated: (1) Destruction of toxic/harmful materials; (2) Superficial modification of existing materials; (3) Creation of new materials. Therma...

Networked Control and Industrial Applications

I N MODERN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS, traditional centralized point-to-point control cannot be suitable to meet new requirements such as modularity, decentralized/distributed control, quick and easy maintenance, and low cost. Due to these reasons, networked control systems have been one of the hot focuses in academic research as well as in industrial applications and significant progress has been...
