In the manufacturing process, traceability is required to follow-up all the production cycle of the product. Consequently, product traceability can result in a great control of the production process, thus allows improving control of production tools and reacting to their deficiencies. For wood industries, implementation of current identification techniques is not easy, due to the extremely variable nature of the wood and the particular features of the manufacturing process. In this article, we implement a traceability tool within a manufacturing process using the intrinsic characteristics of the wood product The goal is to achieve an individual identification of products. We use a microwave sensor to obtain a unique signature of the product and then we develop its identification. Thus, the identification process on the basis of a numerical product signature can be considered as a discrimination problem as for the nearest neighbor method. We evaluate the error rate of identification by a Monte Carlo simulation of the process. This work shows the high potential of developing an identification system based on the use of the intrinsic characteristics of product.","PeriodicalId":136064,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology, 2004.

This paper shows how hidden Markov models (HMM's) can be used to build an environmental noise recognition system based on a time-frequency analysis of the noise signal. The performance of the proposed HMM-based approach is evaluated experimentally for the classification of five types of noise events (car, truck, plane, train, dog). We propose several techniques of features extraction in order to perform the recognition. Various design issues such as features definition and extraction, classification algorithms and performance evaluation methods are explored. The major part of this paper is dedicated to the discussion of our classification results using various features and classification techniques.","PeriodicalId":136064,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology, 2004.

In this paper, we address the problem of performance degradations due to the detuning of resonant reader antennas in the widely used 13.56 MHz frequency band. A novel design of a tuning transformer for the adjustment of the center frequency of resonant loop antennas is proposed. The ferrite core of the transformer is premagnetized using an additional DC winding. The HF and DC windings are decoupled by an iron core. Besides the tuning, the transformer may also be used for impedance matching and for balancing an unbalanced signal. The function of the device was proven by network measurements. Key Words: Loop antenna, resonance tuning, RFID, tunable inductance.","PeriodicalId":136064,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology, 2004.

The algorithm based on a time-varying switching line guarantees the existence of the sliding mode since the beginning of the shaft motion. Indeed, the surface is initially designed to pass through the initial representative point and subsequently moved towards a predetermined desired surface via shifting. By this mean, the reaching phase is eliminated and the motor behavior is insensitive to unknown mechanical configuration changes. This algorithm has been first applied to a DC machine and then to an induction machine. The experimental results show that the position evolution is the same whatever the mechanical configuration of the drive and whatever the electrical machine.","PeriodicalId":136064,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology, 2004.

In an in-building environment, the multipath caused by reflection and diffraction, and the obstruction and/or the blockage of the shortest path between transmitter and receiver are the main sources of range measurement errors. Due to the harsh indoor environment, unreliable measurements of location metrics such as received signal strength (RSS), angle of arrival (AOA) and time or time difference of arrival TOA/TDOA result in the deterioration of the positioning performance. Hence, alternatives to the traditional parametric geolocation techniques have to be considered. In this paper, we present a method for mobile robot location using WLAN's received power (RSS) data applied to an artificial neural network (ANN). The proposed system learns off-line the location RSS 'signatures' for line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) situations. It then matches on-line the observation received from a mobile robot against the learned set of 'signatures' to accurately locate its position. The location precision of the proposed system, applied in an in-building environment, has been found to be 0.5 meter for 90% of trained data and about 5 meters for 58% of untrained data.","PeriodicalId":136064,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology, 2004.
