Web handling systems are recently used to produce new technologies such as printed semi-conductors, thin solar panels, printed electronics, etc. In web handling systems, one of the main objectives is to reach a good accuracy of web tension and web speed. For the tuning of machineries, one-dimensional models are commonly used and they do not take into account several three-dimensional mechanical phenomena initiated by lateral components of the elastic web dynamics. It is necessary to develop new models in order to optimize roll-to-roll systems. This paper presents for the first time robust control applied to web dynamics modeled in 3D, including web tension decoupling between consecutive web spans.","PeriodicalId":6862,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 20th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80120515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Context-aware is an important feature of IoT middleware systems. This feature allows to discover, understand, and store relevant information related to devices and their respective events.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have attracted much attention in the research and the industry. In MANETs using ZRP algorithm, nodes use Route REQuest messages (RREQs) to obtain a new route often by bordercasting them to other nodes in the network if they does not find out the destination in their routing zone. This dissemination mechanism guarantees to seek a route from source to destination with high probability. However, it creates many useless routing overhead packets while limited bandwidth and energy consumption are very important issues in MANETs. In order to reduce routing overhead, this paper proposes an approach name Location-Aided Zone Routing Protocol (LAZRP). Simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm can depress routing overhead and end-to-end delay.","PeriodicalId":6862,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 20th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87327404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on this, a decentralized hybrid reconfiguration structure with different intelligence-based reconfiguration strategies as a function of varying product properties is presented, using the example of a conveyor belt system. Through the implementation on a industrial controller, it has been shown that the concept represents a further module in the realization of cyber-physical systems through comprehensive analysis and synthesis of a highly flexible hybrid control loop.","PeriodicalId":6862,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 20th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"33 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90435843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MTF incorporates a reconnaissance phase in the testing procedure so as to assist mapping the capabilities of the tested device and to adjust the attack vectors towards a more guided and informed testing rather than plain random testing. The MTF was used to test eight implementations of the Modbus protocol and revealed bugs and vulnerabilities that crash the execution, effectively resulting in denial of service attacks using only a few network packets.","PeriodicalId":6862,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 20th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73026140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analyzed system form a part of the horticultural fruits sorting machine, which requires a fast and reliable weight measurements. Dynamic weighing of moving objects requires fast and adaptive signal processing techniques in order to guaranty a timely response. Thus, applied signal filtration technique must ensure that the constant component remains free of noise, transient responses of load cell as well as mechanical vibrations. In this paper fast nonstationary filtering method is applied, providing optimal tradeoff between response time and settling time of steady state value. The implementation method uses the distributed approach, where an intelligent sensor captures raw signal and applies adaptive filter. Subsequently, obtained value is transmitted to central unit, that applies weight compensation function to improve the measurement accuracy. All presented results use the real signal acquired in industrial conditions from the tests of sorting machine prototype. The analyzed approach obtains promising results for all sorting modes. Moreover, classical filtering approach is used for comparison purposes and performance evaluation.","PeriodicalId":6862,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 20th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74438975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An interesting use of IoT is in the Industrial field, which has resulted in a new business concept called IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Another important fact is the number of active computing devices has been growing at a rapid pace in IoT environments around the world. Consequently, a mechanism to deal with this different devices has become necessary. Middleware systems solutions for IoT have been developed in both research and industrial environments to supply this need. However, discover, search, select, and interact with devices remain a critical challenge. In this paper we present COBASEN, a software framework composed of a Context Module and a Search Engine to address the research challenge regarding the discovery and interaction with IoT devices when large number of devices with overlapping and sometimes redundant functionality are available in IoT middleware systems. The search engine of the COBASEN operates based on the semantic characteristics of the devices, which is provided by the context module, and that helps users in their interactions with desired devices. The main goal of this work is to highlight the importance of a context-based search engine in the IoT paradigm and to provide a solution that addresses the proper management of search and usage in IoT middleware environments. We developed a tool that implements all COBASEN concepts. However, for preliminarily tests, we made a functional evaluation of the search engine in terms of performance for indexing and querying response time. Our initial findings suggest that COBASEN provides important approaches that facilitate the development of IIoT applications, which based on the COBASEN systems support, may perform essential roles to improve industrial processes.","PeriodicalId":6862,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 20th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"324 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76350236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
