Solair IoT for Smart Manufacturing
The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way manufacturers can do business, enabling critical data to be supplied in real time and allowing smarter and faster decision-making processes across the end-to-end value chain. Let’s take a look at the scenario.
group technology
Group technology is a manufacturing philosophy that groups similar parts into families based on their attributes. Parts in a family are processed by a group of dissimilar machines called a machine cell. There are three main methods to form part families: manual visual inspection, production flow analysis, and classification/coding. Classification/coding systems assign symbols to parts to represent design/manufacturing attributes, with the three main types being monocode (hierarchical), polycode (attribute-based), and hybrid codes.
Flexible manufacturing systems
The document discusses software selection and specifications for flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). It outlines both absolute and functional specifications that should be considered. Absolute specifications include detailed system characteristics, user interface, software design, verification and testing, and documentation. Functional specifications include cost, quality, programming capabilities, controlled applications, management applications, and reporting. The document also discusses trends in FMS, including how flexibility and cost will be major factors, and how simulation software can be used to analyze and evaluate existing or proposed manufacturing systems.
Fms (1)
The adjusted flow matrix is obtained as:
F = [[0, 40, 490, 250, 180],
[40, 0, 70, 200, 120],
[490, 70, 0, 280, 210],
[250, 200, 280, 0, 150],
[180, 120, 210, 150, 0]]
The heuristic algorithm provides the following sequence:
3 - 1 - 4 - 2 - 5
Hence, the recommended linear single row layout is:
3 1 4 2 5
This minimizes the total material handling cost by placing machines with highest flow between them closest. The clearance between machines must also be ensured as per the data provided.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
