Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
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%.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.

Focus in shipbuilding shifts to qualitative
upgrading, rather than quantitative
expansion. New regulations and
requirements put pressure on shipyards
and their technological development.
To cope with these challenges, there is a
strong demand for technological know
how and innovative solutions.
Linking design and production
Innovations in the shape and functionality
of ships demand for technological
developments in shipbuilding. For
example, new hull designs require special
attention in assembly. The solution for
the production of complex designs is 3D
CAD. By linking the 3D CAD design and
the actual production with intelligent
software, highly accurate constructions
can be achieved.

5. ‘Being fanatic in robot engineering’
‘At kranendonk, we use clear methods
when designing new robot applications.
Whether it's a specialized welding tool
or a software interface, our way of work-
ing is characterized by an approach we
call Triple C. The first C is for Construction.
Creating a rigid construction that handles a
harsh production environment is the main
requirement. Secondly, Calibration makes
sure our systems are extremely accurate.
By applying software corrections, we make
a robot more accurate that it can physically
be. Lastly, Controls are being developed. We
use smart software to enable easy opera-
tion of the machines. In any new develop-
ment process, we pay attention to every
detail. You can call us fanatical about this.’

6. Shipbuilding is all about
production flow
Welding of assemblies is a
perfect job for robots
Automating key parts in the process chain
In shipbuilding, it is all about the production flow.
Processes have to be aligned as raw steel plates are
turned into giant vessels. The challenge is to keep
the flow running, while maintaining a tight grip on
building quality.
The shipbuilding process is one of the most complex
construction jobs created by man. All production
processes that run separately have their respected
challenges. Since 1987, kranendonk is the leading
technology supplier for advanced robotics in
shipbuilding. We offer advanced robotic systems to
automate key parts in the process chain.
In the process we focus on:
Profile and cutting shops (step 2) By linking all sys-
tems, we improve your flow and realize large cost
savings. Smart storage and just-in-time delivery cre-
ates an effective cutting shop.
Assembly and welding shops (step 3) Welding of webs,
panels and 3D sections is a perfect job for robots.
Controlling them is the challenge, so we focus on data
flow and intelligent software tools. It saves manual
welding and improves production quality.
Pipe shop (step 5) By robotizing the pipe shop, the
production time for each pipe goes from hours to
minutes. Major cost savings are realized by our inte-
grated solution.

8. Setting the right course for the future
Exploration of deepwater oil fields is
increasingly economically viable. It results
in more operations in remote areas. The
Seven Oceans has been developed to
perform pipe laying operations in these
areas, where conditions are tough. Despite
its compact design, the vessel has a high
payload and excellent seakeeping charac-
teristics. IHC Merwede shipyard – a long
term customer of kranendonk – launched
the Seven Oceans in 2010.

10. Integrating logistics for the perfect flow
Integrating the logistics around profile processing
increases productivity and flow. A fully equipped
plant features a range of components: cutting cells,
logistical equipment and dedicated production soft-
ware. We deliver all software and hardware to build
such a shop, realizing just-in-time production.
The cutting lines can be equipped with roller con-
veyors and infeed and outfeed buffers for tempo-
rary profile storage. Additionally, high-rise storage
systems can be placed before and after the system.
This results in an optimal production flow.
Highest quality components
A key component in the profile processing shop is
the CCS 600 cutting cell. The cutting cell is based
on our standardized ccs concept. All electrical and
measuring components are integrated into the rigid
base frame, resulting in a durable cutting system
that withstands a harsh shipbuilding environment.
The production software adapts the cutting path to
the actual dimension of each profile, so the highest
accuracy is achieved. By setting up a direct CAD
interface, your work preparation time is reduced to
almost zero.
Efficient profile processing is important for a shipyard.
The focus should be on creating a perfect flow, where
all machines are synchronized with planning and stock.
kranendonk connects all machines into one solution.

'We maximize your output by realizing a
perfect production flow'
‘Over the past 30 years we have delivered
dozens of profile cutting lines to shipyards
all over the world. Our success is based on
the competence to integrate all related
processes into one complete solution that
is centrally controlled. It means that one
man runs a complete profile cutting shop.
The most advanced profile shops can cut
more than 3 km of profiles per day. With
these advanced systems, you can save
heavily on labour costs and maximize your
output per square meter of shopfloor.’

Milling a constant radius
To improve the quality of coatings in shipbuilding,
IMO PSPC demands the preparation (rounding) of
plate edges. Automation of this process requires
an adaptive machine that perfectly follows plate
contours. The Edge Preparation System combines
proven CNC technology with a state-of-the-art force
controlled milling system. The system machines
both sides without turning of the plate. Advanced
software with a touch interface makes sure that
operation is easy.

12. Challenges in construction
Ship panels, webs and block sections demand
consistent and high precision welding. These sub-
assemblies are one-of-a-kind operations with many
hard-to-reach spots. kranendonk's welding robots
can reach these difficult places and make optimal
use of the available space, with no collisions.
Automation for 'one-offs'
Welding in shipbuilding is non-repetitive, mean-
ing that the programming has to be automated.
kranendonk offers a software solution called
RinasWeld, which is the most advanced production
tool for welding robots available. Also, we offer easy
to use shopfloor interfaces for direct data entry.
Robotic panel and web welding
Whether it is about large panels, micro panels or
webs, kranendonk's travelling gantries offer the
most flexible solution. Our panel and web wel-
ding systems support one, two or four robots. The
robots simultaneously weld and smartly distribute
tasks between them. The rigid design of the gantries
ensures extreme stability and high quality welding.
Double hull welding with tiny robots
Welding the double hull of a ship is difficult because
of the limited space. Our Double Hull Welding
Gantry performs automated robot welding of these
sections. Tiny robots on extendable sticks can
manoeuvre into the smallest spaces of the blocks.
Coping with the complexity
of designs

Direct data entry at the shopfloor
Direct data entry gives the operator the ability to
control the system by entering parameters. This
way, the operator does not require knowledge
about robot programming. It makes operation easy.
Depending on the complexity of the products, the
robots can be programmed by direct data entry at
the shopfloor, or by importing of 3D CAD models.
We have the most flexible solution for your yard.
The sophisticated RinasWeld software
For complex assemblies, kranendonk offers the
world's most sophisticated robot programming soft-
ware: RinasWeld. This software prepares the pro-
duction tasks in the office, by using 3D CAD data of
the product. RinasWeld gives maximum flexibility,
as all programming tasks are performed automati-
cally. RinasWeld balances the work load between
multiple robots to maximize productivity.

14. A unique automation solution for shipyards
The production of pipe spools is a true craftsman's
job. Flanges have to be welded to the tubes within
strict tolerances. The process is hard to automate,
but we offer a unique solution that does the job. All
processes are integrated and centrally controlled, to
create the first robotic pipe shop in the world.
From 4 hours to 8 minutes production time
The robotic pipe shop is the result of a thorough
analysis of the production of pipe spools in the ship-
building industry. The robotized pipe shop brings
the production time for a pipe spool back from
4 hours to 8 minutes. The central control system
takes care of the production flow and monitors
each tube individually.
Fully automated from infeed to bending
The pipes go from the storage through a sawing
machine. After sawing, rest material is fed back into
the storage. Next, the pipe is grinded, to maximize
welding quality. Four robots mount and weld the
flanges to the pipes. Then, the pipes are ready to go
to the bending lines. Bending of the pipes is done
with the flanges attached. All these steps make
sure that the pipe shop reaches high capacity and
quality.

the future pipe shop

15. 'We revolutionize the pipe shop'
'Manufacturing pipe spools is a skilful job.
Welders are trained to mount the flanges
within tight tolerances. We found that
it is truly a craftsman's job, which made
it challenging to automate. During the
development of the robotic pipe shop,
key parts of the flow were changed. Now,
the flanges are mounted before the tubes
are bent. When we installed the first
robotic pipe shop, we used the welder's
knowledge to fine-tune the system. Their
craftsmanship has been translated into a
smart robot system, that revolutionizes
the traditional pipe shop.'
