Cyber-Physical-Systems for Fluid Manufacturing Systems

Increased volatility continues to challenge the automotive manufacturer's production performance. More than a century after the start of mass production, changeable production systems that allow the flexibility for the economic mass production of customized products have arisen. Limitations on established production systems are driving the development of changeable production systems like the Fluid Manufacturing System (FLMS). In an FLMS, the individual production modules are mobile and consist of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) which can be combined ad-hoc to adapt to changing requirements. By connecting different CPS - e.g., Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) or smart load carriers - adaptable and flexible production will be achieved. This paper presents the first real-world initiation of an FLMS with the design and development of CPS and digital twins for production and logistics at the ARENA2036 research campus

From monolith to microservices: A container-based en 61131-3 architecture

Internet-of-Things is gaining importance in the field of industrial automation. Furthermore, for long-term success in dynamic markets producing companies need more and more agile and flexible production systems. Therefore, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) as main parts of automation in production systems also need to become more flexible. Today’s PLCs are monolithic and therefore can only deployed as a single piece of software. In this paper, we present a container-based real-time-capable modularized control architecture that uses messaging for inter-module communication and introduces a hardware abstraction layer, in order to increase flexibility, reusability, portability and maintainability. With a benchmark performed on a prototypical implementation, we validate the feasibility of the proposed architecture for practical real-time automation tasks

Entwicklung von Smarten Logistikmodulen als cyber-physische Systeme für Ladungsträger

The growing demand for individualized vehicles and alternative power units are challenging the automotive industry. In order to cope with these challenges and realizing the simultaneous production of different variations and models within the same factory, innovative production systems like the Matrix-structured Manufacturing System or Fluid Manufacturing System have received increasing attention. However, the realization of alternative production systems imply the development and the use of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Hence, by networking production modules, autonomous guided vehicles, smart load carriers and utilizing process relevant information, the aim of a flexible and versatile production can be achieved. This paper describes the development process of Smart Logistics Modules as CPS for Smart Load carriers.Die steigende Nachfragen nach individualisierten Fahrzeugen und alternativen Antriebskonzepten stellen die Automobilindustrie vor neue Herausforderungen. Um diese Herausforderungen zu bewältigen und die simultane Produktion verschiedener Varianten und Modelle innerhalb derselben Fabrik zu ermöglichen, haben innovative Produktionssysteme wie beispielsweise die Matrixproduktion und die Fluide Produktion jüngst zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Jedoch ist für die Realisierung dieser alternativen Produktionssysteme, der Einsatz von CPS erforderlich. Durch die Vernetzung verschiedener Produktionsmodule, Fahrerloser Transportsysteme, Smarte Ladungsträger und der Auslastung relevanter Prozessinformationen kann das Ziel einer flexiblen und wandlungsfähigen Produktion erreicht werden. Die vorliegende Veröffentlichung beschreibt die Entwicklung von Smarten Logistikmodulen als CPS für Smarte Ladungsträger

Parameters affecting to select of contraceptive methods

Aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between choose a contraceptive method and demographic values in patients who examined in our family planning clinic. This study included 252 patients who want to choose a contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy in Zekai Tahir Burak Women Health and Resource Hospital family planning clinic. Risk factors recorded were age, gravidity, parity, duration of marriage, education status, systemic disease and selected contraceptive method. The mean age of the study group was 30.4±8.6 and the mean of the duration of marriage, gravidity, parity were 9.4±6.2(0-12) years, 3.1±1.6 (0-7), 2.6±1.4 (0-5); respectively. The most commonly used method were coitus interruptus (% 30.6). The frequency of other methods were; intrauterine device (IUD) (%29.7),oral contraceptives (%15.1), condom (%11.5), tubal ligation (% 3.1), depot progesterone (%9.12), subcutaneous implants (%0.8); respectively. Women's level of education increases, subcutaneous implants , oral contraceptives and IUD use was increasing (p [Med-Science 2016; 5(3.000): 790-2

A novel immobilization matrix for the biosensing of phenol: self assembled monolayers of calixarenes

Sayin, Serkan/0000-0003-0518-3208WOS: 000405114700014Aim: The development of calixarene based phenol biosensor. Methods: This study describes the application of a calixarene derivative, 5,17-diamino-25,27-bis(3-thiol-1- oxypropane)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4] arene (HS-Calix-NH2) which has both amino and thiol functionalities, in the practical surface modifications for biomolecule binding. The structure of HS-Calix-NH2 allows easy interaction with Au surface and one-step biomolecule immobilization. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of p-amino-functionalized mercaptoalkylcalixarene (HS-Calix-NH2) were formed onto the Au electrode. Then, Laccase (Lac) enzyme was immobilized onto the modified surface by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GA). Resulted electrode (HS-Calix-NH2/Lac) was used for the electrochemical analysis of phenolic compounds at -50 mV. Results: The linearity was observed in the range of 0.1-100 mu M and 1.0-100 mu M for catechol and phenol, respectively. The potential use of the biosensor was investigated for phenol analysis in artificial samples which simulate the industrial waste water, which is highly acidic and composed of concentrated salt, without needing any sample pre-treatment step. Conclusion: The prepared Lac biosensor has a potential for rapid, selective and easy detection of phenolic contaminations in samples.TUBITAKTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [TUBITAK-2209]; European Union through the COST Action "Supramolecular photocatalytic water splitting (PERSPECT-H2O)" [CM1202]; Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [113T022]; Turkish Academy of Sciences-Outstanding Young Scientists Award Program (TUBA-GEBIP)Turkish Academy of SciencesDr. D.O.
