An Auto-configuration 4M Group Management using Wireless Sensor Networks for Reconfigurable Manufacturing System

The first tier of automotive manufacturers has faced to pressures about move,modify,updating tasks for manufacturing resources in production processes from demand response of production order sequence for motor company and process innovation purpose for productivity. For meets this requirements,it has to require absolutely lead time to re-wiring of physical interface for production equipment,needs for change existing program and test over again.For prepare this constraints,it needs studying an auto-configuration functions that build for both visibility and flexibility based on the 4M(Man,Machine,Material, Method)group management which is supports from WSN (Wireless Sensor Network)of the open embedded device called M2M(Machine to Machine)and major functions of middleware including point manager for real-time device communication,real-time data management,Standard API (Application Program Interface)and application template management.To be application system to RMS (Reconfigurable Manufacturing System)for rapidly response from various orders and model from motor company that is beginning to establishing the mapping of manufacturing resources of 4M using WSN.

Neighboring AP discovery and information exchange methods in Plug-and-Play WLAN system

To overcome the problem of existing neighboring access point （AP） discovery methods in WLAN, for example they （PnP） of mul proposed. Us can not provide the accurate neighboring APs information needed for the Plug-and-Play ti-mode APs, three kinds of neighboring AP discovery and information exchange methods are ing these three neighboring AP discovery methods, passive discovery method, active discovery method and station assistant discovery method, the multi-mode AP can discover all neighboring APs and obtain needed information. We further propose two whole process flows, which combine three discovery methods in different manner, to achieve different goals. One process flow is to discover the neighboring AP as fast as possible, called fast discovery process flow. The other is to discover the neighboring AP with minimal interference to neighboring and accuracy of the method is confirmed APs, called the minimal interference process flow. The validity by the simulation.
