To improve the existing methods of identifying the key quality characteristics in multistage manufacturing process, the partial least squares regression (PLSR) method is combined with the state space model that a new method of identifying the key quality characteristics in multistage manufacturing process based on PLSR is proposed. According to the feature of multistage manufacturing process, the state space model is introduced to build the key quality characteristics identifying model for multistage manufacturing process, using the PLSR method to solve the problem of the quality characteristics such as multicollinearity, do model analyzing and identify the key quality characteristics. At last, the cigarette production process is presented as an example to introduce the application of this method. The result shows that this method can not only identify the key quality characteristics in multistage manufacturing process, but also establish the model of output quality effecting of all levels on the final product quality and its quality characteristics relationship, which reflect the structure of the multistage manufacturing process and causal relationship between quality characteristics at all process levels, provide the basis for quality analysis and control in multistage manufacturing process.

This paper presents a methodology for diagnostics of fixture failures in multistage manufacturing processes (MMP). The diagnostic methodology is based on the state-space model of the MMP process, which includes part fixturing layout geometry and sensor location. The state space model of the MMP characterizes the propagation of fixture fault variation along the production stream, and is used to generate a set of predetermined fault variation patterns. Fixture faults are then isolated by using mapping procedure that combines the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with pattern recognition approach. The fault diagnosability conditions for three levels: (a) within single station, (b) between stations, and (c) for the overall process, are developed. The presented analysis integrates the state space model of the process and matrix perturbation theory to estimate the upper bound for isolationability of fault pattern vectors caused by correlated and uncorrelated noises. A case study illustrates the proposed method.

In this article, a novel approach for model-based sensor fault detection and estimation of gas turbine is presented. The proposed method includes driving a state-space model of gas turbine, designing a novel L1-norm Lyapunov-based observer, and a decision logic which is based on bank of observers. The novel observer is designed using multiple Lyapunov functions based on L1-norm, reducing the estimation noise while increasing the accuracy. The L1-norm observer is similar to sliding mode observer in switching time. The proposed observer also acts as a low-pass filter, subsequently reducing estimation chattering. Since a bank of observers is required in model-based sensor fault detection, a bank of L1-norm observers is designed in this article. Corresponding to the use of the bank of observers, a two-step fault detection decision logic is developed. Furthermore, the proposed state-space model is a hybrid data-driven model which is divided into two models for steady-state and transient conditions, according to the nature of the gas turbine. The model is developed by applying a subspace algorithm to the real field data of SGT-600 (an industrial gas turbine). The proposed model was validated by applying to two other similar gas turbines with different ambient and operational conditions. The results of the proposed approach implementation demonstrate precise gas turbine sensor fault detection and estimation.

Abstract The modeling of counter-current leaching plant (CCLP) in Koryo Extract Production is presented in this paper. Koryo medicine is a natural physic to be used for a diet and the medical care. The counter-current leaching method is mainly used for producing Koryo medicine. The purpose of the modeling in the previous works is to indicate the concentration distributions, and not to describe the model for the process control. In literature, there are no nearly the papers for modeling CCLP and especially not the presence of papers that have described the issue for extracting the effective components from the Koryo medicinal materials. First, this paper presents that CCLP can be shown like the equivalent process consisting of two tanks, where there is a shaking apparatus, respectively. It allows leachate to flow between two tanks. Then, this paper presents the principle model for CCLP and the state space model on based it. The accuracy of the model has been verified from experiments made at CCLP in the Koryo Extract Production at the Gang Gyi Koryo Manufacture Factory.
