Manufacturing System Scheduling and Controlling

Abstract

This chapter reports on the recent advancement of manufacturing system scheduling and controling with 7 contributions.

In their article entitled “Printing pressure control algorithm of roll-to-roll web system for printed electronics,” Kyung-Hyun Choi, Tran Trung Thanh, Yang Bong Su, and Dong-Soo Kim propose a mathematical model of roll printing pressure control system and then design a full state feedback controller with gains determined optimally by using the modified genetic algorithm as well as the back-stepping approach. This study shows that, with the rapid development of sensor technology, electronic devices, and powerful computer, the proposed control algorithm of full state feedback controller can result in a control system with high precision.
