“…There are various kinds of useful approaches, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) [1][2][3], ZigBee, WiFi [4][5][6][7], have been proved in many research studies over the past years. Recently, a robotics company (Marvelmind Robotics: Sunnyvale, CA, USA) has even launched an "Indoor GPS" with ±2 cm precision based on stationary ultrasonic beacons united by radio interface in a license-free band [8].…”

Abstract:The application of autonomous vehicles has grown dramatically in recent years. Not only has the rail-guided vehicle (RGV) been used widely in traditional production lines, the automatic guided vehicle (AGV) has also been increasingly used. Positioning and path planning are two major functions of autonomous vehicles; however, there are many ways to fulfill the above requirements. The infrared remote control has been heavily and successfully used in home appliances for decades, which has encouraged us to apply this mature and cost-effective technology to an autonomous vehicle. By decoding the coded signal from the infrared light-emitting diode (LED), which is equipped on the ceiling, the autonomous vehicle can be positioned with an accuracy of less than 50 mm. On the other hand, by changing the beam pattern of infrared light from the ceiling, an invisible route can be produced on the ground. That is to say, instead of the traditional rail-guided method, these invisible paths can guide the autonomous vehicle. We have implemented a prototype of an autonomous vehicle system based on the above concept, with the aim of creating a simple and reliable approach for the navigation of an indoor autonomous vehicle.

Diagnostyka. 2018;19(2):95-103 Jadavpur University, bipantudu@gmail.com 5 Jadavpur University, rb@iee.jusl.ac.in Abstract Blast furnace operation requires highest quality raw materials, operation and operators. Among them coke is the most important, in terms of its effect on operation and hot metal quality. A good grade coke produces highest thermal energy and it is highly efficient in case of metal reduction. Usage of good grade coke to blast furnace will ensure lower coke rate, higher productivity and lower hot metal cost. In order to concentrate the free atmosphere. There is need to automate the coke oven operations as much as possible. In order to improve the level of control and management of coke oven, the research on intelligent control system is carried out. In modern advanced control system of coke oven, the control scheme of combination, feedback & feed-forward merged with management are widely utilized. The integrated management and control system of coke oven is introduced systematically, including the production plan and scheduling management (Dynamic scheduling) & heating control system (Mathematical modeling) i.e. evaluating battery temperature, intelligent combustion control and pressure control of gas collector of coke oven battery.

“…Passive RFID tags have the advantage of the small size, high level of ruggedness, relatively inexpensive installation, and low maintenance needs; the theoretical detection range is within 10 m but the reflections can cause false readings which heavily affect the effectiveness of the localization. IPSs based on RFID systems have been widely explored and discussed in scientific literature [41][42][43][44][45][46]. While in WSN-based IPSs, anchor and mobile nodes are normally realized using the same hardware and exchange ranging information in a peer-to-peer fashion; in RFID-based IPSs, two distinct schemes are instead generally possible [44]: (1) in the 'active' scheme, the mobile node is implemented by a portable RFID reader, while tags are used as anchors; (2) in the 'passive' scheme, RFID tags are instead objects to be located while RFID readers are in known position.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), consisting of a large number of nodes to detect ambient environment, are widely deployed in a predefined area to provide more sophisticated sensing, communication, and processing capabilities, especially concerning the maintenance when hundreds or thousands of nodes are required to be deployed over wide areas at the same time. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, by reading the low-cost passive tags installed on objects or people, has been widely adopted in the tracing and tracking industry and can support an accurate positioning within a limited distance. Joint utilization of WSN and RFID technologies is attracting increasing attention within the Internet of Things (IoT) community, due to the potential of providing pervasive context-aware applications with advantages from both fields. WSN-RFID convergence is considered especially promising in context-aware systems with indoor positioning capabilities, where data from deployed WSN and RFID systems can be opportunistically exploited to refine and enhance the collected data with position information. In this paper a , we design and evaluate a hybrid system which combines WSN and RFID technologies to provide an indoor positioning service with the capability of feeding position information into a general-purpose IoT environment. Performance of the proposed system is evaluated by means of simulations and a small-scale experimental set-up. The performed analysis demonstrates that the joint use of heterogeneous technologies can increase the robustness and the accuracy of the indoor positioning systems.
