Applying the Cyber-Physical Integration Technology on Material Color Discrimination

This study adopted cyber physical system (CPS) with the entity physical component and the cyber factory then developed the cyber-physical integration application scheme in an innovative and integrated way for material color discrimination in automation system. First, the optical fiber amplifier of the solid mechanism was adopted to detect the color value of materials, and then it was transmitted to programmable logic controller (PLC) for calculation and analysis to judge the colors of materials. Based on the results, the materials were sent to the cyber factory for operation. With human-machine interface (HMI) as the main axis of operation, the automatic system for cyber-physical integration was constructed by integrating the material color discrimination system of entity mechanism and the automatic cyber factory built by simulation software.
