In this study, we proposed a simulator for the development of a digital multi-process welding machine and a welding process monitoring system. The simulator, which mimics the data generation process of the welding machine, is composed of process control circuit, peripheral device circuit, and wireless communication circuit. Utilizing this simulator, we aimed to develop a welding process monitoring system that can monitor the welding situations of four multi-process welding machines and three processes each, with data transmission through wireless communication. Through the operation of the proposed simulator, sequential digital processing of multi-process welding data and wireless communication were achieved. The welding process monitoring system enabled real-time monitoring and accumulation of the process data. The selection of upper and lower limits for process variables was carried out using a deep neural network based on allowable changes in bead shape, enabling the management of welding quality by applying a process control technique based on the trend of received data.

Water treatment process simulator is the tool for predicting sequential changes of water quality in a train of unit processes. This predicts the changes through governing equations that represent physicochemical performance of each unit processes with an initial and boundary conditions. Since there is no operational data for the design of a water treatment facility, there is no choice but to predict the performance of the facility by assuming initial and boundary conditions in virtual reality. Therefore, a simulator that can be applied in the design stage of a water treatment facility has no choice but to be built as a numerical analysis model of a deductive technique. In this study, we had conducted basic research on governing equations, inter-process data-flow, and simulator algorithms for the development of simulators. Lastly, this study will contribute to design engineering tool development research in the future by establishing the water treatment theory so that it can be programmed in a virtual world and suggesting a method for digital transformation of the water treatment process.
