About

Lucian Mastacan is a researcher whose work bridges the gap between industrial automation and advanced control systems. His primary research areas include real-time communication protocols, robotic control, and fuzzy logic applications in manufacturing. Mastacan’s most significant contribution is the development of a remote real-time communication method using Open Platform Communication (OPC) technology to control a 3-DoF robot, as detailed in his 2019 paper. This multidisciplinary approach directly addresses challenges faced by industries transitioning to the fourth industrial revolution, enabling seamless integration between automation software and programmable logic controllers. With 6 citations, this work stands as his most influential, demonstrating practical solutions for modern factory floors. Earlier, in 1994, Mastacan explored the use of fuzzy logic controllers for commanding Roblin linear transport robots, showcasing his long-standing interest in intelligent automation. His research is particularly valuable for students and engineers seeking to understand how legacy systems can be upgraded for Industry 4.0 environments, offering a clear pathway from theoretical control methods to real-world industrial implementation.
