Increasing the number of product variants expected by the customers; decreasing product life cycles; operating existing production systems as long as possible, all these factors make the planning of new or the reconfiguration of existing assembly systems a complex and time-consuming task. Yet assembly planners lack adequate tool support in taking the right decisions by such competitive goals and to...
Simulation is a tool offering several advantages in the field of automated manufacturing systems, permitting their analysis and evaluation overcoming complexity, cost, scaling, risk, and timing issues. Gamification technologies may complement limitations of conventional engineering systems towards a more natural human way of working. A gaming platform is utilized for the purpose of building an industrial...
This paper deals with the problem of damping driveline oscillations, which is crucial to improving driveability and passenger comfort. This problem has received an increased interest due to the introduction of the dual-clutch powershift automatic transmission with dry clutches. This type of transmission improves fuel economy, but it results in a challenging control problem, due to driveline oscillations...
Robotic manipulation involves actions where contacts occur between the robot and the objects. In this scope, the availability of physics-based engines allows motion planners to comprise dynamics between rigid bodies, which is necessary for planning this type of actions. However, physics-based motion planning is computationally intensive due to the high dimensionality of the state space and the need...
Healthcare costs are booming as population ages and need healthcare. Pervasive applications are expected to take healthcare into people's homes and thus cut health-related costs. However, the lack of appropriate middleware to collect and integrate pervasive data is a brake to their development. In this paper, we present the integration of iCasa and Cilia, two service-oriented frameworks, and show...
In remanufacturing industry, an efficient and effective decision making system is always needed to decide whether a used component should be repaired or replaced. The principle issue is to design a decision making strategy that can accommodate various application scenarios. In this paper, a generic framework is proposed for decision making in remanufacturing. The proposed approach is characterized...
Flexibility and adaptability are major challenges for modern production systems. To realize them integration approaches are required. Within this paper a literature survey on integration approaches and integration approach types is described based on an attempt towards a detailed characterization of both. It is intended to enable an informed decision for research and development directions towards...
