The state-of-the art education system should be in time for the knowledge-intensive technologies, that are developing with a high pace and be as mobile and effective as possible. The development of science-intensive technologies is developing with a tremendous pace, so the knowledge obtained in the university is quickly becoming obsolete, therefore the modernization of equipment should go in synchronism...
Cyber-physical Production Systems (CPPS) are one of the technical driving forces behind the transformation of industrial production towards "digital factory of the future" in the context of Industry 4.0. Security is a major concern for such systems as they become more intelligent, interconnected, and coupled with physical devices. For various security activities from security analysis to...
The purpose of this study is to identify the most prominent approaches to quality management and industrial engineering of rival products; putting a particular emphasis on quality management systems. As the dominant sources of information for the research were used official quality standards, numerous articles, monographs, textbooks and manuals. The paper studies modern quality management tools and...
The basis for the fourth industrial revolution is the availability of accessing all relevant information in real time by connecting all instances involved in the value chain. The ultimate goal is to manage the entire value chain process, improving efficiencies in the production process and coming up with better products and services. The essence of vertical networking comes from the use of cyber-physical...
Future automated systems are connected to each other in a production network with the goal to manage, schedule and operate the manufacturing process of individual products autonomously. Therefore a semantic language is necessary to empower the systems to fulfil their tasks. In this content eCl@ss is often mentioned as applicable to describe products. In this paper we conduct a study to describe an...
Modern process plants are becoming more and more complex, with high demands placed on design, engineering and operation. Throughout the lifecycle of process plants, there is always the typical conflict involving costs, time and quality. One way of resolving this conflict is to consider simulation technology as it can be used to answer questions relating to engineering and operation earlier and with...
Information technology (IT) is one of the most important drivers of innovation in production and automation. In Germany, the term Industrie 4.0 summarizes various activities and developments involved in the evolution of industrial processes in production, logistics, automation, etc. Many research and development projects work on different aspects of these developments. In the view of politics, industry,...
In the engineering and manufacturing domain, there is currently an atmosphere of departure to a new era of digitized production. In different regions, initiatives in these directions are known under different names, such as industrie du futur in France, industrial internet in the US or Industrie 4.0 in Germany. While the vision of digitizing production and manufacturing gained much traction lately,...
In packaging industry, the duration of the carton folding plays a fundamental role in the production process; in particular in the erection process when each panel rotates around the die-pressed lines called creases. Their bending response can be very complex, depending on forming and environment conditions. The crease mechanical properties, such as geometrical parameters, temperature, moisture and...
The German working committee for “Industrie 4.0” identified the horizontal integration throughout value networks and the vertical integration of networked manufacturing systems as key issues in the context of smart factories. For this purpose we aim for a universal model-driven industrial engineering framework spanning over production chains and value networks. Thereby, we build up on the Resource...
This paper presents the efforts taken to have sustainable human capital development for the automotive industry in Malaysia by Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI). The efforts must be driven by industry and it should consider the technology trends, market demand and government policy. MAI as a focal point for the automotive industry should create a platform for educators and industry players to come...
Technological processes in the raw material industry often operate continuously and requirements for high robustness and fail safe operation of the information and control systems are defined for them to fall into the fault-tolerant category. A critical element of fault-tolerant solutions ensures the continuity of data in databases. Data on the course of technological processes assume the nature he...
Graduates from our Media technology programmes (BSc in Audio and Music Production, and MSc in Broadcast and Media Production) enter an extremely competitive employment market, driven by the challenge "what can you do". Thus a competency-orientated syllabus was designed providing a breadth of knowledge and experience so students had wider employment prospects through multi-skilling. It was...
In mechatronics engineering the execution of experiments and tests is an important activity during development of new products and maintenance of released products. Planning and execution of experiments and tests is an essential cost and time factor. To keep the development time short it is necessary to have well-managed processes in the test department and to plan, organize, source out or execute,...
Energy management standards received significant attention in recent years for assisting intensive users in improving energy management processes. However, applying such a standard to the Energy Management System of an industrial consumer is most effective if supported by an Energy Information Management System. Energy Information Management Systems are commercially available and have been applied...
Hebei is the largest fruit production province in northern China, even in the whole country, the output is among the best of candidates. But the export scale is far behind the production scale, compare with Shandong province and other major exporting areas in the word, great gap still exists between Hebei and them. According to the latest data got from National Bureau of Statistics and Hebei Import...
Server evaluation in an enterprise environment is important but technically demanding. An application benchmark based on a tailored enterprise application system is described in this paper. The real workload set gives better production relevance and more focus on customer's requirement, leading to a more practical evaluation of enterprise server. Detailed analysis is made on the design and implementation...
Under the pressure of global financial crisis and the tend of domestic industry transformation and upgrade, it is imperative for the Pearl River Delta as the birthplace of China's processing trade to transform urgently for catching up with a competitive advantage. On the other hand, the academic research on transformation and upgrade of processing trade enterprises is drawing more and more people's...
Based on the Low-Rate initial production of China's aeroengine, this paper systematically investigates the difficulties met in Low-Rate initial production. In order to satisfy the power needs for china's major aircrafts, in allusion to the characteristics of this stage, it is focused to improve the development process of aeroengine Low-Rate initial production, and guarantee quality and safety and...
Safety is important factor in industry. This article should show that there can be better way to take care about safety functions, than hard-wired components. It should show that use of integrated safety solutions can bring a lot of advantages to industrial applications.
