Effective evaluation of the productivity and safety of manual operations is essential for successful planning of operations as well as for workplace design. However, actions employed by production planners to improve productivity might adversely impact the ergonomic safety of workers. To address this issue, methods and tools are required that enable simultaneous evaluation of the efficiency and safety...
The authors are motivated to investigate an effective method for achieving the knowledge-driven design in order to address the efficiency drawback in common CAD applications. In this paper, a systematic method, to embed in-depth engineering knowledge and to realize smart design changes in an advanced feature-based design, is proposed. To proof the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed...
Mixed Reality (MR) technology has the potential to support the improvement of the service productivity by augmenting the experience and intuition of service users and providers. However, in order to make the MR technology including Augmented-Reality (AR) widespread in the service industry, it is necessary to raise the ease of the social implementation by reducing the costs on sensing and content management...
The novelty method is used for analyses and diagnoses of product line. The virtual design and modeling method are introduced through the real case. In simulation environment, it showed that there were some bottle-neck processes because of defective manufacturing technology. After produce line rebuilt in simulation, the average manufacturing technology time was about 41.2s. The utility ratio of machines...
The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications, via effective collaboration and communication of stakeholders in construction projects. Digital construction is a political initiative to address low productivity in the sector. This seeks...
Collaborative working environments consist of a network of spatially dispersed actors (either humans or not) that play different roles and cooperate to achieve a common goal. Notwithstanding the ever increasing potential of innovative software and network technologies, collaborative working environments still require advanced solutions to effectively managing their inherent complexity, thereby boosting...
