In the present day, industry has been brought closer to the Industry 4.0 paradigm due to its needs of reaching better industrial communications and improving the control process. According to the IIoT concepts, Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) are normally connected to each other, and also connected to the virtual world of global digital networks. By introducing the IEC-61499 standard, CPPS...
The Internet of Things (IoT) considers interconnected things e.g., devices that consumes web services through the internet. Such kind of devices may vary from smart phones, smart TVs, medical devices or industrial devices. Thanks to the development of the ICT field, many standards supports the existence of the IoT devices: HTTP (Hypertext Transferring Protocol), MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport),...
Controller area network (CAN) has been the de facto standard in the automotive industry for the past two decades. Recently, CAN with flexible data-rate (CAN FD) has been standardized, which achieves noticeably higher throughput. Further improvements are still possible for CAN, by exploiting its peculiar physical layer to carry out distributed operations among network nodes, implemented as atomic transactions...
This paper conducts an investigation on the sensitivity of incident energy to critical arc flash parameters. In order to perform such task, the authors explore the causes of arc flash by presenting the underlying concepts associated with short-circuit fault analysis, and use these concepts to model and simulate arc flash scenarios by employing IEEE 1584 standard. An electrical system representative...
In publishing data there are not only technical questions but it opens a Pandora's box of interlocking social, legal and political issues. We seek to address the multiplicity of paths emanating from opening data by considering the limits and benefits of the source technology. We extend this debate to a movement called Open Data. This paper seeks to lay out a process and form a discussion to make data...
Much like the proliferation of different Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) within the DoD Services, there has been a similar proliferation of various programming languages for developing Test Program Sets (TPS) to be used on those same ATE. The use of multiple languages leads to a variety of unfavorable situations, including, among others: • Complexity of re-hosting software to new ATE • Difficulty transitioning...
Open digital network that connects all intelligent devices to build advanced control systems that involves “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIOT) is expected for Industry 4.0. Physical layer using Ethernet for process automation which enables data communication infrastructure from system levels down to the field devices will bring this vision to process industries.
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...
While traditional project planning approaches focus on precise scheduling of tasks, the ESSENCE standard proposes a higher-level approach that focuses on monitoring. Hence, a new kind of process visualization that picks up ideas of Kanban boards and physical cards is sketched in the standard. This tool paper presents a dashboard application refining, extending, and implementing these ideas based on...
The Black Box concept in automotive industry is adopted from aviation industry and is mandatory in some countries. In developing countries like India, this system is not commercialized because of the unavailability of norms from the government. But, with the growing demand of vehicles and adaption of new emission standard by the government, more safety systems will be the need of near future and this...
The digital revolution in manufacturing process demand a communication standard which meets the requirements of the manufacturing floor. Additional sensing technology for predictive maintenance add new quality of service requirements to the industrial network. Managing different communication requirements for motion control, programmable logic control and predictive maintenance is the key challenge...
Many technical and vocational universities are established with an aim of matching up with national and industrial development so as to cultivate senior talents economic in professional technology application. Thus, human resources and qualities of graduates from higher technical and vocational education system exert considerable influences on national economic, industrial and commercial development...
Because that the taxi industry generally appears a series of problems such as “difficult to take a taxi”, “high part money”, and the consumption demand presents the multi-level diversification trend as people income growth as well, the tailored taxi arose, remitting the contradiction of supply and demand of taxi service problems and providing people with a variety of service. But in the meantime,...
Selecting the data from 1997 to 2015, by using Poisson regression to analyze the influencing factors of China's anti-dumping initiation and of China's anti-dumping affirmative ruling, this paper found out that when domestic firms initiated anti-dumping complaints and the Ministry of Commerce made anti-dumping rulings, their decisions were significantly affected by factors such as real GDP growth rate,...
The fourth industrial revolution is shaping the development of companies in the automation domain, encompassing several trends such as Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things. Even though promising new technologies have arisen in the last years, there are still many challenges to overcome, particularly that of generalized acceptance. In this paper, the latest trends related to requirements...
This paper is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the IEEE Republic of Macedonia Section, as part of one of the largest world professional organization. Beside the historical facts about the evolution of IEEE from AIEE and IRE and the meaning of its organization logo, and on the IEEE today, the paper concentrates on the history of the IEEE Republic of Macedonia Section. Firstly, an overview of friendly...
Software Quality is a multidimensional concept for which Reliability is considered as a key attribute. Notwithstanding, due to its conceptual complexity, there is no common agreement on what Software Reliability is, thus different stakeholders use a variety of Software Reliability views. With the aim to improve our understanding of what Software Reliability means for industrial stakeholders as well...
