This paper proposed using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and wireless sensor technology of the Internet of things to manage the user gas equipment, and built a preliminary solution aiming at the problems that existed in the user gas equipment management, which included: the real-time monitoring of user gas equipment, the reliability of the inspection data and the design of the Internet...
Cloud computing as a potential paradigm offers tremendous advantages to enterprises. With the cloud computing, the market's entrance time is reduced, computing capabilities is augmented and computing power is really limitless. Usually, to use the full power of cloud computing, cloud users has to rely on external cloud service provider for managing their data. Nevertheless, the management of data and...
Many pulp and paper operations use hardware-based Continuous Emissions Monitoring systems (CEMS) to track boiler emissions. This hardware approach uses pumps, filters and analyzing instruments to draw emissions from the combustion equipment and measure their levels. Using hardware can be costly and time consuming as it requires daily deployments of calibration gases to confirm the system is providing...
An increasing number of companies are distributing their software production processes around the world, for productivity gains, cost savings and quality improvements. Software engineers have recognized the great influence of this form of work and are looking for models to facilitate projects with distributed teams. In addition to the engineers also project managers have faced challenges at different...
Brazilian Software Process Improvement is a model that was developed by the Association for Brazilian Software Excellence Promotion to the reality of Brazilian companies with a focus on micro, small and medium-sized organizations. Was the need to align to some capacity model and maturity The Extension Center of Technology in the faculty Paraiso of Ceará, was prepared for future certification, with...
Information disclosure is a critical determinant of portfolio allocation in capital markets. Securities analysts as important “information traders”, their follow-up behavior and information disclosure of the firms they follow participate in an interaction relationship. This paper sheds light on the three different roles of analysts. Based on the perspective of role of analysts, we reviewed relevant...
This study investigates the moderating effect of analyst coverage on the relationship between internal pay gap and company performance. Based on a sample of 2993 Chinese stated-owned listed enterprises from 2010 to 2014, we find that both executive pay gap and pay gap between executives and employees are positively related to company performance, which support the tournament theory. In addition, our...
A cyber physical system for smart cloud-driven traffic control is proposed. It is an intellectual (smart) road infrastructure for monitoring and control of traffic in real-time through the use of global systems for positioning and navigation, mobile gadgets and the Internet in order to improve the quality and safety of vehicle movement, as well as for minimizing the time and costs when vehicles are...
Continuous Delivery (CD) has emerged as an auspicious software development discipline, with the promise of providing organizations the capability to release valuable software continuously to customers. Our organization has been implementing CD for the last two years. Thus far, we have moved 22 software applications to CD. I observed that CD has created a new context for architecting these applications...
There are several factors to influence effectiveness of manufacturing. People productivity is one of very important factor that helps to construct lean manufacturing that provides profit of company. We separate operators' work hour into effective productivity and non-effective productivity to point out opportunity to improve productivity without heavy invest. Through constructed visible people loading...
A Document Management System (DMS) helps store, search, track, share, and retrieve documents of different types including text files, spreadsheets, presentations, and images. A DMS is a core technology used by several companies for managing their electronic documents and is often the central component of content management systems. A DMS may be used locally, on a network, or in the cloud. A question...
As part of the energy turnaround a number of new challenges for the European energy supply system are emerging. This article is particularly concerned with the introduction of a price-based modular demand side management concept tailored to the requirements of SME. In this solution the grid connector unit, which represents the coupling point between smart grid and individual production companies,...
The objective of this paper is to present a two-step method for automatic generation of operation screens of distribution systems. The first step consists of reduction of the graph representing the network, based on filtering criteria that determine which elements should and which should not be preserved in the diagrams, as well as which parts of the network should be simplified and represented by...
Business collaboration in the form of virtual factory is nowadays considering as one of the critical factor in the manufacturing community, especially within small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). In such an environment, it is very important to deal with accompanying process details within virtual factory environment. This research articulates fundamental concepts of the virtual business network...
The purpose of this research was to come up with an intelligent monitoring tool to reduce the number of breakdowns of a beverage company bottle washer. The Fuzzy Logic system was derived among other artificial intelligent systems to be best appropriate to solve the breakdown challenges of the bottle washer. A gearbox is always jamming and it is not easy to troubleshoot the breakdown cause and fuzzy...
The article deals with an assumption that application of advanced technologies in manufacturing firms brings them higher ability to face up to problems linked with economic crises. It means that manufacturing firms-users of advanced technologies should have the better economic results than manufacturing firms, non-users of advanced technologies. The assumption was tested on the base of results of...
The selection and application of biometrics traits for authentication and identification have recently attracted a significant amount of research interest. In this paper we investigate the use of keystroke data to distinguish between humans using keystroke biometric systems and non-humans for auditing application. Recently, Benford’s Law and Zipf’s Law, which are both discrete Power law probability...
This paper presents the implementation of a Vendor Independent Distribution Management System (VI-DMS) considering EMRA Regulations in Turkey. The local challenges and expectations for a distribution management system were obtained by visiting several distribution companies (DC) in Turkey. Priorities we identified are; enhancing distribution networks to improve monitoring capabilities, identifying...
The authors in this paper argue that for cities to meet their smart city goals much more is needed than just top down solutions, or open city data. The authors suggest that a city aiming for future smartness should engage the citizens, the entrepreneurs and innovators of that city, in the creation of smart solutions via the platform that is, for the sake of argument in this paper, called "The...
For the problem of real-time monitoring and condition decision of high-voltage substation switches, a real-time monitoring algorithm is proposed for the substation folded switch based on geometric analysis of monitoring images. Firstly, capture images containing the folded switch using the properly installed camera, and transfer them to the data processing terminal. Then, search for straight line...
