The importance of universities in national, regional and local systems is obvious and the universities are aware of this impact. The environment or local society in which they operate requires quantification of impacts and so this problem increases attention of all stakeholders. The paper deals with the fields of action of universities in regional and local context. It also includes comparison of...
From history to the present day, especially in the field of technology is provided a wide range of developments. The most important of these developments has achieved the realization of the industrial revolution, has led to play a leading role in the production is done by human beings. The effects on production of industry 4.0 emerging with this mind is very important. The qualified employees should...
Educational videogames are a very effective tool in the learning process, especially for the current generation, known as the digital natives generation. Many studies have shown their benefits in different fields, using computers and mobile devices, among others. Nevertheless, we have not found in the literature any comparative research between these two platforms. Is one of the platforms more effective...
The digitalization and its corresponding technologies have a fundamental impact on value creation strategies and business models of companies across different industries, including the manufacturing and automation industry. The emergence of complex and dynamic ecosystems is one of the expected impacts. The present research project will analyze the business models of ecosystems in the manufacturing...
Todays production processes are becoming more and more flexible. Customers frequently demand specific production steps that fit to their processes. This leads to a needed flexibility for systems that are used to support decision making processes and the production itself. In this paper an approach is presented that uses process definition coming from an integrated enterprise modelling for connecting...
A key challenge in nowadays machinery applications is to guaranty availability and to increase productivity while reducing production costs. Companies, which are able to use their produced data (e.g., process values) to overcome this challenge, will have a significant competitive advantage. This paper shows how data-analytics approaches can be used to realize predictive maintenance solutions, taking...
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...
The article considers the features of the modernized technological process of production of the new BiJFETs radiation-hardened microcircuits of the analog master slice array (AGAMC-2.1) and configurable structured array crystals (CSA) on n-p-n-transistors with the cut-off frequency more than 2,2 GHz, on p-n-p transistors with the cut-off frequency more than 1,5 GHz and on resistors, produced on the...
In the article we consider the implementation of the matrix information management project technology in the form of PRP-system, which is an example of a new class of Project Management systems. The functions, structure and components are described. Also we represented its unique advantages over existing traditional Project Management information systems, e.g. simulation modeling and product planning.
This paper presents MONO, a tool to support interdisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams. MONO supports the definition, execution, and monitoring of collaborative processes to allow development engineers to interact with musicians, designers, and producers, to create digital contents such as video games or animated short films. MONO supports geographically distributed teams, involved in digital...
Even though agile actively seeks collaboration from all its stakeholders, most agile projects do not extend themselves toward the operations people. To solve this problem, DevOps is introduced. DevOps is a conceptual framework for reintegrating development and operations of Information Systems, which is able to break the wall between developers and operations professionals. DevOps improves the work...
In order to considering the continuous improvement of the degree of economic globalization and the further opening of China's accession to the WTO, construction market production environment will be more complicated. This management of construction enterprises with high demands put forward. We must deeply think and analyze of the current situation of Chinese construction ERP implementation. Learn...
To avoid that defective units reach downstream production stages and cause a considerable amount of costs, quality control steps must be implemented. However, quality control steps cause further costs. Implemented sampling inspections are an opportunity to check the quality of lots within the production. In order to keep the costs to a minimum, the production planning must determine sample plans which...
Creating opportunities for comprehensive workplace learning requires that work systems and their environments are designed in a learning-enhancing way. This is regarded as a prerequisite for the creation of innovations and the strengthening of a company's flexibility in the fast changing industrial environment of digitization. However, learning-enhancing work design can so far only be measured retrospectively...
Nowadays, safety in production has become the focus of people's attention in the enterprise, because it involves not only the problem of economic benefits, but also the personal security problems. A large number of data shows that half of most accidents are due to human errors. The failure of people caused by fatigue as an important part of human errors has become an important reason of accident....
Defining the prospective operational regimes of power plant is one of the most important tasks that arise when developing energy system projects. For determining the project tasks of energy systems important are such characteristics of power plants operational regime as the capacity of being participated in certain regimes, annual production of electrical energy, number of hours for the capacity to...
Promote the merger and reorganization of coal enterprises and improving coal industry concentration is currently the main development trend of coal enterprises in China. However, with the control problems are increasing. At present, the scholars often research and exploration of coal enterprise management-control model in subsidiary view. This article combines with CCNH case to analyze main problems...
The overall objective of this study is to create a benchmark model for setting district heating (DH) tariffs. The analysis covered the group of 12 largest DH companies in Latvia, and correlation analysis included the parameters characterizing the DH systems such as influence of cogeneration (CHP), fuel mix, utilisation of installed generation capacity, network heat load density, components of tariffs...
This work investigates the cost of delivering different types of balancing reserves from a simple hydropower reservoir system. In addition to delivering energy, the fast ramping characteristics of hydropower units makes them suitable for delivery of various balancing products that are needed in order to maintain system security. The price at which these products are offered is determined by the opportunity...
The processes of lean energy (i.e. tools for continuous improvement) expand the boundaries of energy efficiency. Inspired by the “Toyota method”, this proven approach allows companies to optimize systems already installed, before considering new investments. Systems already installed in cement plants that can lend themselves to energy optimization include crushing, milling, pyroprocessing and pneumatic...
