Applied human factors engineering in advanced vehicle design for elder and handicapped people
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Barrier-free facilities are necessary for the sustainable development of the country. This paper studied the needs of the elder and the handicapped people in the barrier-free facilities. It found that the elder and handicapped ...
A modular flexible scalable and reconfigurable system for manufacturing of microsystems based on additive manufacturing and e-printing
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Generative manufacturing technologies are gaining more and more of importance as key enabling technologies in future manufacturing, especially when a flexible scalable manufacturing of small medium series of customized ...
Comparative analysis between small displacement torsor and model of indeterminate applied on generated solution of reconfigurable manufacturing system
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is the recent addition in the field of manufacturing system. Different approaches deal with the generation of design solutions of RMS. Keeping in view quality as a key performance ...
3-D biocompatible microneedle arrays with nanoporous surface
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
During the past few years, developing painless needles or patches to replace traditional hypodermic needles has been investigated. Since micromachining can be used to construct a high density metallic micropillar array, ...
Auto-recovery from machining stoppages based on STEP-NC
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Machining stoppage occurs from time to time due to various reasons. For the current CNC system using G/M code as part program, to recovery from the stoppage, the operator needs to scroll the part program to find the specific ...
Practical Evaluation Workover Framework (PEWF) for evaluation and process improvement of Workover Rigs in the Oilfields
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
In this work Practical Evaluation Workover Framework (PEWF) can be defined as a procedure that provides a practical workover maintenance system for workover and production engineers in the Oilfields. This procedure involves ...
Procurement policy of vulnerable parts with jointly distributed lifespan
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Vulnerable parts exist in most machines or equipment. Failure of those vulnerable parts may result in damage of the machine or the product, and may sometimes cause unnecessary down-time within a production cycle, all of ...
Using GRAIMOD for improving performance of multi-product companies
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
European economies have been deeply affected by different crises. The impact of the economic crisis on enterprises is now recognized by everybody. Enterprises are fighting to pull through the present situation and are ...
Sensitivity analysis of wall coating thickness to paint characteristics in the spray painting process phase 1 : paint characterization
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
This report represents the first stage of producing a new CFD model capable of calculating paint deposition rate in a robot spray gun for a range of input variables. This will be achieved by analysing the sensitivity of ...
Minimization of transportation and installation time for offshore wind turbines
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
The most challenging aspect of introducing an offshore wind energy facility is high cost of capital for transportation and installation of wind turbines. The cost associated with transportation and installation depends on ...
