Abstract

The paper presents a robotic structure composed from two units, one for acting and another flexible one consisting in three modules. A parameterized model of the structure has been developed, with the possibility of changing the structure or the materials of the flexible units, depending on the field of use. Modeling with elements in the dynamic regime replaced by the simulation of the flexible unit control has enabled the completion of constructive solution for the experimental model. The robotic system with a complex movement like serpent may have multiple uses in medicine or industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The implementation of the PCPPCS into value adding is a current strategy to align production processes to the forces of market. Globalisation, shallow diversification of manufacturing and cost-effectiveness enforce the harmonisation of sales-order flows with all relevant value- adding processes. This paper focuses on technical and organisational aspects of turbulence-drivers, which disrupt a planned sequence of production orders (po's) and thus, increase production costs. When implementing the PCPPCS into running processes of series and mass production, it is essential to localise and analyse the instabilities of the whole process. Therefore we describe our approach of process- segmentation and FMEA of relevant process-steps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a software development kit that is used to enable software communication. Furthermore, it can be utilised to implement a service-oriented architecture (SOA). With WCF services can be created that encapsulate business functionality, which is then offered to either the company's internal or external consumers. in order to make use of these services they have to be hosted in an appropriate hosting environment. Various methods exist but each is characterised by different attributes. This paper investigates these hosting methods and gives recommendations with regard to the use of distributed industrial applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
