Finishing operations in shoe manufacturing process comprises operations such as application of polishing wax, polishing cream and spray solvents, and brushing in order to achieve high gloss. These operations require skilled worker and are generally difficult to automate due to the complex motion trajectories. The paper describes a robotic cell for finishing operations in a custom shoe productio...

Since the opening of Chinese economic, a great amount of Taiwanese merchants enter Mainland China for investment. The annual production of bamboo flutes in China is over 4 millions to provide domestic and international consumers. Owing to the great amount of demand, folk instrument industry is one of the attractive investment items. In order to increase the product manufacturing process and pro...

background regarding the increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, efficient factors such as happiness seems vital in reducing hospitalization of cardiovascular patients. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress coping styles, negative automatic thoughts, life quality and happiness in hospitalized cardiovascular patients in ahvaz, iran. material and m...

In the forest products manufacturing industry, recent price increases in the cost of high-quality lumber together with the reduced availability of this resource have forced manufacturers to utilize lower grade hardwood lumber in their manufacturing operations. This use of low quality lumber means that the labor involved in converting this lumber to usable parts is also increased because it take...

Semiconductor manufacturing spans across many manufacturing areas, including wafer manufacturing where electronic circuitry is built layered on a wafer, chip manufacturing that involves circuit probing and testing, and product manufacturing from which the final IC (integrated circuits) products are assembled, and finally tested. Semiconductor manufacturing is well known as the most challenging ...

Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is the one, which can be changed or adapted quickly to manufacture different components or products at different volumes of product. Flexible manufacturing system includes – a set of flexible machines, an automatic transport system and a sophisticated database with decision support system, to decide at each instant what is to be done on which machine. The obj...

This paper details the automatic recognition of diseases & diseased component found in plants leaf picture & also in farming Crop creation. It is completed with development of technology which assists in farming to boom manufacturing. Primarily there's accuracy detection issue in current NN technique. In this research proposal, we have discussed the various advantages and disadvantage of the pl...

The paper deals with an online safety mechanism to define interactions between a diagnoser and a control filter for fault tolerant control of manufacturing discrete systems. The diagnoser observes the plant behavior whereas the control filter ensures the safety from the controller. This online interaction is based by events communication where the control law is never reconfigured. The proposed...

Existing approaches for modular manufacturing testing of core-based systems-on-a-chip (SOCs) do not provide any explicit mechanism for high quality two-pattern tests required for performance validation through delay fault testing. This paper proposes a new approach for broadside delay fault testing of core-based SOCs, by adapting the existing solutions for automatic test pattern generation and ...
