Bornmann and Leydesdorff (2011) proposed methods based on Web of Science data to identify field-specific excellence in cities where highly cited papers were published more frequently than can be expected. Top performers in output are cities in which authors are located who publish a number of highly cited papers that is statistically significantly higher than can be expected for these cities. U...

Integrating sensors into robot systems is an important step towards increasing the flexibility of robotic manufacturing systems. Current sensor integration is largely task-specific which hinders flexibility. We are developing a sensorimotor command layer that encapsulates useful combinations of sensing and action which can be applied to many tasks within a domain. The sensorimotor commands prov...

Proceed 1089-35 IC diagnosis is the process of finding the defect causing a failure at IC test. But what do you do when you have a bad ASIC that does not fail IC test? When you are a systems manufacturer, this puts the quality of your products in jeopardy. Here is the all too common scenario. A board or system test fails, and an ASIC has been diagnosed as being faulty. It has been sent back to ...

One of the main progress directions of Applied Information Engineering is to develop profession-specific application systems. Integration demand of Production Information Engineering is more than 30 years old. Why need is there for integration? The birth and evolution of CIM-paradigm. Progress of the functional modelling of production enterprises. The CIM-OSA concept. The results of EAI techniq...

An underpinning to the notion of Computer Integrated Enterprises is information integration; that is, the integration of information resources and decision logic across the enterprise so as to achieve fundamental synergies. This concept requires certain basic extensions to two previously separate paradigms: information modeling and metadata management. In particular, both paradigms must conside...

Lean manufacturing has become an important avenue for both academics and practitioners in recent times. Many organizations around the world have attempted to implement it but the lack of a clear understanding of lean performance and its measurement will contribute to the failure of lean practices. There are many papers, articles, and reports that address lean techniques and tools, but few studi...

Most visual quality inspections in discrete manufacturing are composed of length, surface, angle or intensity measurements. Those are implemented as end-user configurable inspection tools that should not require an image processing expert to set up. Currently available software solutions providing such capability use a flowchart based programming environment, but do not fully address an inspect...
