The centralised control rooms of large industrial plants have separated people from the processes they should control. Perception is restricted mainly to the visual sense. Only telephone or radio links provide narrow-band voice communication with maintenance personnel down in the plant. Multimedia equipment can perceptionally bring back the operator into the plant while bodily keeping him the c...

Introduction The increased use of ac and dc motor drives in industrial plants has elevated the power quality application considerations associated with power distribution systems. These considerations have sparked great controversy about the use of drives in industrial applications and have raised questions about their effects on an electrical system. Valuable guide standards, such as IEEE 519-...

Cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. Among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. Boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. In this paper, the performance of thermal oil bo...

Event-based cameras are not common in industrial applications despite they can add multiple advantages for applications with moving objects. In comparison with frame-based cameras, the amount of generated data is very low while keeping the main information in the scene. For an industrial environment with interconnected systems, data reduction becomes very important to avoid network saturation a...

In the early 1990s, the low-end customer premises equipment (CPE) such as telephone, analog modem were the major products of Taiwan communication industry, and the local small to medium size corporations had limited resources for R&D in comparison with those of foreign advanced manufacturers. As the strength of the communication industry signified the critical index of a country’s competitive e...

Codes for design and constructions of pressure-vessel provide a number of loading conditions that have to be considered. Pressures are primary loadings that are applied either internally or externally over the surface of the vessels; applied forces act either at local points or throughout the mass of the vessel. Among applied loads, inertial forces due to ground motion can be relevant when indu...

with the increasing competition among companies and basic revise is essential staffing as a strategic factor and management needs and stakeholders organization to decision-making accountants noted the importance of measuring human value. the information was expressed as human resource accounting. the main discussion as to whether humans fit the traditional definition of assets, and how to measu...

distribution is one of the most important topics in industrial engineering and logistics and supply chain that all organizations are dealing with it in the upper echelons and are looking for the optimum distribution of resources and equipment among the echelon. generally, it is seen that organizations cannot have a good distribution if there is not a suitable criterion for the distribution of e...

in this investigation, the performance of a tower for absorption of sulphur dioxide gas into calcium carbonate solution has been studied. the trays had no downcomer and the tower itself was a scaled down pilot from industrial equipment. the industrial scale tower was used for clean up of 110000 m3/hr gas using 40 m3/hr alkaline solution. the study was composed of two parts. in the first section...
