This paper describes the equipment assignment in a control recipe design. To produce a batch in a batch plant, equipment assignments to each task of a batch are carried out on the basis of the equipment requirement information of the master recipe. However, the equipment units satisfying the equipment requirement are not necessarily connected topologically with each other, especially in the mul...

Effective movement of materials plays an important role in successful operation of any organization. Proper methods adopted for material movement are also crucial for the overall safety of the personnel involved in the manufacturing processes. Selection of the appropriate material handling equipment (MHE) is a vital task for improving productivity of an organization. In today’s technological er...

This work designs a novel hydraulic-walking incremental launching equipment. The working principle of the equipment is proposed. Considering that the contact in incremental launching construction is a typical elastic contact problem, and changes in contact state will directly affect the stability of the incremental launching, this work proposes the equilibrium equations of computational contact...

Representations of archetypal users (personas) have been advocated as a way to avoid designing in isolation. They allow communication of user needs and orient teams towards user experience. One of the challenges for developers of interactive medical devices is that most devices are used by a wide variety of people, and that developers have limited access to those people; personas have the poten...
