In the building operation phase, Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) equipment are main contributors to excessive energy consumption unless proper design maintenance is carried out. Moreover, HVAC problems might have an impact on occupants’ discomfort in thermal comfort. Hence, identification of root cause imperative for facility managers plan preventive corrective actions. Howeve...

Nowadays, power plants, generators, substations, and equipment are becoming technologically more sophisticated difficult to control besides that any interruption in supply will cause losses the industry economy. Therefore, importance of maintenance with enhancing availability, performance efficiency, on-time deliveries, safety necessities, overall plant productivity become necessary.
 In t...

According to reporting of international economic institutions there are risks recession worldwide at present. Actually, some challenges for the management process which is a critical in operations cement enterprises frequently. In view demanded advanced methods planning and control industry 4.0. addition this new trends requirements sustainability, environment protection, occupational health sa...

During the last years, the use of Portable Coordinate Measuring Machines (PCMMs) in industry has increased considerably, mostly due to their flexibility for accomplishing in-line measuring tasks as well as their reduced costs and operational advantages as compared to traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). However, their operation has a significant drawback derived from the techniques...

Prediction of physical particular phenomenon is based on partial knowledge of this phenomenon. Theses knowledges help us to conceptualize this phenomenon according to different models. Hidden Markov Models (HMM) can be used for modeling complex processes. We use this kind of models as tool for fault diagnosis systems. Nowadays, industrial robots living in stochastic environment need faults dete...

The aim of this paper is to explain how sticky-knowledge theory (Szulanski, 1996;2003) is applicable to both knowledge transfer as well as innovation diffusion when applied to promoting innovation. Knowledge about how innovation drivers and inhibitors can assist project-based organisations to be more competitive is important in improving processes of applying innovation that can enhance project...

Evolutionary information stored in multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) has been used to identify the interaction interface of protein complexes, by measuring either co-conservation or co-mutation of amino acid residues across the interface. Recently, maximum entropy related correlated mutation measures (CMMs) such as direct information, decoupling direct from indirect interactions, have been de...

a few years after the implementation of computerize maintenance management systems (cmms), showing the analysis results of the collected data in these systems is necessary and important for continuing the usage of these systems. equipment downtime and cost data can identify patterns of equipment faults and equipment costs. it can also show deficiencies in the implementation of maintenance syste...

This paper outlined a feature-based inspection process planning system for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs). The inspection process planning system is designed to produce an inspection process planning directly from CAD model. The prototype inspection process planning system includes ®ve functional modules: the tolerance feature analysis, accessibility analysis, clustering algorithm, path ...
