Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM), including 3D printing, has the potential to transform construction industry. AM allows industry use complex and innovative geometries build an object, building block, wall, or frame from a computer model. As such, it opportunities for specific applications in deep renovation process. While can provide significant benefits process, is not without its own env...

In today’s business world, competitiveness defines as an industry leader to drive towards maximum efficiency and it is constantly at the forefront of the companies objectives. Managers across the country are striving to adopt lean manufacturing practices to improve their bottom line cellular manufacturing and it helps to build a variety of products with as little scrap as possible. Layout a fac...

Employee participation and establishment-level codetermination via works councils are central elements of the German system of industrial relations. The existence of a works council is widely observed to be positively correlated with productivity. However, much less is known about the transmission channels that works councils use to affect productivity. In this paper two hypotheses have been de...

Welding process is common in manufacturing industry especially for car component assembly. The demand on vehicles in development contry has push the SMIs to contribute the economic forward.The purpose of this study is to monitor the toxic gases level in the welding process in SMIs. The case study was done in two car component manufacturer which is a supply for national car. The data from monito...

The paper describes the detailed techno-commercial analysis done on a 46 m2 solar air heating system developed in a food processing industry. The solar air heating system was connected to an indoor drier through a duct. A detailed performance analysis was undertaken on the system by loading with 75 kg of ripe mango flake. The product loaded was uniform in size having a thickness of 4mm. On a cl...

Context-aware applications adapt their behavior based on changes of the physical world, which is often obtained with a huge amount of sensors. Thus, the development of such applications is cumbersome, in particular the implementation of their often complex control flow. To ease the development of context-aware applications we present the concept of context-aware workflows. Thereafter we present...

Depletion of natural resources has become a major concern in today’s modern industrialized world centering much attention on sustainability of the built environment and sustainable alternatives to current development and construction practices. In the green building community, strong interest lies in natural and renewable building materials that can be used in structural applications. Just such...

Power dissipation is one of the critical design factors in microelectronics industry which opens lot of space for advance development in deep sub micron fabrication techniques for the devices. Low power design reduces cooling cost and increases reliability, especially for high density systems. Moreover, it reduces the weight and size of portable devices. In order to achieve the aim, static and ...
