Industry 4.0 is a promising solution for the management of manufacturing processes, due to its potential to increase both energy saving and optimized production. Within this context, in this paper we propose the use of automated connected vehicles fleets for the autonomous handling of products among workstations in manufacturing processes. Numerical results confirm its effectiveness w.r.t a typ...

The research aims at developing electrical interconnection technologies for the microelectronics industry. On the one hand, a substrate is needed with a conductive pattern. Currently, this is mostly done by an etching technology, which means a lot of expensive metal is wasted. In this sense an additive alternative would be attractive, which is why I’m looking into the possibilities of printing ...

The model was tested through interviews with 22 printing industry CEOs and responses from 133 founders of early stage high potential printing businesses. Higher levels of practical intelligence predicted higher venture growth across ...

Digital printing is being used more and more. Several of these prints end up in the recovered paper collection from households, offices and industry, becoming part of the raw material to be recycled by papermakers.
