Current literature reports a considerable number for printing, namely, reduction material use, lower operational costs time-saving. authors also mention design freedom, higher efficiency, productivity quality. This presents latest developments in civil engineering, review last pr...

Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) plays a major role in quality and flexibility improvements in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Advanced manufacturing technologies provide a great potential for improving manufacturing performance to compete in the global markets. Proper decision making in pre-implement and implementation of Robot technology as one of the types of AMT plays an importa...

With the emphasis on reducing costs and increasing efficiency, a record number of companies are embarking on different forms of advance manufacturing technologies (AMT). AMT are broadly defined by many authors (small and chen, Sheppard and stock) as “ an automated production system of people, machines and tools for the planning and control of the production process, including the procurement of...

E-intelligence for integrated product design, manufacturing and service is becoming the core of 21st century advanced manufacturing technology. This paper presents the current efforts at the McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI) to implement an Intemet-based Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) facility for the development of new manufacturing processes. The facility, termed The Centre f...

Many industries are now moving several of their processes into the cloud computing sphere. One important process is to collect machine data in an effective way. Moving signal collection processes to the cloud instead of on premise raises many questions about performance, scalability, security and cost. This thesis focuses on some of the market leading and cutting edge protocols appropriate for ...

1 Thin film specifications continue to push the envelope of manufacturing capabilities. Many advanced commercial and military applications require ultra low loss films that are extremely difficult to deposit using conventional Electron beam or Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD) technology. Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG) mirrors for instance require high packing density, minimal defects, and negligible a...

This paper concentrates on the planning requirements for the adoption of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) in order to safeguard their successful implementation. Using the Cypriot manufacturing industry as a case study information is extracted regarding the implementation of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies. The research results are analyzed and are used in the development of a plann...
