    Optimizing, developing and improving production process of manufacturing companies needs lot of data about the process to support the decision making. The data can be collected with monitoring systems. This thesis aims to justify the need for a new monitoring system which monitors material and production item flow in the manufacturing process using simple formatted data collected from the detection nodes. To justify the need, market situation is explored, and two possible competitors are presented. Based on evaluation of these, there is room for new simple commissioned monitoring system which can be used side by side with possible control system. Theories ja practices behind key performance indicators and traceability are discussed to get deeper understating of key performance indicator development and flow monitoring. Using the standard for manufacturing key performance indicators, indicators for flow monitoring are presented. The challenge is that the collected data must be kept as simple as possible. Visualization for key performance indicators are discussed and developed. Choosing the visualization platform happens by comparing ready business intelligence tool and own implementation. The data is generated by simulator which implements the designed interfaces. Analyzing the visualization making process, styles of visualization and costs of different solutions, using the own implementation is selected. The traceability data is visualized with directed graphs. The examples of the possible visualizations are provided. The realistic looking data is generated with simulator which is using the designed interface to the data collecting module. Visualization challenges of flow of multiple items is solved by making the edges of directed graphs thicker if there are more transactions between nodes. The decisions are made keeping mind that the flow monitoring system is added to Inspector application of InSolution. The requirements like scalability, commission easiness and clearness and informativeness of visualizations are coming from InSolution. The target is to switch the view point of Inspector monitoring from production devices to production items

    Industry 4.0 for SMEs

    This open access book explores the concept of Industry 4.0, which presents a considerable challenge for the production and service sectors. While digitization initiatives are usually integrated into the central corporate strategy of larger companies, smaller firms often have problems putting Industry 4.0 paradigms into practice. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possess neither the human nor financial resources to systematically investigate the potential and risks of introducing Industry 4.0. Addressing this obstacle, the international team of authors focuses on the development of smart manufacturing concepts, logistics solutions and managerial models specifically for SMEs. Aiming to provide methodological frameworks and pilot solutions for SMEs during their digital transformation, this innovative and timely book will be of great use to scholars researching technology management, digitization and small business, as well as practitioners within manufacturing companies

    A comparison of processing techniques for producing prototype injection moulding inserts.

    This project involves the investigation of processing techniques for producing low-cost moulding inserts used in the particulate injection moulding (PIM) process. Prototype moulds were made from both additive and subtractive processes as well as a combination of the two. The general motivation for this was to reduce the entry cost of users when considering PIM. PIM cavity inserts were first made by conventional machining from a polymer block using the pocket NC desktop mill. PIM cavity inserts were also made by fused filament deposition modelling using the Tiertime UP plus 3D printer. The injection moulding trials manifested in surface finish and part removal defects. The feedstock was a titanium metal blend which is brittle in comparison to commodity polymers. That in combination with the mesoscale features, small cross-sections and complex geometries were considered the main problems. For both processing methods, fixes were identified and made to test the theory. These consisted of a blended approach that saw a combination of both the additive and subtractive processes being used. The parts produced from the three processing methods are investigated and their respective merits and issues are discussed

    Reducing risk in pre-production investigations through undergraduate engineering projects.

    This poster is the culmination of final year Bachelor of Engineering Technology (B.Eng.Tech) student projects in 2017 and 2018. The B.Eng.Tech is a level seven qualification that aligns with the Sydney accord for a three-year engineering degree and hence is internationally benchmarked. The enabling mechanism of these projects is the industry connectivity that creates real-world projects and highlights the benefits of the investigation of process at the technologist level. The methodologies we use are basic and transparent, with enough depth of technical knowledge to ensure the industry partners gain from the collaboration process. The process we use minimizes the disconnect between the student and the industry supervisor while maintaining the academic freedom of the student and the commercial sensitivities of the supervisor. The general motivation for this approach is the reduction of the entry cost of the industry to enable consideration of new technologies and thereby reducing risk to core business and shareholder profits. The poster presents several images and interpretive dialogue to explain the positive and negative aspects of the student process

    Developing Learning System in Pesantren The Role of ICT

    According to Krashen's affective filter hypothesis, students who are highly motivated have a strong sense of self, enter a learning context with a low level of anxiety, and are much more likely to become successful language acquirers than those who do not. Affective factors, such as motivation, attitude, and anxiety, have a direct impact on foreign language acquisition. Horwitz et al. (1986) mentioned that many language learners feel anxious when learning foreign languages. Thus, this study recruits 100 college students to fill out the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) to investigate language learning anxiety. Then, this study designs and develops an affective tutoring system (ATS) to conduct an empirical study. The study aims to improve students’ learning interest by recognizing their emotional states during their learning processes and provide adequate feedback. It is expected to enhance learners' motivation and interest via affective instructional design and then improve their learning performance
