Machinability analysis from energy footprint considerations

Recent global developments have heightneed the need to choose the best sustainable manufacturing methods in order to mitigate the effects of industrial processes on the environment.Energy consumption is seen as one of the key performance indices for assessment of the environmental credentials of an enterprise.It is through energy consumption that the carbon emission penalty (amount of carbon emitted in generating the energy) can be estimated Machining remains one of the key discrete-parts menufacturing processes and its mechanics has received considerable attention in research and development.However, energy analysis for machining processes is a relatively new area.In this paper the environmental impacts of machine utilisation are assessed through energy consumption.The paper considers the energy requirements in machining of a number of alloys according to recommended cutting conditions.The energy is accessed through electrical power requirements of the machining process.The results illustrate the impact that high speed machining could have on energy consumption and hence a more sustainable machining industry

A study on the level of safety awareness amongst JPP construction team in construction projects on the university campus

Safety awareness is seeing and understanding what is currently happening around you, while also thinking ahead to anticipate and prevent problems. Safety awareness includes not only a recognition of potential hazards, but also an awareness of what is happening in your immediate work area and an understanding of how your actions and the actions of those around you may impact your safety, both now and in the near future. This paper aims to investigate the level of safety awareness amongst JPP construction team in construction project on the university campus. By using a quantitative research method with the 6-Likert scale from various disciplines and the data is collected through questionnaire. The total number of participants of this research will be involving 44 staffs from Development and Maintenance Department in Universiti Utara Malaysia (JPPUUM) and data is analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. All variables have been accepted according to the Pearson Correlation Analysis at 95% significant level that have done. It is to get more accurate the level of awareness amongst JPP construction team in construction projects on the university campus

Automated guided vehicles (AGVS)

This study is about material handling system, AGV robot. AGVs are material handling system that used automated vehicles which are programmed to move materials or goods.This study focus on; concept and operation of AGV; AGVs contribution in productivity and flexibility of the operations; importance of AGVs in the industry; disadvantages and advantages of AGVs. Concepts that are applied in AGVs operation are Just in Time (JIT) and Kaizen.AGVs operations involved are sensing system; magnet tape and AGV routing. AGV is a machine that really helps not only in manufacturing industry, but also in services industry.They can improve the production line, reduce overall cost of production, increase employee satisfaction, and maintain employee motivation all at the same time. AGVs also can maintain quality and reduce labor cost

ARC welding-robotic

Assembly lines are flow-line production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity standardized commodities.This system even gained importance in low volume production of customized products.Due to high capital requirements when installing or redesigning a line, configuration planning is of great relevance for practitioners.Using arc welding process for the assembly line of a car production is a main part of assembly line process.Hence in this project, we are configuring and focusing an arc welding processing using KUKA Robotic for production of cars

Analysis of the impact of nuclear power plant on Malaysia's power systems: Costs, CO2 emission and system reliability

Although Malaysia is blessed with plenty of fossil fuel and natural resources, but the amount of fossil fuels is now depleting.This has led Malaysia to find other alternative resources to generate electricity to meet the demand. Some possible options are: 1) Coal, however this leads to the dependency on imported coal and increases gas carbon emission, 2) Renewable energy (RE), however, the resources are interruptible and expensive, 3) Nuclear power plant, however the recent Fukushima incident and the public acceptance are the major consideration. Despite the nuclear safety that should not be compromised, nuclear power plant has many advantages over fossil fuel power plants.Nuclear power plant produces less CO2 emission, cheaper levelized cost than coal and gas power plants and can operate continuously for long hours. Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water Malaysia (KETTHA) targets the energy from nuclear in Malaysia will be 17.8% of total generation mix in 2030. This paper studies the impact of nuclear power plant on Malaysia's power system in 2030, in term of cost, CO2 emission and power system reliability. Two scenarios have been considered and compared; 1) Existing generation mix as in 2013, 2) Generation mix with nuclear as targeted by KETTHA in 2030. Results show that the generation mix with nuclear power plants has lower operation and investment cost, lower CO2 emission and higher system reliability

Cruise control in automobile/car

Cruise control is also known as speed control and auto cruise that is mainly used in automobiles.The increasing use of in the modern cars triggers an interesting study on the effect of cruise control in automotive industry.In this research the basic concept of cruise control is being discussed in detail.The research showed the advantages and disadvantages of cruise control in to the users and automotive industry as whole.Additionally, this research also discussed the installation of cruise control in the car.This in turn helps the readers to understand and appreciate the use of car cruise control

Car navigation system (mapping system)

The car navigation system naturally links with the Global Positioning System (GPS).It is increasingly being used by the road traffic users to help them in navigating to their destination.In this research, the basic operations of car navigation are being discussed in detail.Besides that, this research also discussed the fabrication of car navigation system by having to take the Garmin Car Navigation product as the basic sample.By referring to the academic literature and the internet resources, this research reveals the expected fabrication process of a car navigation product.This knowledge is a small step in understanding the basic operation concepts and assembly of a car navigation system

MSE12: The loading and uploading robots in car wheel industry

Robots are increasingly used by the industries especially, in the loading and unloading operations.This research concentrates on the loading and unloading operations of car wheels using an industrial robot arm.The concept operation of the industrial robot arm is discussed thoroughly.This research showed the advantages and disadvantages of using robot arm to handle loading and unloading operation for car wheels.In manufacturing operations, the geometry and the weight of a car wheels makes it difficult to be handle using manual labor.This research uplifts the potential advantages of using robot arm in dealing with these problems.This in-turn can increase the productivity of the car wheels manufacturing industries
