  2. 1. Representing human-automation challenges

    Author : Jonas Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; human-machine systems; control rooms; cognitive systems engineering; automation;

    Abstract : Automation technology is widely implemented in process control domains due to its benefits of improving efficiency and enhancing control. However, use of automation also introduces an often complex intermediary between the human and the controlled domain, which can obscure from the operator how system functioning is achieved.

  4. 2. Robotic in-line quality inspection system for Zero-Defect Manufacturing : Requirements and Challenges

    Author : Victor Azamfirei; Yvonne Lagrosen; Anna Granlund; Foivos Psarommatis; Rikard Söderberg; Mälardalens universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automation; industrial robot; sensor; in-line quality inspection; Zero-Defect Manufacturing ZDM ; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : The modern manufacturing paradigm is characterised by an increased level of competition, growing demand for customisable or one-of-a-kind products, and stricter sustainability requirements. To maintain their competitiveness, manufacturing companies must adapt their processes frequently and efficiently while providing high-quality products. READ MORE

  5. 3. Semantic Mapping in Warehouses

    Author : Saeed Gholami Shahbandi; Björn Åstrand; Roland Philippsen; Antanas Verikas; Martin Magnusson; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automation; Robotics; Mapping; Semantic Maps; Warehouse Automation;

    Abstract : This thesis and appended papers present the process of tacking the problem of environment modeling for autonomous agent. More specifically, the focus of the work has been semantic mapping of warehouses. A semantic map for such purpose is expected to be layout-like and support semantics of both open spaces and infrastructure of the environment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Facilitating Automation Development in Internal Logistics Systems

    Author : Anna Granlund; Mats Jackson; Marcus Bengtsson; Magnus Wiktorsson; Mats Johansson; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : automation development; internal logistics; automation; systems development; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : The internal logistics system includes all activities connected with managing the flow of materials within the physical limits of a facility. This system is an important part of operations in need of increased focus and continuous improvements. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structures for supporting BIM-based automation in the design process

    Author : Jani Mukkavaara; Thomas Olofsson; Gustav Jansson; Marcus Sandberg; Fredrik Elgh; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; BIM; Automation; Distributed System; Information; Structures; Byggproduktion och teknik; Construction Management and Building Technology;

    Abstract : During recent decades the advent of IT in the construction industry has prompted a gradual shift from manual paper-based processes to computer-aided design and production. In this shift there has been an increasing interest in the application of building information modelling (BIM) for the overall management of information throughout the lifecycle of a building.
