Subject of this article is to highlight the importance of normalization and standardization in the clustering process. The values of each character as they are often the results of measurements in different units, and it can cause that some characters seem to be dominating a few other characters influenced the course of cluster analysis.
Article discusses the simulation as an efficient scientific method of problem solving in industrial practice. It creates an overview of the simulation program means used in industrial practice and creates an overview of tools for discrete, continuous, and combined.
This paper deals with the sustainable energy efficient manufacturing with application of advanced industrial techniques and new methodical approach to advance energy efficiency measures. This integration represents a sustainable development so that more effective use of natural and energy resources is achieved, energy costs are reduced and energy efficiency of manufacturing processes are created. The energy efficiency in a manufacturing enterprise is specially determined in the beginning of its life cycle. The new solution in the form of methodology for increasing energy intensity of manufacturing processes is proposed. The verification can be used to realize and illustrate energy efficiency potentials in production and logistics planning.
The article is aimed at verifying the state of a real workplace using virtual reality. In analyzing the readiness of virtual reality applications, augmented reality was selected for the following work. The most significant advantage of augmented reality is the implementation of a virtual model and the ability to deal with the analysis in a real environment, which is particularly beneficial in the case of production plants. In the first phase of the work, an analysis of the current state of the workplace was carried out, where the requirements for the design of the new workplace were specified. This was followed by the phase of design preparation in 3D modeller. At this very stage it appeared to be advantageous to use virtual reality applications; in the design process, regular approval procedures are required as for an expert team (management, design, quality, ...), which puts high qualification requirements on the readiness of this team. In this phase, the 3D design of the new workplace was inserted into the application supported by augmented reality and some options were indicated to deal with the ergonomic and risk analysis. The result of this work is, in particular, an extension of options in designing and analyzing production workplaces and machinery in multidisciplinary teams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
