Abstract. This work is dedicated to analyzing and improving document processing methods in the electronic document management environment, particularly methods of preserving the integrity and authenticity of documents and their automated generation. The focus is on document assembly and reassembly processes. The research is based on extensive experience with electronic document management systems and utilizes publicly available information on the latest methods and practices of processing, protecting, and generating documents for general use. During the literature review, an analysis of modern document management systems was conducted and a consideration of the manual document processing approach. The review part of the work aimed to familiarize with existing implementations of electronic document management systems and to develop their comparative characteristics, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, such electronic document management systems as "DIA", "PandaDoc", and "GoogleDocs" were examined by the author. As a result of analyzing the current state of the issue in the field of automated and manual document processing, a technological chain of a specialized automated document management system was developed. Document assembly and reassembly mechanisms were designed and described, along with other processes accompanying this technological chain. The purpose of the technical part of this work is a detailed examination of the critical mechanisms of a specialized automated document management system and their overall interaction at the client-server level. In conclusion, the scientific novelty lies in improving the technological chain of a specialized automated document management system through software tools for document assembly and reassembly. During the research, an analytical description of software tools for document assembly and reassembly was proposed, considering the possibility of automated document generation.

Full textAbstract:
The complexity of compiling quality control tables for base metal TB1 in order to design nuclear power products arises from the necessity to take into account a plenty of requirements from various sources (which may overlap or complement each other): for example, standards such as industry standards (IS/OST), building codes (BC/SNiP), technical specifications, customer requirements, internal rules for their completion, and other regulatory documents. Incorrectly prepared documents submitted to an authorized quality control organization (an entity authorized to conduct conformity assessment in the form of acceptance testing of products intended for use in components of nuclear energy facilities in the Russian Federation) result in financial and time losses for the developer, as well as difficulties in further product acceptance. This paper discloses the development process of a user application (library) that enables the automatic generation and construction of a quality control table for base metal TB1 on the basis of a drawing document in KOMPAS-3D. The application code (library) for KOMPAS-3D CAD is developed using Delphi, and it implements automated generation of tables TB1 necessary in designing equipment for the nuclear energy sector. One of the key characteristics of a modern engineering simulation system is the ability to integrate automation, for instance, by using subsystems to expand the software package's capabilities, such as user applications (custom programming libraries). This paper formulates the main requirements for the functionality of the user application (library) for KOMPAS-3D. The application code enables reading data from an assembly file opened in KOMPAS-3D, creating a new drawing document, generating a table according to TB1 requirements, and filling it with data from the assembly document.

Taxonomic name validation and elucidation in biodiversity collection datasets (specimens and names) at institutions are well established, as is the enabling of historical scientific literature, thanks to the work at the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), Plazi TreamentBank, and others. However, a significant area yet to be enhanced in this way is in the assembly of environmental impact survey (EIS) assessments across states or countries.In this project, we looked at using new tools such as AWS Textract to extract text from a range of document types, together with the newly-released gnfinder tool to find taxon names in submitted EIS documents, match them in the Global Names Index and other sources, then use this unique names list to interrogate the Atlas of Living Australia to find additional applicable data, such as the taxonomic and conservation status of given names.The result is a consolidated report summarising the validity and status of taxon names in each EIS report, saving many hours of manual lookup across multiple datasets and thereby significantly streamlining the process of evaluating each environmental proposal.

Full textAbstract:
The precast concrete (PC) method involves manufacturing reinforced concrete building components in a factory that are then transported to and assembled on a construction site. Compared to conventional methods, PC is widely employed as an advantageous means of creating a sustainable environment and improving construction quality. However, due to time and cost increase, many modern PC factories inspect only randomly selected component samples, for which they write inspection reports using paper-based forms. The storage and management of these documents associated with inspections within factories are essential because any defects that occur during the manufacturing process adversely affect the subsequent delivery and assembly activities. In this study, a mobile application capable of automated documentation and the storage, and input of systematic data was developed to generate a system for comprehensive quality management and assurance within PC factories. The developed system was tested in a PC factory, achieving a 47% time-saving rate compared to the conventional inspection method. Inspection reports of the developed system contain considerably more information than those of the conventional method and fundamentally prevent the risk of document damage and loss as they are automatically archived on a server in digital format.

AbstractOver the past few years, a group of dedicated people with an affinity for technology and type 1 diabetes has developed systems that enable automated insulin delivery (AID). Patients build these AID systems themselves (do it yourself; DIY). The quality of glucose control achieved with DIY AID systems is impressively good, but the effort for users in everyday life is considerable. So far, no results of clinical studies have been obtained that prove these individual experiences.Main obstacles for the use (also by more patients) are legal questions, because DIY AID systems do not represent approved medical devices. They must be regarded as “experimental” systems. As long as patients build and use these systems for themselves and do not endanger other people, they act at their own risk. Legal questions are more complex and more difficult to answer if, for example, a traffic accident occurs. A legal assessment (in particular of the medical situation) of such systems, initiated by the German Diabetes Society (DDG) (see DDG homepage), comes to the following key statements:– From the patient’s point of view, the assembly of a DIY AID system does not constitute a criminal offence. However, since the intended purpose of the devices is violated, there is no liability on the part of the manufacturers of the medical devices used for this purpose.– Patients who assemble DIY AID systems and “sell” them to other patients are liable to prosecution under the Medical Devices Act (MPG).– Doctors do not have to refer patients with type 1 diabetes to DIY AID systems.If a patient expresses interest in such a system or is already using it, the attending physician must inform the patient about the improper use of the medical devices used and about the associated risks. He should document this information accordingly.This overview presents the current status of this development from various points of view.

This article focuses on the advantages of technology over manual intervention. Products are made to order in a process that spawns a stream of changes to CAD drawings, technical specifications, bills of materials, assembly instructions, and other documents. The secret of Swagelok’s success is workflow software, which helps automate and manage repetitive business processes, such as engineering change orders, document revision, review, and design release. It lets a computer automatically route drawings and documents to every person who needs them. Workflow software creates a single system for gathering all of the necessary history, measurements, and models. Swagelok and Evernham use workflow software to control and track the movement of information. Many larger companies, on the other hand, have used workflow software to move data automatically among applications. Such complex workflows are usually part of a larger product lifecycle management solution.

Full textAbstract:
The deep-sea tube worm Lamellibrachia, belonging to the Phylum Vestimentifera, contains two giant extracellular haemoglobins, a 3000 kDa haemoglobin and a 440 kDa haemoglobin. The former consists of four haem-containing chains (AI-AIV) and two linker chains (AV and AVI) for the assembly of the haem-containing chains [Suzuki, Takagi & Ohta (1988) Biochem. J. 255, 541-545]. The tube-worm haemoglobins are believed to have a function of transporting sulphide (H2S) to internal bacterial symbionts, as well as of facilitating O2 transport [Arp & Childress (1983) Science 219, 295-297]. We have determined the complete amino acid sequence of Lamellibrachia chain AIII by automated or manual Edman sequencing. The chain is composed of 144 amino acid residues, has three cysteine residues at positions 3, 74 and 133, and has a molecular mass of 16,620 Da, including a haem group. The sequence showed significant homology (30-50% identity) with those of haem-containing chains of annelid giant haemoglobins. Two of the three cysteine residues are located at the positions where an intrachain disulphide bridge is formed in all annelid chains, but the remaining one (Cys-74) was located at a unique position, compared with annelid chains. Since the chain AIII was shown to have a reactive thiol group in the intact 3000 kDa molecule by preliminary experiments, the cysteine residue at position 74 appears to be one of the most probable candidates for the sulphide-binding sites. A phylogenetic tree was constructed from nine chains of annelid giant haemoglobins and one chain of vestimentiferan tube-worm haemoglobin now determined. The tree clearly showed that Lamellibrachia chain AIII belongs to the family of strain A of annelid giant haemoglobins, and that the two classes of Annelida, polychaete and oligochaete, and the vestimentiferan tube worm diverged at almost the same time. H.p.l.c. patterns of peptides (Figs. 4-7), amino acid compositions of peptides (Table 2) and amino acid sequences of intact protein and peptides (Table 3) have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50154 (13 pages) at the British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.

As a result an optimal structural variant for automated assembly and algorithm for analytical and experimental determination of the trajectory of an assembly robot has been chosen. The criteria for the choice of an optimal structural variant and an approach for searching assembly variants of mechanical products in CAD medium are developed. Algorithms for the choice of optimal structural variant in resolving optimization problems in conditions of under determination were developed. Based on the proposed algorithms application software was developed and its efficiency and working capacity by solving test-problems was proved. The developed technological schemes, constructional documents and the based optimal variant for automated assembly will be used in training students on “Bases of construction and CAD” in Department “Bases and technical means for construction” and on “Assembly Automation” in Department “Automation of discrete production”. The obtained results can be used also by firms and enterprises in accomplishing constructional, design and consulting activity in the field of assembly automation. It is expected that the results will be efficiently applied also by little and medium size firms.

Full textAbstract:
RECOVER is a site-specific decision support system that automatically brings together in a single analysis environment the information necessary for post-fire rehabilitation decision-making. After a major wildfire, law requires that the federal land management agencies certify a comprehensive plan for public safety, burned area stabilization, resource protection, and site recovery. These burned area emergency response (BAER) plans are a crucial part of our national response to wildfire disasters and depend heavily on data acquired from a variety of sources. Final plans are due within 21 days of control of a major wildfire and become the guiding document for managing the activities and budgets for all subsequent remediation efforts. There are few instances in the federal government where plans of such wide-ranging scope and importance are assembled on such short notice and translated into action more quickly. RECOVER has been designed in close collaboration with our agency partners and directly addresses their high-priority decision-making requirements. In response to a fire detection event, RECOVER uses the rapid resource allocation capabilities of cloud computing to automatically collect Earth observational data, derived decision products, and historic biophysical data so that when the fire is contained, BAER teams will have a complete and ready-to-use RECOVER dataset and GIS analysis environment customized for the target wildfire. Initial studies suggest that RECOVER can transform this information-intensive process by reducing from days to a matter of minutes the time required to assemble and deliver crucial wildfire-related data.

Full textAbstract:
Si le problème d'équilibrage lors de la conception de lignes d'assemblage est largement étudié dans la littérature sous le nom d’ALBP (Assembly Line Balancing Problems), peu de travaux concernent leur rééquilibrage dans un horizon court terme et en-ligne. Les travaux présentés dans ce mémoire portent donc sur le rééquilibrage dynamique des lignes d’assemblage en réaction aux événements court terme perturbants la production. L’objectif étant de changer l’allocation des taches sur les postes de travail afin de lisser la charge induite par la perturbation. Le délai court sans arrêt de production étant plus important que l'optimalité de la solution, le temps de résolution rapide des méthodes de résolution approchées nous a intéressé. Deux approches ont été étudiées pour leur simplicité et leur nouveauté dans le domaine du ALBP : la méthode ILS (Iterated Local Search) et la recherche d’atteignabilité sur un réseau d’automates communicants. Cela nous a montré qu'elles peuvent répondre au besoin de réactivité imposé par notre problème mais qu’elles sont difficilement adaptables lorsque les leviers d’action pour rééquilibrer la ligne sont modifiés. Notre proposition pour répondre à ce besoin d’adaptabilité est une méthodologie de modélisation et de résolution des problèmes de rééquilibrage des lignes d’assemblage s’appuyant sur un réseau d’automates communicants et une recherche d’atteignabilité sur celui-ci. Pour assurer la généricité, la méthodologie est décomposée en deux niveaux d’abstraction : l'étude de la classe du problème ALBP considéré et al résolution du problème spécifique. Les travaux ont été validés sur des exemples industriels issus de la société Trane<br>Assembly lines are flow-oriented production systems. They are still typical in industrial production systems despite the evolution from mass-production to more personalized and fluctuating production. In order to meet customer demand (quantity, time, etc.) and to reduce manufacturing costs, the lines must be well balanced. In other words, the products need to move from one workstation to another with the same pace, usually called takt time. This assembly line design problem is widely studied in the literature under the name of ALBP (Assembly Line Balancing Problems). Nonetheless, few studies concern the on-line reconfiguration and in particular, the dynamic rebalancing. The work presented in this thesis focuses on the dynamic rebalancing of assembly lines in response to short-term events disturbing production. Two approaches have been studied for their simplicity, speed of implementation and innovation in the field of ALBP: the ILS approach (Iterated Local Search) and the reachability analysis approach based on a network of communicating automata. This study showed that both approaches can address the need for a quick resolution required by dynamic rebalancing problem but lacked for adaptation when model constraints or objectives are changed. A methodological approach for assembly line balancing problems modeling and resolution is proposed to bridge the gap of adaptability. To ensure the genericity of obtained models., the methodology is composed of two levels of abstraction: a study of the class of the considered problem and a focus on the specific problem to solve. Studies have been validated on industrial examples from Trane factories

AbstractThe classical approach to the creation of assembly work instructions for high value, complex products is time-consuming and prone to error. It requires a process engineer to write the work instructions step-by-step and manually insert specific technical information, using an encompassing document of manufacturing parameters or life cycle management software. The latter offers synchronisation to design changes through updateable parameters, however major design modifications still require significant manual work to modify the text contents and structure of the work instructions. This leaves the work instruction documentation vulnerable to human error, as well as making the process time-consuming to fully synchronise. A methodology was therefore developed to resolve these issues, utilising JavaScript and VBA for Office to create a simple interface for rapid content generation for work instructions including text, MBD extracted parameters, images and formatting. The overall methodology speeds up the creation of assembly work instructions and reduces errors by implementing automatic insertion of parameters from an MBD model. The implementation and effectiveness of the suggested approach is demonstrated on a case study for the assembly of the joined wing configuration of the RACER helicopter, the latest generation of compound helicopters of Airbus Helicopter.

Assembly process sheets are formal documents used extensively within automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to document and communicate assembly procedure, required tooling, contingency plans, and time study results. These sheets are authored throughout the vehicle life-cycle. Further, various customers use these sheets for training, analyzing the process, and line-balancing. In this research, the primary focus is the time studies analysis that is completed using knowledge contained within the assembly process sheets. In this research, a method and software tool are developed to utilize coupling between part descriptions and process descriptions for assembly time studies. The method is realized through the development of a standardized vocabulary for describing work instructions, a mapping from work instructions to MTM codes, and a tool for extracting relevant part information from CAD models. The approach enables process planners to establish part-process coupling, author work instructions using the controlled vocabulary, to estimate assembly time. A prototype system is developed and tested using examples from an automotive OEM.

Within the next decade, proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology will need to progress from low-volume to high-volume production. The second of two fully-functional fuel cell stack assembly robotic stations is being developed to meet the requirements for this transition; meanwhile, a fuel cell stack is being modified to ease the challenges of automated assembly. This document outlines the most recent iteration of the robotic fuel cell assembly station, challenges encountered, stack design features which impair automation efforts, stack modifications and their impact on assembly success, and a methodology for designing successful stacks in tomorrow’s automated assembly plants. Numerous design aspects of the stack, intended for manual assembly, proved challenging for robotic assembly: in particular, those pertaining to component tolerances, stack compliance, fasteners, environmental requirements, overall stack alignment, MEA handling, and part alignment verification. Each of these challenges was addressed during the refinement of the second robotic station, in many cases via modification of the stack. Nonetheless, each of these factors represents a continuing liability, both in cost and time, to rapid, accurate, reliable stack assembly. Methodology for incorporating these critical design-for-manufacture considerations into future stack designs is therefore addressed as well. As the stack assembly workcell continues to improve, research will focus upon further stack redesign specifically to optimize fuel cell manufacturing throughput.

Polymer-electrode membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology will need to progress from low-volume production to high-volume within the course of the next decade. To successfully achieve this transition, a fully-functional fuel cell automatic stack assembly robotic station is being developed. This document outlines both iterations of the robotic fuel cell assembly stations, other work to date, DFM and DFA lessons learned, and the anticipated future progression of automatic fuel cell stack assembly stations. Two individual robotic fuel cell assembly stations were constructed, including custom-built end effectors and parts feeders. The second station incorporated numerous improvements, including overlapping work envelopes, elimination of a shuttle cart, software synchronization, fewer axes, and a better end effector. Consequentially, the second workcell achieved a four-fold improvement in cycle time over the previous iteration. Future improvements will focus in part upon improving the reliability of the overall system. As the stack assembly workcell continues to improve, research will focus upon the ramifications and interplay of tolerances, stack failure modes, sealing, reliability, and the potential for component redesign specifically to optimize fuel cell manufacturing throughput.

Polymer-electrode membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology, a low-emissions power source receiving much attention for its efficiency, will need to progress from low-volume production to high-volume within the course of the next decade. To successfully achieve this transition, significant research progress has already been made towards developing a fully-functional fuel cell automatic stack assembly robotic station. Lessons can be drawn from this research with regards to design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) considerations of fuel cells; however, more work still remains to be done. This document outlines both iterations of the robotic fuel cell assembly stations, other work to date, DFM and DFA lessons learned, and the anticipated future progression of automatic fuel cell stack assembly stations. A literature search reveals numerous patents pertaining to equipment and processes for fuel cell assembly as well as a great number of patents pertaining to fuel cell stack features to aid in manufacture or assembly. However, most of this is focused upon proper compression of the membrane material, with little thought given to overall assembly and throughput. Journal articles have begun to consider real-world manufacturing considerations pertinent to production scale-up, but much remains to be done. Therefore, there is a need for more contributions to stack manufacture and assembly. Work already completed (by the authors and their lab) towards the manufacturing workcell specifically includes the design and construction of two individual robotic fuel cell assembly stations, including custom-built end effectors and parts feeders. The second station incorporated numerous improvements, including overlapping work envelopes, elimination of a shuttle cart, software synchronization, fewer axes, and a better end effector. Consequentially, the second workcell achieved a four-fold improvement in cycle time over the previous iteration. Future improvements will focus in part upon improving the reliability of the overall system. Close study of the manufacturing workcell indicated that stack component design features are key for production and scale-up of fuel cell stack manufacturing processes. Critical features are discussed in this article, as well as their ramifications for the overall stack design. As the stack assembly workcell continues to improve, research will focus upon the ramifications and interplay of tolerances, stack failure modes, sealing, reliability, and the potential for component redesign specifically to optimize fuel cell manufacturing throughput.

Abstract Industrial automation is a prominent process that has been around for many years and is continuing to evolve. An important aspect of automation is industrial robots. This paper focuses on an automated circuit board assembly process. Components of the assembly are described and identified, as well as a completed assembly is shown with 3D printed components. Important camera setup steps are documented and discussed in addition to the iRVision Geometric Pattern Matching (GPM) tool which is used to teach the camera how to find parts. The process was first developed using ROBOGUIDE simulation software, once validated the program was implemented on a physical FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4s robot. Trial runs were completed with both the physical robot and the ROBOGUIDE simulation, with the data being analyzed to determine the system performance. Comparing the physical robot to the ROBOGUIDE simulation has revealed that the physical robot can perform as well as the simulation in terms of part detection, but suffers when it comes to speed. Simulation in the virtual software is a quick and easy way to visualize and analyze the robotic work cell before investing money into implementing it in the real world.

Product documentation plays an important role in product creation. Many parts of the documentation are used for manufacturing, assembly and quality assurance processes. Until today the leading document for manufacturing processes is the engineering drawing. With more complex product designs the clarity of the drawings decreases. Modern technologies enable the transition to a paperless manufacturing documentation without the need for expensive licenses. 3D-PDF technology offers a way to provide manufacturers with 3D-CAD models containing the appropriate product manufacturing information. In this paper a generative document that provides only the essential information for certain manufacturing steps is presented. 3D-PDF technology is used to present the results to the machinist. The recommended documentation provides two different views: the input and output status of a product at a specific manufacturing station. Those views are created automatically from the ERP database containing manufacturing knowledge of the product. The presented models are supplemented with general information, e.g. material, designer, general tolerances. The limitation on necessary information for only one manufacturing step at a time increases the comprehensibility of the product documentation and thus accelerates the manufacturing process and improves product quality.

Problems arise when manual work is negatively impacted because production traveler sheet are either deficient, incomplete and time consuming. In this paper a production traveler sheet shows how aircraft skin is assembled and traveled. A lean tool, value stream mapping and computerized database management system were used to analyze the production traveler sheet for automatic assembling of aircraft skin. Through the application of lean concept and computer database system, lead time saving and manufacturing efficiency are obtained by reducing or eliminating non-value activities and process time.

Manufacturing companies are increasingly confronted with the challenges of market globalisation, a shortening of product life cycles and a growing diversity of variants. New and flexible approaches to optimizing production processes and their planning ability are therefore needed to secure competitiveness in a sustainable way. Manual assembly in particular is a cost factor in the manufacturing industry and takes up a high proportion of the total production time. In addition to the efficient design of assembly processes, the ergonomic assessment and optimisation of work systems to avoid health hazards is also becoming increasingly important, also in consideration of demographic change. Currently, high personnel costs for the analysis of the workplace as well as special technical requirements for the employees in industrial engineering are identified as problematic. Especially for small and medium-sized companies with limited capacities in planning and existing competence levels of the employees, this aspect represents a hurdle that should not be underestimated. The following paper discusses the hypothesis that a combined approach of machine learning and rule-based knowledge as a hybrid analysis is suitable for transferring motion data captured by motion capturing into rule-conforming analyses in a semi-automated way. For this purpose, the new process building block system MTM-Human Work Design is used, which documents the required influencing factors chronologically and makes them variably evaluable in order to create time measurements and ergonomic execution analyses.
