Abstract:
This work covers a reassessment of the 'Hot Break' separation problem by a mechanical engineer from outside the brewing industry. The solid-liquid separation problem was therefore investigated without prior knowledge of constraints or current practices. During the brewing of beer an unwanted, insoluble precipitate, 'trub' is formed, reported to have undesirable effects on the finished beer quality. The existing equipment, 'whirlpool' separators, designed to eliminate this 'trub' performed poorly, allowing much of the precipitate to be carried over to subsequent processes. To remedy the problem, a program to either: 1. design suitable replacement separators or; 2 • modify existing separators to enhance their performance, was pursued. To evaluate possible alternative separators determination of the relevant physical (solid, liquid) properties, measurement of the process parameters at peak production, and review of the chemical constraints was necessary. Performance of the current whirlpool separators was ascertained to establish the extent of the ~xisting problem. Existing efficiencies set a benchmark for comparison against proposed alternatives. Through exhaustiv~ literature review, consultive advice, a series of experiments and rig testing, an extensive range of separation techniques was evaluated, A review of over forty-five reports on whirlpool performance and design practices, the majority of which being the basis of doctoral dissertations, combined with the evaluation of a third whirlpool at Milton Brewery revealed whirlpools to be the most suitable and logical choice. It seemed that the inherent problems in whirlpool design stem from the haphazard approach adopted by the brewing industry. To redress this problem an exp~rimental program to optimize whirlpool tank geometry and operation was initiated. Both experimental and hardware design were fundamentally different to all previous endeavors to establish whirlpool design guidelines. A pilot plant was designed and commissioned such that direct measurement of the 'whirlpool' response independent of other secondary effects was possible. The experimental program produced · over two hundred comparative whirlpool indices over a range of geometric and operational configurations. These suggested that whirlpool performance could be optimised in shallow vessels using low inlet velocities. Finally, the need for secondary separators to be used in conjunction with whirlpool tanks would diminish with improved primary separation.

Product development cycles have consistently become shorter, but the timeline for designing and developing manufacturing equipment has changed little. In some cases the time do design manufacturing equipment can be several times longer than the development cycle for the product it will produce. Consequently, manufacturing equipment development is under growing pressure to efficiently produce equipment solutions in reduced time. Building upon lessons from microelectronics design tools and trends in specialized digital design tools, this thesis examines the potential for a platform of modular design tools targeted at the design, analysis, and fabrication of process and manufacturing equipment through the development of the platform's first design tool: a web-based tool for the design and analysis of Cartesian positioning systems. This thesis documents the codification of positioning system design into physical and functional representative models that enable a systematic, yet flexible workflow focused on decreasing development cycle time, reducing error and oversight, and diminishing barriers in the product selection process. In the positioning system design tool, the user first configures a system architecture using rules based on common architectures and defines inputs for work envelope and payloads. The user is then able to search for, compare, and select products from a vendor-submitted part library based upon performance measures and target specifications. The product selections and resulting design are then validated using force and moment analysis, motion path time analysis, and precision analysis. The development effort associated with the tool emphasized the importance of appropriate levels of representation for different tool functions and resulted in a guiding methodology for the development of future design tool modules.

Abstract:

Thesis completed by Johan Arvidsson, Alex Rasooli and Pontus Winroth, students at master program Product development and Design at the School of Engineering in Jönköping Sweden. The project comprises 30 ECTS credits and was carried out during the semester in the autumn of 2007.It was carried out in cooperation with Eksjöverken AB, subcontractor within the truck industry with special knowledge within the area of complicated machinery construction work. Job initiators at Eksjöverken were Mats Svanberg and Kjell Nygard. Dag Holmgren was acting as a tutor from the university. The task was to develop tools for trucks, primary toolboxes but in case of time also under run protection. This was eventually supposed to generate greater market shares, which would result in an increased manufacturing volume. The goal was to be able to present a complete functional prototype at the end of January 2008, with a foundation for an eventual production.To be able to carry out the assignment with a structural approach and to make sure that once complied with the time plan the project was divided into three phases: the Idea-, Feasibility- and Implementation phase. Between every phase there was a milestone set up, also called gate, where important decisions were taken in cooperation with the company. The purpose of the gates was that decisions regarding direction had to be taken and also to secure advancement in the project. The daily work was carried out at the university with continuous visits at the company in Eksjö.The project resulted in a storage box called TED, Trailer Equipment Design, that is a new type of toolbox with purpose to ease for the driver in his/hers daily work. The new box is adjusted to the driver’s demands and needs and designed with a functional as well as aesthetic alignment. The interior offers a structured storage for the most frequently used tools and doesn’t allow any disorder. The exterior has been designed with shapes that give rise to a uniform expression together with the under run protection and the rest of the truck.As the project has been completed with an active cooperation between the project group and the employer throughout the whole process, both parts have had the chance to generate and evaluate ideas and thoughts. Eksjöverken have been able to follow the process from scratch until the very end, and they are aware of which direction the project has taken as well as which alternatives that has been available. In other terms the generated concept follows a line of argument where new ways of thinking combined with experience has been implemented to reach an optimal solution. The next steps in the development process will be to design the attachment between the storage box and the actual truck, and also to develop the needed tools for manufacturing. When these conditions have been fulfilled Eksjöverken will have a competitive product ready to meet the market.


Ett examensarbete utfört av Johan Arvidsson, Alex Rasooli och Pontus Winroth, studenter vid magisterprogrammet Produktutveckling och Design vid Tekniska Högskolan i Jönköping. Arbetet omfattar 30 högskolepoäng och genomfördes under höstterminen 2007.Arbetet har genomförts i samarbete med Eksjöverken AB, legotillverkare inom lastbilsindustrin med styrka inom området för komplicerade maskinbyggnationer. Uppdragsgivare från Eksjöverken var Mats Svanberg och Kjell Nygard. Handledare från högskolan var Dag Holmgren. Uppdraget bestod i att utveckla tillbehör för lastbilssläp, i första hand verktygslådor men i mån av tid även sidoskydd. Detta skulle resultera i vunna marknadsandelar vilket även skulle bidra till en ökad produktion.Målet var att under januari 2008 kunna presentera en fullt fungerande prototyp med tillhörande underlag för en eventuell produktionsstart.För att kunna utföra arbetet på ett strukturerat sätt och säkerställa att tidsplanen följdes valde man att dela in projektet i tre olika faser: Idéfas, Förstudiefas samt Genomförandefas. Mellan varje fas sattes en milstolpe upp kallad grind, där viktiga beslut fattades i samråd med företaget. Syftet med grindarna var att beslut gällande riktning av projektet skulle tas samt säkerställa fortskridning av projektet. Arbetet utfördes i skolans lokaler med kontinuerliga besök hos uppdragsgivaren i Eksjö.Projektet resulterade i förvaringslådan TED, Trailer Equipment Design. En ny typ av verktygslåda med syfte att underlätta för chauffören i hans/hennes dagliga arbete. Den nya lådan är anpassad efter förarens krav och önskemål och utformad för funktionalitet så väl som estetik. Interiören erbjuder en strukturerad förvaring för de mest frekvent använda redskapen och tillåter ingen oordning. Exteriören har utformats med former som skapar ett enhetligt uttryck med sidoskyddet samt resten av lastbilen.Då man genom hela projektet arbetat sig fram i ett ständigt samråd med uppdragsgivaren, har båda parter kunnat generera samt utvärdera idéer och tankar. Uppdragsgivaren har kunnat följa processen från start till mål och är medvetna om vilken riktning projektet tagit och vilka alternativ man haft att tillgå. Konceptet som tagits fram följer med andra ord en röd tråd, där nytänkande så väl som erfarenhet implementerats för en optimal slutprodukt. Eksjöverkens nästa steg i utvecklingen av förvaringslådan blir att konstruera dess fästelement gentemot lastbilen samt att ta fram verktyg för produktion. Med dessa förutsättningar har man därefter en konkurrenskraftig produkt redo att möta marknaden.

Abstract:
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe the underlying design information and success factors for production equipment acquisition, in order to support the design of high-performance production systems. Design/methodology/approach - The research strategy employed was an in-depth case study of an industrialization project, together with a questionnaire of 25 equipment suppliers. Findings - The study provides the reader with an insight into the role of design information when acquiring production equipment by addressing questions such as: What type of information is used? How do equipment suppliers obtain information? What factors facilitate a smooth production system acquisition? Research limitations/implications - Limitations are primarily associated with the chosen research methodology, which requires further empirical studies to establish a generic value. Practical implications - The implications are that manufacturing companies have to transfer various types of design information with respect to the content and kind of information. More attention has to be placed on what information is transferred to ensure that equipment suppliers receive all the information needed to design and subsequently build the production equipment. To facilitate integration of equipment suppliers, manufacturing companies should appoint a contact person who can gather, understand and transform relevant design information. Originality/value - External integration of equipment suppliers in production system design by means of design information is an area that has been rarely addressed in academia and industry

Alexander, K. L. "Design for validation of medical devices and equipment." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 1998. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.595422.

Full text
Abstract:
Design for validation is aimed at designing medical devices to make them easier and more economic to validate. Changes to the medical device regulations within the past few years have forced the industry to focus attention on design and validation in order to ensure that a device and its associated manufacturing and test equipment are reliable and fit for purpose. In order for this to happen, design must affect validation and validation must affect design. However, current guidance on validation as it applies to design is inadequate and, as a result, validation is generally not well understood amongst medical device designers. The goal of design for validation is to provide guidance in order to help designers achieve integrated design, development and validation. It forms part of a wider definition of Good Design Practice which aims to encourage fitness for purpose within commercial reality. Exploratory research was carried out in the form of studying ideal practice and current practice in order to identify the factors which contribute to integrated design, development and validation. Case studies were analysed, a model of ideal practice was developed and interviews were carried out with various medical device designers and project managers. From the information gathered, two basic designer needs were identified which had to be fulfilled in order for designers to integrate design, development and validation. A practical approach to design for validation was formulated in order to address the two designer needs through the use of a model of design for validation and a series of six design tactics. The approach was evaluated by sending questionnaires to industry. The feedback was very positive and, based on the evaluation, revisions were made to the design for validation model and design tactics. The revisions will be carried forward to the next phase of the research which is the development of a Design for Validation Workbook.

Abstract:
This thesis is done by two students from Blekinge Institute of Technology as an end of the master of engineering program with emphasis on applied mechanics. The thesis is done in cooperation with Axis Communications AB in Lund which develop surveillance cameras. The task was to design and implement an Angular Vibration Testing Equipment. Axis needs this to test their surveillance cameras for angular vibrations. These vibrations occur usually on cameras located on poles placed at roads and at train stations. The thesis has been carried out in three different phases where the first phase handled a deeper understanding of the problem, planning and investigating of related works. Axis has a solution for smaller cameras called Shakespeare MK I and this was used as an inspiration for us. The second phase included concept generation and concept evaluation. This has been done with brainstorming, workshop and concept scoring. At the last phase a prototype was built and tested and a detailed design was made. Two versions of the prototype were made and they showed that the concept works well. The project resulted in a working prototype that can transform linear motion to rotation around two axes. A drawing and a cost calculation were made for the final concept. The final construction is still not completely optimized and has improvement and adjustment possibilities that might be needed.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
General purpose pressure vessels for digestion in microwave ovens have been developed and their applications investigated. The vessels were manufactured from PTFE and polypropylene and included a safety valve. The easily manufactured vessels were found to be reliable for a wide range of samples. A small vessel of 10 ml capacity, also constructed from PTFE and polypropylene, was developed for very small samples. These were used for the digestion of blood. A design for a simple modification of microwave ovens for use in the laboratory has been investigated. A Sharp microwave oven was lined with polypropylene and an extraction system that worked by the Venturi effect was used to remove the fumes from the cavity of the oven. This modification was found to be adequate to prevent corrosion of the oven and to provide the necessary safety features required for a laboratory system. In another modification, a thermocouple and a controller were used for maintaining the temperatures of the samples. Ports were available at the top of the cavity for insertion of suitable vessels for a variety of investigations. A computer-controlled waveguide has been designed for general laboratory applications. The temperature of the samples could be monitored and controlled. The waveguide was used for investigating sample digestions and the heating characteristics of a wide range of materials. A cylindrical applicator has been developed for the microwave heating of large (ca. 300- 600 ml) samples. Temperature monitoring and control was achieved through the use of a thermocouple and a computer. The instrument was found useful for many laboratory investigations involving relatively large samples. A new applicator has been developed for the even heating of multiple laboratory samples. The vessels (tubes) were introduced into the multimode cavity through ports. A choke was developed to allow rotation of the ports and the samples inside the cavity. Vapours could be extracted from the vessels outside the cavity using a fume extraction system. This system was found to be safe in terms of microwave leakages and yielded very good evenness of heating.

Full text
Abstract:
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) can flow into place and compact under its own weight into a uniform void free mass even in areas of congested reinforcement. The research reported in this thesis examined the production of SCC with readily available UK materials, with the overall aims of evaluating test methods and establishing a suitable mix design procedure. There have been significant recent developments and applications of SCC in several countries, notably Japan. A literature survey gave an understanding of the advantages and properties of SCC, test methods and the range of constituent materials and their relative proportions for its successful production. A range of SCC mixes can be produced with the common features of a lower aggregate content than conventional concrete and the use of superplasticizers. Most mixes also contained one or more of pulverized fuel ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag and an inert powder filler. A four stage experimental programme was carried out: *tests on pastes to assess the effect of the types and proportions of the powders and superplasticizers on the rheology. *tests on mortars to determine suitable dosage of superplasticizers for high fluidity, low segregation and low loss of workability with time after mixing. Flow spread and funnel tests were used. *tests on fresh concrete to enable suitable types and quantities of coarse aggregate to be combined with these mortars to produce SCC. Fluidity and viscosity were measured using slump flow and V-funnel tests, and passing ability using L- and U-type tests. Two-point workability tests were also carried out, and a novel way of assessing segregation resistance was developed. *tests on hardened concrete to determine compressive strength, bond to reinforcement and drying shrinkage. A mix design procedure, based on a method suggested by Japanese workers, has been developed. This includes optimisation of the mix with a linear optimisation tool from a commercial spreadsheet package.

Full text
Abstract:
In this study, new methods and processing equipments for sesame dehulling were investigated. First, water absorption of sesame seed was studied at 20, 30, and 40°
C. The data could be modeled using Peleg equation where it was found that the constant k1 was inversely related to temperature but the effect of temperature on k2 was negligible. In the second phase of the work a lab scale continuous screw conveyor as dehuller and two equipments, (1) fluidized bed dryer and (2) hull separator to function as agitator, dryer and separator, for hull separation were designed. Fluidized bed unit was unsuccessful as it caused rapid drying of seeds before hulls can be removed. Using designed dehuller and hull separator, seeds at 30.5, 50.4 and 70.7 % db moisture contents were processed at dehuller speeds of 420, 840, and 1150 rpm. It was found that the percentage of dehulled seeds was linearly dependent on moisture content, optimal speed of designed dehuller was 840 rpm, and results for the efficiency of dehulling the seeds were significantly the same at 420 and 1150 rpm. Repeated passes of seeds through dehuller not only increased the efficiency of dehulling but also the percentage of damaged seeds. A dehulling efficiency of about 92.5 % was attained after four passes. The possibility of soaking seeds in an enzyme solution before dehulling was also investigated. By this means, after soaking in 0.2 % (v/v) Peelzyme-I solution for 15 min, a dehulling efficiency of 95 % was achieved.

Stanbridge, Katharine. "The design and development of sports equipment for children." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2003. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/12829.

Full text
Abstract:
Children's access to many sports is restricted because of social and equipment costs, in addition the equipment is not frequently designed to suit a child's physique and capabilities. Generally the design of sports equipment for children proceeds by taking adult equipment and scaling it down. Unfortunately this often means that the range of equipment is limited for a population whose dimensions are constantly changing and whose strength to size ratio does not vary linearly (Beak et al. 2000). The use of inappropriate equipment can significantly affect learning skills and cause the development of bad habits which may take years to correct and can be a major detractor to further participation (Sleap 1981 ). It is apparent that little science has been applied to equipment design for children and if wider participation is to be encouraged then well-designed and manufactured equipment that matches child development and growth rates needs to be produced. The intentions of this study were: • To determine the effect of equipment properties on children's, aged between 7 and I 0 years old, ability to generate effective strokes in two example sports: golf and tennis. • To determine whether any relationships existed between children's physical characteristics (e.g. height, strength etc ), equipment properties and performance. • To apply any fitting guidelines established to a group of subject to test their validity. In each sport 3 major equipment properties were examined and a sample of30 children, aged between 7 and I 0 years old of varying ability, were tested in each of the studies. Sixteen anthropometric measures, age, experience and grip strength were taken from each child. This information was examined with the performance data using multiple regression methods to determine whether any fitting relationships existed between child characteristics, performance and club or racket properties. In golf it was found that the club head mass, shaft flexibility and shaft length all significantly affected the distance achieved with 7 -iron clubs, whilst in tennis the racket length, mass and balance all had a significant effect on the power and placement of forehand tennis strokes. Nomograms were constructed for the tennis and golf fitting equations to provide a graphical representation of the fitting so that manufacturers, tennis coaches, club fitters and professional golfers can quickly determine correct club or racket characteristics for a child. The main conclusion of this study is that children should be considered as individuals instead ofbeing grouped into age or height categories. Children should be fitted to equipment in terms of their size, strength and ability if effective equipment that is more suited to their needs can be constructed.

Full text
Abstract:
Training aids can play an important role in the training of athletes, but only if they assist in the learning of correct technique. The design of a training aid differs considerably from the design of other products because it is crucial that the mechanisms used in learning a skill must be taken into consideration. Research has shown that this can be achieved by: encouraging specific motor skills, providing feedback, providing support in a safe environment, permitting repetition, permitting progressive learning, or by providing some combination of these. For this to be possible an in-depth understanding of the biomechanical requirements of the sporting activity is essential. A study was carried out to determine the fundamental requirements of a training aid, and to then design and build two working prototype gymnastics training aids. Elite training sessions were observed and High Performance coaches were interviewed to establish the skills that required a training aid and the customer requirements for such a device. On the basis of this information two contrasting gymnastics skills were chosen. The first was a handstand on the rings, a complex motor control skill requiring the gymnast to balance on two moving pendulums, requested by 100% of the coaches interviewed. The second skill was a backward handspring, often the first backward dynamic skill most gymnasts will learn, requested by 89% of the coaches interviewed. The training aids were required to simplify the learning of the skill, whilst still utilising correct technique. The backward handspring aid was also required to effectively support the gymnast but not obstruct a good performance. A biomechanical analysis of each skill was carried out in order to inform the design of suitable training aids. The aids were designed and manufactured in accordance with British Standards, and were then biomechanically assessed to ensure that they correctly aided the learning of the skills. In order to assess the aids: displacement, force and muscle activation data were collected and were used to compare the gymnastics skills with and without the aids. The data showed that the training aids replicated the correct biomechanical requirements of the actual skills: the handstand aid was shown to utilise the same control mechanism as was observed on the rings, and the backward handspring aid permitted a unobstructed good performance and assisted in the learning of the skills with correct technique. Both aids were also demonstrated to out-perform any of the existing training aids.

Full text
Abstract:
Principles of concurrent development are applied to the design of a small-scale device for converting natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas into hydrogen. The small hydrogen generator is intended for serial production for application in the production of industrial hydrogen, fueling stationary fuel cell power systems and refueling hydrogen-fueled fuel cell electric vehicles. The concurrent development process is contrasted with the traditional, linear development process for petrochemical systems and equipment, and the design is benchmarked against existing small hydrogen generators as well as industrial hydrogen production apparatus. A novel system and hardware design are described, and a single cycle of concurrent development is applied in the areas of catalyst development, thermodynamic optimization, and reactor modeling and design. The impact of applying concurrent development techniques is assessed through economic modeling, and directions for future development work are identified.

Capital equipment is a critical component of almost every industry and is used to create valuable goods and services for the end customers. However, the initial cost of acquisition and subsequent running costs associated with these equipment pose a significant barrier to young businesses. While servitizing capital equipment is a proven method of increasing access to these machineries in many high-income countries (HICs), the benefits of servitization often do not extend to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In this thesis, I examine the capital equipment ecosystems of both HICs and LMICs, with a focus on the stakeholders involved. I also explore both the challenges facing equipment businesses when operating in LMICs and the innovative solutions being implemented by successful LMIC service businesses. Based on these examples, I offer recommendations for budding service-based equipment business that are working to improve affordable access to capital equipment in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract:
Low-intensity and sedentary work have become more common in work life the last decades. More and more people get health problems as stress, lack of well-being and decreased work performances. Neck, shoulders, and arms are the most affected areas because of low activity for a longer time. Sedentary workers are often aware of that they should be more active, but there is often a lack of motivation.  A personal trainer gave a request to encourage more people to do 3D training. The area was discussed and resulted in that this master thesis will focus on designing a product that will encourage sedentary workers to use 3D training to prevent injuries. 3D training is a training form where you do exercises in three planes. Daily activities require movements in three planes. In 3D training the body works as one unit, if the arm is in movement, the feet should be affected to move as well. The body wants to naturally spread out the forces it is affected of, that is the main focus in 3D training. If a person is sedentary for a longer time, the body will get rigid and have more difficult to spread out the forces. The personal trainer uses the training form together with his customers, who thinks it is fun and give fast results. The personal trainer has been a contact person and a reference person in this master thesis. My role as an industrial design engineer is to take the needs from the sedentary workers and the stakeholders when designing a product. The aim was a concept that should be delivered in a full-size prototype and CAD renderings. The aim of this project was to motivate sedentary workers to change their behavior by using the final concept. The research questions in this project were as followed How does the theory of 3D training relate to practice? What are the user needs for a product that encourage 3D training? When and where is the most appropriate context for a product that encourages sedentary workers to use 3D training? How should a product that encourages 3D training be designed to motivate sedentary workers to use it? The project has been conducted using a design process with four steps together with agile elements, which means that to find the best solution for the users, they should be involved in the process. This was conducted through two deliveries of concept/concepts during the process where the users could give feedback. Through different design methods in the right stage of the process, a direction has been found towards the final solution, which has led to a solution that fulfills the objectives and aims.  The solution that I have come up with is a color stick that changes the color of light depending on in what directions it is held. This product should be used in the office and facilitate learning 3D training exercises through an application. It instructs exercises by letting the user go from a start color to an end color. It can be used without connection to an application, but if it is connected, a timer can be set when the stick is going to light up and remember the sedentary worker to move. In the application a number of exercises can be stored so the person can put up goals to reach. The light stick will not be expensive wich is an advantage to motivate the user to buy one. This product can motivate sedentary workers to be more active which can reduce levels of injuries and sick leave. A full-scale functional prototype was created and gave a good understanding of the function of the concept.  In the beginning, the project was comprehensive within 3D training, but after each phase, the direction towards the best solution became clearer and clearer. This project can show that good results can be achieved as an industrial design engineer if a design process is used in the right way with appropriate methods.
Lågintensivt och stillasittande arbete har blivit allt mer vanligt de senaste årtiondena. Fler och fler personer får problem med hälsan så som påfrestningar, sämre välbefinnande och minskad arbetsprestation. Nacke, axlar och armar är de vanligaste områdena som påverkas av låg aktivitet under en längre tid. Stillasittande arbetare är ofta medvetna om att de bör vara mer aktiva, men det saknas oftast motivation.  En personlig tränare gav en förfrågan att skapa något som uppmuntrar personer att använda 3D-träning. Området var diskuterat och resulterade i att det här examensarbetet kommer att fokusera på att designa en produkt som uppmuntrar stillasittande arbetare att använda 3D-träning för att förebygga skador. 3D -träning är en träningsform där man gör rörelser i tre plan. Vardagliga aktiviteter kräver att vi utför rörelser i tre plan. I 3D-träning så arbetar man med kroppen som en enhet och är armen i rörelse bör fötterna påverkas. Kroppen vill på ett naturligt sätt sprida ut de krafter som den påverkas av, detta är fokus i 3D-träning. Sitter vi mycket stilla blir vi orörliga och kroppen har svårare att sprida ut krafterna. Den personliga tränaren använder träningsformen tillsammans med sina kunder som tycker att den är roligt samt ger snabba resultat. Den personliga tränaren har fungerat som en kontaktperson och referensperson i det här examensarbetet. Som civilingenjör inom teknisk design har uppgiften varit att ta de behov som stillasittande arbetare och intressenter har i beaktning när produkten designas. Målet var att ett koncept i en fullskalig prototyp skulle levereras tillsammans med CAD renderingar. Målet med projektet var att motivera stillasittande arbetare att ändra beteende genom att använda det här slutliga konceptet. Frågeställningarna i det här projektet har varit Hur relaterar teorin om 3D-träning till praktiken? Vilka är användarbehoven för en produkt som uppmuntrar 3D-träning? När och var är det mest lämpliga sammanhanget för en produkt som uppmuntrar stillasittande arbetare att använda 3D-träning? Hur ska en produkt som uppmuntrar 3D-träning vara designad för att motivera stillasittande arbetare att använda den? Projektet har genomförts med en designprocess uppdelad i fyra steg med agila inslag. Med agil så menar man att den bästa lösningen för användarna hittas genom att de är involverade i processen. Det här genomfördes genom två leveranser av koncept genom processen där användare fick ge feedback. Genom att använda flera olika designmetoder i rätt steg i processen så har en riktning skapats mot slutliga lösnigen, detta har lett till en lösning som uppfyller syften och mål. Lösningen som jag har kommit fram till är en färgstav som ändrar färger genom ljus beroende på vilken riktning den hålls i. Den här produkten ska användas på kontoret för att underlätta inlärningen av 3D-träningsövningar genom en applikation. Den instruerar hur rörelser ska genomföras genom att användaren går från en startfärg till en annan slutfärg. Den kan användas utan att vara uppkopplad till applikationen, men om den är uppkopplad så kan en timer ställas in på staven så att den ska lysa upp och påminna den stillasittande arbetaren att röra sig. I applikationen så kan antalet övningar bli lagrade så att personen kan sätta upp mål att nå. Ljusstaven kommer inte vara kostsam vilket är en fördel för att motivera användarna att köpa en. Den här produkten kan motivera stillasittande arbetare att vara mer aktiva, vilket kan minska skadorna och sjukskrivningarna. Den fullskaliga funktionella prototypen var bra att använda för att förstå funktionen av arbetet. Projektet var till en början omfattande inom 3D -träning, men efter varje fas så gavs en tydligare och tydligare riktning mot den bästa lösningen. Det här projektet kan visa att goda resultat kan åstadkommas av en civilingenjör i teknisk design om en designprocess används på rätt sätt med lämpliga metoder.

Companies are facing an increased challenge to meet the needs of individual customers in a cost effective manner. The days of mass producing standardized products for homogeneous markets for long periods of time are quickly fading from memory. Instead, a large variety of products must be produced at the same efficiencies formerly associated with mass production. In an effort to meet this challenge, some companies are implementing a business strategy of mass customization. One form of this business strategy stresses a modular product architecture. Economies of scale are achieved through standardization of components. Economies of scope are achieved by using similar manufacturing processes for each product line. Still, producing a large variety of products demands flexibility in manufacturing. Therefore, a tremendous burden is placed on manufacturing system designers. They must develop a manufacturing system that can react to frequent product changes yet be highly efficient in this low-volume, high-mix environment. In effect, manufacturing system designers are faced with the same problems imposed on product designers in a business striving to deliver mass customized products. They must meet the individual needs of a variety of manufacturing processes and customers. Because these processes are often specialized, the volumes associated with any one particular process are relatively low. The similarities to the product world are striking. In fact, it can be argued that many of the techniques now used to deliver mass customized products might well be used to deliver mass customized manufacturing systems. Moreover, this concept applies even when the products themselves are mass produced. This thesis investigates the principles and benefits of a mass customization approach to product development and extends those principles to the process domain. The focus will be on the benefits of modularity in manufacturing equipment design. It will be shown that a modular approach to manufacturing equipment design increases the flexibility of the manufacturing system, shortens the time to market, and better meets the needs of manufacturing customers without great sacrifices in cost and efficiency. Throughout this thesis, however, the reader will be reminded that modularity is just one component of the mass customization business strategy and that all components must be aligned to achieve success.

Abstract:
The performance of offshore process equipment on floating production platforms may be reduced through imposed sea motion. Fluid sloshing inside primary separators and non-segregated storage tanks may lead to oil/water mixing. The aim of previous work into sloshing has been to prevent damage to LNG tankers and increase the stability of space rockets. Work into oil/water sloshing appears limited. A computer controlled motion simulator was developed to conduct experiments with two rectangular vessels filled with air, refined oil and water. Two single sinusoidal forcing motions were applied, pitch and surge at various amplitudes and periods. Additional experiments were conducted with combined forcing motions pitch/roll and pitch/surge. Air/water interface profiles were measured and analysed using a computer based data logging and processing system. Air/oil and oil/water profiles were recorded using high speed video equipment. Also studied were the effect of baffles in reducing interface amplitude and the effect of forcing on oil/water transfer. A linear theory was derived to predict natural frequencies of three fluid systems and a numerical model was developed to predict near resonant behaviour. Air/water experiments and numerical model showed a coupling of natural and forcing frequencies in the free surface frequency spectrum. Favourable comparisons were also seen between the numerical model and oil/water experiments. Additional experiments indicated that oil/water mixing is promoted by resonant forcing in an unbaffled vessel. The presence of baffles reduces interfacial breakup and hence reduces oil content of water.

As companies outsource more manufacturing and design responsibilities to external vendors and therefore become less vertically integrated, the role of supply chain management becomes increasingly complex. Its role is particularly difficult when product generation follows a serial process flow, with the supply chain function residing at the end and where it inherits poorly defined supplier relationships. A more integrated approach that seeks to proactively design the supply chain during product generation is required. Central to this integrated approach is the timely exchange of information both within the company, between R&D and procurement, and external to the company, between procurement and its suppliers. The timing of the information flow is crucial. It needs to occur before the company is locked into a single supplier and when its bargaining power is the highest. It also needs to occur in a manner that does not slow down the product development process. In practice, that means that specific information needs to be exchanged and committed to prior to supplier selection. Ultimately, the information exchange described in this thesis leads to improved supplier relations that enable the company to shift its procurement practices from the tactical approach of buying materials to the strategic approach of buying supply services. The research for this thesis was conducted at a partner company of the Leaders for Manufacturing (LFM) program. The company manufactures test equipment used in the semiconductor industry. Due to the highly cyclical and unpredictable nature of this industry, supply chains that can guarantee responsiveness and availability are desirable. The supply chain design recommendations proposed in this thesis are based on an analysis of a recent product generation program at the company. By continuing to implement these recommendations, the company should benefit from shorter product development cycle times, smoother production ramps, improved customer service levels and lower sourcing costs.

Delivery of subsea equipment and sensors is generally accomplished with unguided sinking platforms or powered autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). An alternative would be to augment existing platforms with navigation and guidance capability, enabling them to actively guide themselves to their destination, with minimal added complexity and power consumption. This defines a new class of AUV having 110 propulsion, which we call the Vertical Glider. This thesis investigates the challenges posed by this deployment concept, and describes in detail a prototype vertical glider that was built for initial tests. We explore through computer simulation the specific roles of various operating parameters, such as control gain, measurement noise, and process noise, on the overall vehicle performance. The prototype vehicle has been successfully pool-tested, and serves as a baseline platform for open water operations and multi-vehicle deployments.

As water resource limited, walking in shower has become prevalent. It uses less water than a typical bath and become the mainstream adopted by the public. Hence, shower related products which appeal to incorporate design factors such as safety, environmental-friendly water usage, level of comfort as well as uniqueness has been the focus in the recent year. However, compared to the past researches which relying on physical mechanism to achieve the purpose of water saving, this thesis will introduce the digital interface and mini hydroelectric power generating technology to shower equipment.It allows users to access some information such as water temperature and water usage, which in turn assuring the safety of the user as well as achieving water saving. Furthermore, this revolutionary concept will create new business opportunities in the future shower products. This thesis will set to analyze three mainstream products which can be readily found in the market, namely showerhead, showerhead adapter as well as the shower tower. Through detailed investigation on the possibilities of digitalizing the three products, various design proposals have been conceptualized and suggested. Then the commercial and social values of each propoals will then be evaluated by FAHP(Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) , and a promotable product proposal can be devised, which is most feasible and can best utilize current technology . At the end of the thesis, a product model with great level of maturity will be created based on the chosen proposal, and using a embedded system chip to simulate its function for the purpose of proving its real feasibility.

In recent years, manufacturing orders has become more and more diverse, coupled with the propose of industry 4.0. As a result, global manufacturing types have gradually changed. Now, Taiwan’s industry is moving toward intelligent automation step by step. For this reason, the manufacturing industry uses Cyber Physical System (CPS) concept to promote the development of production towards digitalization, prediction and man-machine cooperation. Programmable Logic Controller is the main technology used for control of shop floor equipment. Because the importance of CPS data collection, we should make sure that the communication between equipment and upper controller is real time and correct before the equipment moving in. Therefore, if the operation mode of the whole system is constructed by the emulation model and the control system is connected with the actual port input and output function, then we can analyze the operation flow and response of the actual system. So that the losses caused by the actual problems can be prevented. This research uses the emulation model to understand the operation status of the whole system, it can shorten the development cycle, reduce the construction cost of the equipment, make the equipment reliable and stable, and avoid damages and costs caused by actual problems.

During the past 30 years, Taiwan semiconductor industry has ever been set up by complete supply chain including design, manufacture, assembly, and testing, and played a worldwide significant role. Referring to SEMI’s (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) summary, Taiwan has been the most important market of global semiconductor equipment. Unfortunately, Taiwan’s local equipment makers stay behind overseas competitors in the aspect of key components. This research is to survey the market and development of semiconductor equipments. Moreover, related issues and their causes are also reviewed. Mainly, QFD is used, in this thesis, to implement efficient semiconductor equipment development. We conclude that QFD is effective to find out the bottleneck of the equipment development, and also a feasible way for development strategy.

This study aims to examine the design awareness in Taiwan Fitness Equipment Industry. First of all, based on literature review, two aspects of design awareness were defined - personal and organizational. The personal design awareness consists of design knowledge, design sensitivity, design attitude, and design communication behavior. In contract, the organizational design awareness contains design activity, design value, design maturity, and design positioning. Secondly, 4 case studies with in-depth interviews with designers and/or managers in design and/or marketing departments were conducted to capture some better insight into the construct measures for questionnaire survey and research hypothesis. In the final survey, a total of 51 valid questionnaires were collected from design and marketing functional departments in 35 fitness equipment firms in Taiwan. The main findings are summarized as follows. In the aspect of personal design awareness, it was found that some marketing personnel possess a design educational background. Both design and marketing personnel have highly positive attitude toward the existence of design and its value. On the other hand, the results in the aspect of organizational design awareness indicate that: firms in Taiwan fitness equipment industry highly admit that industrial design is positively connected to their business functioning. Design activities are mostly adopted in the stage of conceptual development evaluation. In some firms, designers are taking part not only in innovative design but also in strategic planning. Moreover, several firms have established Industrial Design as an independent functional department, which undoubtedly reveals the emphasis of design in this industry. This study provides a general framework for design awareness research. During the survey, it helps the responding personnel as well organizations to promote their design awareness, to increase the enterprise design activities, and hopefully to achieve the best value of design in the future. In addition, the research suggestions for firms can hopefully be adopted to upgrade the design management and administration. Finally, information gathered from this industry can be a useful reference for future research of design awareness in other industries.

Escape slings are often installed in high-rising buildings, but when a fire starts, the utilization rate of escape slings is very low. This is due to the difficulty of operating an escape sling and also the unstable way that it fastens, which deters people from using it. In this study, we found the most common human mistake through an escape sling operating test. We also found people’s feelings and suggestions about the escape sling through a questionnaire survey. Using the TRIZ method to redesign the escape sling and confirm the result with the TOPSIS method. At last, through expert interviews we verified the results, and moreover, got advice for making the products better. This product feasibility study ameliorates the escape sling’s problems by improving intuitive wearing, giving more protection and simplifying the operation process for affected people to reduce errors and operating time, giving them a better chance to escape.
