Big data is defined as a large set of data that could be structured or unstructured. In manufacturing shop-floor, big data incorporates data collected at every stage of the production process. This includes data from ...

Co-simulation is a key step in the development of today’s complex cyber-physical systems (CPS), specially in the integration and validation activities. However, performing a co-simulation involving models developed in ...

Localization is one of the most critical tasks for an autonomous vehicle, as position information is required to understand its surroundings and move accordingly. Visual Odometry (VO) has shown promising results in the ...

This paper presents a general comparison procedure for medium voltage - high power multilevel converter topologies and semiconductors, which is mainly based on analyzing the performance limits of the converters output ...

The measurement of fast voltage and current transients of Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices requires high bandwidth (BW) probes. Commercially available voltage and current probes can be expensive, and, in addition, the delay ...

The inception of digitalization has transformed many organizations. Presently, personal and professional lives are difficult to fathom without the utilisation of digital technologies. For organisations, digital innovation ...

In this paper, an automatic sampling-based view planning algorithm is proposed, for accurate 3D reconstruction of complex geometry parts present in manufacturing. The initial viewpoint sampling method is able to lower the ...

A novel multi-directional eddy current thermography (ECT) system is presented generating sets of directional phase images that have been fused with a processing pipeline allowing for an improved probability of detection ...

Knowing the tolerance interval capabilities (TICs) of a manufacturing process is of prime interest, especially if specifications link the manufacturer to a customer. These TICs can be determined using the machine performance ...

In transportation applications, filling high pressurised hydrogen tanks within a few minutes implies a fast and large temperature increase that can compromise the structural integrity of the storage system and the safety ...
