History and Design of Iowa's Highway Maintenance and Weighing Facilities, 2003

In June 2001, the Iowa Department of Transportation announced the imminent closure and disposal of selected highway maintenance facilities as part of cost-cutting measures mandated by the Iowa legislature, an action that was to be completed by July 31, 2001. The DOT recognized that some of these facilities might be "historical sites," which in the Iowa Code are defined as any district, site, building or structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or identified as eligible for listing in the National Register by the State Historic Preservation Office. Section 303 of the Code requires state agencies to "enter into an agreement with the Department of Cultural Affairs [in which the SHPO is located] to ensure the proper management, maintenance and development of historical sites." The DOT saw this disposal action as an opportunity to compile information about its highway maintenance facilities that could be employed in development of a management program for historic highway maintenance facilities in the future. Subsequently, the DOT authorized a similar study of highway weigh stations.

Needs Assessment Study of the Iowa DOT Maintenance Facility Construction Needs, 1989

The purpose of this study is to provide recommendations relative to the location and construction needs for highway maintenance facilities within the state of Iowa. These recommendations were to be developed with consideration being given to the public's expectations and priorities for highway maintenance services. As a part of the study effort, a review was made of the methods used by other states to deliver highway maintenance services. To accomplish the study, Wilbur Smith Associates undertook a series of tasks. These efforts included gathering of data and information to characterize the various maintenance programs and the delivery of maintenance and operations services by the Department. We researched the delivery of highway maintenance services in other states. Interviews with Iowa DOT maintenance personnel were accomplished. A schedule of public hearings was developed and ten hearings were held. All the information was integrated and various analyses were made. From these analyses we drew conclusions and developed recommendations.

Tuotannonohjauksen kehittäminen sähkömoottoreiden huoltotoiminnassa

Diplomityön kohdeyrityksen liiketoiminta on kokenut viime aikoina merkittäviä muutoksia lisääntyneen volyymin, vaihtuneiden toimitilojen ja konsernin taloudellisesti haastavan tilanteen johdosta. Olosuhteiden muuttuessa ja taloudellisten vaikeuksien kasvaessa on tuotannonohjauksen kehittäminen jäänyt yksikössä takaa-alalle, mikä näkyy pitkittyneinä toimitusaikoina ja laskutusviiveenä, heikkona ohjattavuutena ja täten myös kannattavuuden huonontumisena. Työn tavoitteena onkin tutkia sähkömoottorihuoltotoiminnan nykytilaa ja löytää käytännönläheisiä ja nopeasti toteutettavissa olevia ratkaisuja tuotannonohjauksen kehittämiseksi. Työn teoreettisena viitekehyksenä käytettiin tuotannonohjauksen perusproblema-tiikkaa käsitteleviä teoksia, kuten myös tuotannonohjauksen kehityshankkeisiin liittyvää materiaalia. Tämän lisäksi työhön on pyritty saamaan lisänäkemystä suo-rittamalla benchmarking -vierailuja yhteistyöyrityksiin, jossa on hiljattain suoritettu vastaavan kaltaisia, onnistuneita tuotannonohjauksen kehityshankkeita. Työn empiirinen osuus jaoteltiin kahteen teemaan; nykytila-analyysiin ja toimenpide-ehdotuksiin. Nykytila-analyysi pyrittiin luomaan mahdollisimman kattavaksi sisällyttämällä siihen näkökulmia niin tuotannollisten lukujen kuin henkilöstön nä-kemysten perusteella. Analyysin pohjalta yritykselle laadittiin ehdotuksia käytän-nönläheisistä, nopeasti toteutettavissa olevista toimenpiteistä kuten myös ehdotuksia tuotannon jatkokehityksestä.

Analisi Energetica ed Efficientamento energetico presso lo stabilimento Bonfiglioli S.P.A. di Forlì

L'elaborato è stato redatto durante il percorso di tirocinio svolto in azienda nel 2021. Esso consiste in un analisi energetica dello stabilimento Bonfiglioli S.p.a. di Forlì e nel piano di intervento realizzato sotto la guida del reparto Maintenance & Facilities. Dopo la raccolta dati dei consumi energetici, sia elettrici che termici, si è seguita la volontà aziendale di percorrere investimenti che rientrassero nel breve-medio periodo. Analizzando quindi i grafici ottenuti, si è valutata la possibilità di intervenire sulla produzione di aria compressa, in particolare sulla rete di distribuzione. Dopo aver riscontrato problemi di dimensionamento ed averne preventivato la sostituzione, si è passata alla ricerca di perdite lungo i vari punti della rete. Tramite un analisi fonometrica è stato possibile effettuarne la catalogazione e valutare l'intervento necessario; si è quindi costruito un file Excel che ha permesso di studiare la distribuzione delle perdite, i componenti più sensibili ed i costi ad esse associate. In conclusione si è analizzato, tramite la continua raccolta dati, l'effettivo andamento dell'investimento e si sono valutate le correlazioni con le variabili che più influenzano il consumo elettrico per la produzione di aria compressa, permettendo di comprendere la differenza fra il rientro teorico calcolato e quello effettivo. Il modello costruito permetterà inoltre di ottimizzare le scelte riguardanti i piani di manutenzione ed interventi futuri, dimostrando la necessità di un regolare controllo delle perdite sulla rete di distribuzione dell'aria compressa.

Task-based telemanipulation for maintenance in large scientific facilities

This thesis presents a task-oriented approach to telemanipulation for maintenance in large scientific facilities, with specific focus on the particle accelerator facilities at European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland and GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. It examines how telemanipulation can be used in these facilities and reviews how this differs from the representation of telemanipulation tasks within the literature. It provides methods to assess and compare telemanipulation procedures as well a test suite to compare telemanipulators themselves from a dexterity perspective. It presents a formalisation of telemanipulation procedures into a hierarchical model which can be then used as a basis to aid maintenance engineers in assessing tasks for telemanipulation, and as the basis for future research. The model introduces a new concept of Elemental Actions as the building block of telemanipulation movements and incorporates the dependent factors for procedures at a higher level of abstraction. In order to gain insight into realistic tasks performed by telemanipulation systems within both industrial and research environments a survey of teleoperation experts is presented. Analysis of the responses is performed from which it is concluded that there is a need within the robotics community for physical benchmarking tests which are geared towards evaluating the dexterity of telemanipulators for comparison of their dexterous abilities. A three stage test suite is presented which is designed to allow maintenance engineers to assess different telemanipulators for their dexterity. This incorporates general characteristics of the system, a method to compare kinematic reachability of multiple telemanipulators and physical test setups to assess dexterity from a both a qualitative perspective and measurably by using performance metrics. Finally, experimental results are provided for the application of the proposed test suite onto two telemanipulation systems, one from a research setting and the other within CERN. It describes the procedure performed and discusses comparisons between the two systems, as well as providing input from the expert operator of the CERN system.
