On Development of Strategic Planning Systems: Conceptual Approaches and International Experience
Authors:   Center for Strategic Planning Studies, Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kislitsyn S.V.
Published: October 2023

Modern changes in the Russian economy are largely associated with the growth of external challenges and risks. In conditions of limited access to many technologies, goods, services and sources of investment, a comprehensive definition of development priorities becomes a serious and multi-level task. This article describes the problems of the functioning of strategic planning systems. It considers the issues of their adaptation to changing domestic and international conditions. The author assumes the need to build them as complex self-regulating systems. The study also describes a foreign experience in the planning field and briefly analyses the development of foreign models and their structural organization. Else it considers the problems of lags associated with introducing or transforming strategic planning systems. The study finds that this process requires systematic work and cannot be an emergency response to emerging threats. The conclusion draws that strategic planning systems are necessary to ensure socio-economic and technological development. However, depending on the changing situation, the role of planning in economic policy may increase and weaken, which should not lead to the breakdown of the system itself. For implementing these conditions, it is necessary to have an appropriate infrastructure that determines the optimal interaction of institutions, allowing for point regulation while limiting the total number of functional elements.

Authors:   International Research Institute for Sustainable Development, Dolgushin A.B.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the methods, mechanisms and tools of state regulation of waste management, enshrined in federal legislation, for compliance with the basic principles of the closedcycle economy. A differentiated system of methods, mechanisms and tools of state regulation of environmental management in the waste management system has been developed. An analysis of federal legislation has shown that the Russian Federation already contains enough administrative, including legal, as well as informational and economic, including incentive, regulatory mechanisms and instruments that can be applied to transition to a closed-loop economy, but with some adjustments or additions. Recommended measures are proposed for the development and restoration of mechanisms and tools for regulating waste management from the Soviet period, strengthening existing and developing new mechanisms and tools for the transition to a closed-cycle economy in the Russian Federation. The results of the study can be used to adjust federal legislation, as well as to adjust national and federal projects. The direction of further research will be the development of the basic principles and provisions of the transition to a closed-loop economy, as well as the justification and development of framework provisions on the closed-loop economy when adjusting federal legislation.

Authors: Nurmaesah Nunung , Sofia Detin , Octavia Savitri
Published: October 2023

In every company, employees are an essential element. To be able to find out whether employees are competent or not, an employee performance appraisal is needed. Employee appraisal is critical, not only because it is a determining factor in employee wage increases and promotions but also because it can evaluate skills. However, the current employee appraisal process still needs to be more objective and accurate, and it takes a long time, and there are many possibilities for human error. This study aims to design a decision support system in determining the best employees using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods. The AHP method is used to calculate the weight of each parameter, and TOPSIS is used to perform the ranking process based on the parameter weighting results. The results of this study found that the best employees were employees with the alternative code A3, with a value of 0.74271.

An automated system that can predict RTSM can be a solution to this problem, a system based on a machine learning model. This study aims to analyze the machine learning model Decision Tree C45 (DT C45), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Naive Bayes (NB). The results showed that Decision Tree C45 was the optimal model to implement with an accuracy value of 70%.
Practice and Other Power in Daochuo’s Pure Land Buddhism
Authors: Conway Michael
Published: October 2023

Daochuo 道綽 (562–645) is revered as a patriarch of both the Pure Land and the True Pure Land schools of Buddhism in Japan. In his Anleji 安楽集 he makes a variety of arguments about the necessity and importance of relying on the “path of easy practice” whereby one aspires to enlightenment through birth in the Amituo’s Pure Land based on the working of the other power of Amituo’s vows. Daochuo’s prioritization of the Pure Land teachings in well know both inside and outside of Japan, but previous scholarship has focused particularly on Daochuo’s arguments that the Pure Land teachings should be taken as the centerpiece of Buddhism due to the degenerate nature of the age and the inferior capacities of the people. Therefore, previous scholarship in both Japanese and English on Daochuo has primarily characterized him as offering an easy practice for incompetent people who were unlucky enough to have been born at a time far removed from Śākyamuni.Through a careful analysis of passages in the second fascicle of the Anleji, in the first section of this paper I show that this understanding of Daochuo’s view of the “path of easy practice” fails to take into account the severity of his criticisms of the Buddhist practices that were preached in the Buddhist scriptures and prevalent at his time and therefore mischaracterizes the nature of his choice of Pure Land Buddhism as the most effective and excellent form of Buddhism and the only avenue for anyone at any time, regardless of their individual capacities or temporal relation to a Buddha, to genuinely fulfill the Mahayana ideal.Although Daochuo took a very broadminded stance toward practice, holding that any practice undertaken with a desire to be born in the Pure Land would qualify the practitioner to receive the benefits of the other power of Amituo’s vows, there are also several points in the Anleji where he singles out the practice of the nianfo 念仏, particularly vocal recitation of the nianfo, as the most appropriate and effective practice for people to engage in. In the second section of this paper, I introduce the passages where Daochuo encourages the practice of the nianfo and show that he prioritized it both because he held it was most appropriate for the sentient beings of the Latter Days of the Dharma and because it afforded practitioners with a variety of benefits that were not available to those who sought after birth in the Pure Land through other practices.

Authors: Salkhi Khasraghi Safa , Mehan Asma
Published: October 2023

Local reports from different international societies have considered the achievement of the successful Glocalized architecture model in line with the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Aga Khan Cultural Foundation’s International Program for Islamic Architecture has also prioritized the understanding of the success drivers in architectural projects. This study aimed to detect the potentials of the common global indicators to access qualitative design assessment through analyzing the Aga Khan Award’s reports. The selected methodology in the present study is a quantitative approach using the systematic content analysis and coding techniques for qualitative data obtained from the technical. The physical, non-physical, modern, and traditional factors that have contributed to the success of the works as well as their combinations were extracted and analyzed using Sensible and Abstract international, national, and local indications. There is a relative superiority for Sensible indications (A combination of modern and physical factors). The hybrid data distribution provides the ground to assess the works, and this can be used to manage the globalization challenges in the contemporary architecture of Muslim societies.
La méthode des coûts-performances cachés au service de la fonction achats
Authors: Crouzet Sylvie
Published: October 2023

L’article étudie l’instrumentation des achats, par la méthode des coûts-performances cachés. La problématique peut s’exprimer sous la forme de la question suivante : comment la méthode des coûts-performances cachés s’applique-t-elle aux achats et quels en sont les apports ? L’étude s’appuie sur une recherche-intervention de 24 mois menée dans le secteur de l’assurance, avec un positionnement de praticien réflexif. Les résultats montrent que la méthode des coûts-performances cachés s’applique aux achats en dotant les acheteurs de moyens de catégoriser les dysfonctionnements et de les intégrer au coût d’achat. La prise en compte des dysfonctionnements par l’acheteur renforcera la confiance/la légitimité de la fonction achats aux yeux des clients internes.

Le Commandement et le contrôle ( C2 ) des opérations multi-milieux multi-champs de haute intensité : vers une nouvelle Révolution dans les affaires militaires ( RMA )
Authors: Lyautey Nicolas
Published: October 2023

Penser le Commandement et le contrôle ( C2 ) de demain, c’est penser l’évolution du caractère de la guerre. La dégradation du contexte sécuritaire et le risque de conflit de haute intensité doivent nous encourager à investir dans le C2 Multi-milieux multi-champs (M2MC). Il s’agit de mieux intégrer les nouveaux espaces de conflictualité, tout en accélérant la boucle OODA (Observation-Orientation-Décision-Action), en particulier au niveau tactique. Car l’indice de performance du C2 , c’est le temps. L’accélération de notre transformation numérique doit permettre de dynamiser les fonctions renseignement et ciblage, en boucle courte. Sur le long terme, un recentrage du niveau opératif proche du niveau stratégique pourrait s’accompagner de l’émergence d’un niveau tactique M2MC.
Le paradoxe de la surprise et de la transparence
Authors: Faurichon de la Bardonnie Antoine
Published: October 2023

L’avènement annoncé de la transparence du champ de bataille aurait dû conduire au bannissement de la surprise tant il semble s’inscrire dans la logique du primat de la technologie sur l’intelligence et de l’observation sur la dissimulation. Et pourtant, force est de constater qu’en Ukraine ou ailleurs la surprise s’assume plus que jamais comme un levier de puissance dans la dialectique qui oppose deux volontés. Investissant de nou veaux milieux et se déployant dans de nouveaux champs, l’affrontement et ses nombreuses combinaisons offrent un environnement très favorable à l’irruption de la surprise dans nos visées stratégiques. Il faut, dès à présent, se réhabituer à vivre avec elle et, pardessus tout, s’interdire d’en laisser l’usage exclusif à l’adversaire.

Histoire des Lois de programmation militaire (LPM)
Authors: David Christophe
Published: October 2023

Protéger la France, c’est planifier dans l’incertitude, car l’environnement international est mouvant, les risques évoluent, les finances de l’État aussi. Ainsi, dresser l’histoire des LPM sous la Ve République conduit inévitablement à s’interroger sur leur utilité, la comparaison entre la programmation et l’exécution montrant qu’elles ont rarement été respectées. L’auteur propose une synthèse pédagogique et chronologique, en suivant trois macrocycles, qui illustrent l’acceptabilité politico-sociale de l’effort de défense, lui-même lié au contexte international et économique du pays : la priorité donnée au nucléaire, les dividendes de la paix, les attentats en France et le retour de la guerre en Europe. Il conclut par des propositions pour l’avenir.
99 Luftballons : réévaluer l’équilibre entre masse et technologie dans les conflits futurs
Authors: Hoff Aaron
Published: October 2023

De Sun Tzu à Clausewitz, de grands stratèges militaires ont réfléchi à la place de la masse dans la guerre. Les progrès technologiques, quant à eux, ont parfois fait passer l’avantage de l’attaquant au défenseur – il s’agit du dilemme « du glaive et du bouclier ». Depuis l’apogée des armées massives pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et l’introduction du bouclier technologique ultime que constituent les armes nucléaires, les armées du monde entier ont cherché le meilleur équilibre entre la technologie et la masse. Cet article examine le retour d’expérience de conflits récents afin d’identifier les stratégies possibles pour tirer le meilleur parti de la masse et de la technologie afin de se préparer aux guerres de demain.
Les déstabilisations possibles conséquences des évolutions démographiques mondiales
Authors: Richard Alexandre
Published: October 2023

Alors que la population mondiale a atteint 8 milliards d’êtres humains en 2022, les études prospectives de l’Organisation des Nations unies décrivent le scénario probable d’une stabilisation autour de 10 Md d’habitants à l’horizon 2100. L’évolution sera inégale entre les pays développés qui se vident et les pays en développement qui vont connaître une croissance démographique forte et génératrice de tensions, de conflits et de flux migratoires. Alors que la population chinoise décline, l’Inde devient le pays le plus peuplé de la planète. Toutefois, cette puissance démographique n’est pas un atout stratégique majeur face à des compétiteurs mieux organisés, aux populations plus unies et mieux équipées technologiquement.
De l’inscription rituelle au texte séditieux : les graffitis hébraïques du mur des Lamentations, de l’Antiquité au 20 e siècle
Authors: Wallach Yair
Published: October 2023

Pendant des siècles, les pèlerins juifs qui se rendaient à Jérusalem écrivirent leurs noms sur les pierres du mur des Lamentations dans le cadre de leurs dévotions. En 1930, cette pratique fut brutalement proscrite par les autorités coloniales britanniques, lorsque le Mur devint l’épicentre du conflit arabo-sioniste naissant. Dans ce nouveau contexte, les inscriptions hébraïques acquirent une dimension politique et on commença à les regarder comme des tentatives de subversion, qu’il n’était plus possible de tolérer. Fonctionnaires britanniques, dirigeants arabo-musulmans et même chefs de file du mouvement sioniste : tous voyaient dans ces graffitis des textes séditieux. Au lendemain des émeutes de 1929, ils furent donc interdits et effacés de la surface des pierres, mais aussi de la mémoire culturelle juive.
Variation in the standard norm: the case of spoken Basque
Authors: Jauregi Oroitz , Urreta Irati
Published: October 2023

La estandarización suele ser un proceso vital en la normalización de las lenguas. La creación de una variante estándar, una variante unificada de la lengua, es una nueva herramienta, un nuevo recurso para los hablantes, a quienes dota de una variante formal, cuidada, de la lengua, para necesidades comunicativas ya existentes o que puedan surgir en el futuro. El estándar del euskera se conoce como Euskara Batua (Euskera Unificado). Este artículo tiene el objetivo de presentar la estandarización de la pronunciación del euskera, entendiendo la creación de la norma como una intervención externa que facilita a los hablantes desarrollar un registro de habla previamente no elaborado.
Analizaremos la variación y flexibilidad presentes en las normas para la pronunciación estándar de la lengua vasca, señalando las razones y los criterios (geográficos y sociológicos) en los que se fundamentó la Real Academia de la Lengua Vasca. Asimismo, basándonos en el modelo teórico de la Fonología Natural, argumentaremos la base fonológica de algunas normas. Se mostrará que las decisiones adoptadas en la configuración de algunas normas no coinciden con las argumentaciones fonológicas defendidas por la Fonología Natural en cuanto a la relación entre registros de habla y los tipos de procesos fonológicos.

Modeling the Microbial Cells for Biotechnological Applications
Authors: Kaya Fatma Ece Altinisik , Avci Fatma Gizem
Published: October 2023

Synthetic biology is an engineering approach that designs biological systems to have new functions for useful purposes. Rational cell design is crucial for synthetic biology and can be considered a strategy that includes increasing the production efficiency of a cell or developing a new product by changing or adding specific biochemical reactions and regulations using modern metabolic engineering techniques. Metabolic flux and control analyses with models created in silico following cellular genome mapping have also contributed significantly to rational cell design. Models make the prediction of behaviors possible without performing a vast number of experiments when biological systems are modified. The modeling of microbial cells for the biosynthesis of high-value products is gaining increasing attention in biotechnology. In this chapter, the main focus will be on the concept of the genome scale metabolic modeling of microbial cells in biotechnological applications with an emphasis on biofuels and pharmaceuticals.

Redesign of Manufacturing Workstation with Value Sensitive Design and Axiomatic Design to Incorporate Values of Industry 5.0
Authors: Agote-Garrido Alejandro , Martín-Gómez Alejandro M. , Lama-Ruiz Juan Ramón
Published: October 2023

Industry 5.0 arises as a logical advance of Industry 4.0 to enhance the values that were being gradually abandoned due to the rapid technological advancement. These values focus on the human being, the sustainability and the continuity of the industrial system become the main objectives to be maintained during the development of the new smart industry model. These objectives allow the design of work environments within Industry 5.0 that ensure the adaptation of workers to technologies of Industry 4.0, in a sustainable way and that strengthen a resilient industrial system. In the present work the use of Value Sensitive Design (VSD) methodology for the redesign of manufacturing workplace in accordance with the values established by the Industry 5.0 is proposed. In this process, the VSD tripartite methodology allows to maintain the values of Industry 5.0 throughout the design process. Moreover, the integration of this methodology with the Axiomatic Design (AD) allows to achieve specific design parameters that meet the needs of the different stakeholders. The application of this model seeks the development of symbiotic work environments, in which workers increase their different physical, sensory and cognitive abilities with advanced technologies. The design of a work environment following the proposed model promotes a social smart industrial environment in which the safety and health of workers is ensured.
Technological Migration from I3.0 to I4.0 Applying Concurrent Engineering and Adapted Agile Management Methodologies
Authors: Iglesias Iván , Araujo Madalena , Ares Enrique , Peláez Gustavo
Published: October 2023

The world is experiencing constant changes due to emerging technologies and business globalization. Industry 4.0 is causing paradigms to change at an industrial level, which, together with the technological advance of communication networks and the internet, will allow for achieving complete digitization of manufacturing processes. Digitization solutions implementation is hampered by the lack of adequate management procedures and methodologies to simplify the requirements analysis and the incorporation of improvements using I4.0.There are several methodologies for managing and controlling projects, but they need to adapt according to the required migration of systems from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0. A literature review has allowed identifying the most important characteristics of industry 4.0 based on the main digital enablers. Nowadays, any migration of technological systems also requires using an appropriate management methodology, replacing or complementing the traditional waterfall methodology, that can be easily controlled and where errors can be predicted and corrected in the shortest possible time. These new tools are important to facilitate the implementation of I4.0, especially in regions and companies with a low tradition of adaptation to technological changes.In this work, a novel concurrent methodology framework based on engineering and adapted Scrum work is proposed to implement I4.0 technology migration, using technology enablers. It was designed to provide several advantages, namely: feedback provided every certain period of time to correct errors, the use of multidisciplinary teams, and its easy implementation. This adapted Scrum & concurrent methodology framework will offer a new management approach to the I4.0 transition projects, which we expect can be applied at the industrial level, especially in developing countries.
Performance Improvement in Service Manufacturing Lines Supported by Information Sharing and Task Assignment Flexibility
Authors: Arteaga Ana G. , Calvo Roque
Published: October 2023

The combination of automation and workforce must be properly analyzed during design to ensure coupled control coordination. Otherwise, we find challenges that end increasing the losses or the cost. The flexibility of the process is based on the combinations in which the parts of the system can interact and work collaboratively. This seemingly heuristic approach in current sorting lines is the basis for time efficiency. This research presents a systematic analysis of a three lines conveyor for manual sorting with a shared and segregated information system. This system uses a central information display which provides the workers the direction and location guidance for the operation. The layout is based on a real packing and sorting line from commercial transportation. This is an upgrade to the hand scanner system where the worker could advance the allocation information instead of retaining in mind the current mapping to asset the task quickly, thus this causes irregular utilization between workers, being this an uncontrollable variable. The results show how the communication between systems and the access to information in real time improve the performance of the worker and, in turn, the process time is reduced. In addition to the increase of production output, the overall quality performance improves as the learning curve of operator evolves without retention in task repetition.
Historical and Technological Study and Scale Reconstruction of Trebuchet

Published: October 2023

Catapults are war instruments that have been used for centuries; the author of the first catapult is not known with certainty, although many scholars agree that their first appearance could have occurred in China. At first, they were operated by human power, with a dozen men pulling a rope to run the mechanism. Later came the trebuchet, an invention attributed to Mardi Ibn Ali al-Tarsusi, a type of catapult that uses the potential energy of a counterweight to launch the projectile further and with more power than with the old catapults. Today, we can find several mechanisms that use the same principle as the trebuchet. In this work, the geometrical modelling, the mechanical analysis, its functioning, and the actual scale reproduction of the device are carried out.
Data Preparing for Reverse Engineering
Authors: Kubátová Dana , Čížek Ladislav , Netrval Vítězslav
Published: October 2023

Reverse engineering, or the creation of models from physical objects, is increasingly being used in many industries including manufacturing, automotive design, and computer animation. The presented work focuses on the issue of data preparation for reverse engineering. The aim of the thesis is to map the issues of working with the Zeiss LineScan optical sensor on a 3D coordinate measuring machine in the metrology laboratory of the Regional Institute of Technology at the University of West Bohemia. The aim of the work was to map the software setting options supplied by the sensor manufacturer. The sensor can obtain clouds of three types of points: RSL (Raw Scan Lines - measured points, directly recorded by the scanner, without further adjustments), GSL (Gridded Scan Lines - points reduced and grouped into a grid of a given step), and QSP (Qualified Surface points - compressed and grouped points into a given grid). The evaluation of the experiment revealed the ideal setting for the specified measurement conditions. Reference objects with nominal lengths of 100 mm and 500 mm were chosen. The data required for evaluating each sensor setting were obtained through a series of measurements of these objects. The output of the experiment is a comparison of each option for setting up the scanning method. GSL points with a step setting of 0.1 mm were evaluated as the most suitable setting for measuring objects with similar shapes. They showed stable deviations within the selected tolerance of ± 0.03 mm for all measurement variations. RSL and QSP points, on the other hand, showed less stability of deviations across the measurements.
Application of the Human-Oriented Planning Model in the Supply Chain: From the Global System to Specific Cases
Authors: Gallego-García Diego , Gallego-García Sergio , García-García Manuel
Published: October 2023

Today, a great challenge exists in predicting and assessing the behaviour of the diverse actors within planning systems. Furthermore, the effects and impacts of human decisions and actions are normally not considered in the planning process. Moreover, uncertain events and disruptions increase the lack of planning accuracy in which traditional planning driven methods often failed resulting in major deviations between expected and actual outcomes representing a great risk. In addition, the cause of the differences is often difficult to find due to the focus on the technical ideal planning method, i.e., the risk is difficult to mitigate based on this traditional approach. Thus, the purpose of the research is to develop a conceptual model on how to bring any planning system from its theoretical and ideal perspective to a reality and human-oriented planning by integrating the human factor in the planning system. The paper presents a global planning system and a conceptual model to develop the human-oriented planning model in the supply chain. A general description of how to apply it in the different supply chain areas such as procurement, production, and distribution planning is described. Moreover, the model is applied in specific cases to close the gap by generating profiles. Therefore, the model pursues to consider the behaviour of the actors and human agents within the planning within information systems thanks to quality tools. Finally, a discussion of implications in current information systems is performed.
Design of a Test Bench to Measure In-Plane Friction Forces Produced by a New Under-Actuated Modular Device
Authors: Bianchi Edoardo , Jorg Oliver Jonas , Fantoni Gualtiero , Brosed Dueso Francisco Javier , Yagüe-Fabra José Antonio
Published: October 2023

Flexible and adaptive systems for handling and transporting materials within companies and warehouses are increasingly being studied in order to respond to the variability of production and the market. Following this trend, the authors, seeking a simplified design and control, proposed a novel under-actuated modular surface that exploits the friction forces generated by idler rotors inside the modules, for object manipulation. On this subject, the paper concerns the design of two novel measurement set-ups for the determination of parameters fundamental to the single module functioning and the validation of its analytical model. In particular, the test benches are designed to collect the friction forces exchanged between the device rotor and the object moving on top of it, simulating a normal working condition of the surface. The first set-up is specifically dedicated to identify the friction coefficients in the two main directions of the rotor, i.e. along the axis of rotation and in the perpendicular direction. While the second set-up is focused on the validation of the analytical model, thanks to the simultaneous measurement of the two in-plane friction forces caused by the object moving in different directions with respect to the rotor axis. The article describes the operating principles of the test benches and the analytical models for interpreting the data. In addition, some results concerning friction coefficients are introduced. These verify the basic operating assumptions and therefore evidence the module functioning and the quality of the novel test benches, opening their use also for similar transport devices.

Published: October 2023

Soft robotics presents itself as a new path to adopt in several applications in the industry. The area of soft robotics aims to equip robots for unpredictable needs, providing them with capabilities that are based not on control systems, but on the properties of materials and the morphology of their bodies. This work aims the creation of a soft robotics application, more specifically a soft gripper. The development of an original concept of a soft material handler (soft gripper) is intended, capable of performing the stipulated handling functions, through certain actuation mechanisms, meeting the requirements and constraints presented in the next sub-section. The final solution is based on an improvement procedure supported on structural Finite Element (FE) analyses. Cost analysis and prototype construction/validation finalize the evaluation. The gripper was designed, a prototype was executed, and tests were carried out to prove correct operation. These tests were successful showing the project as suitable for a real production environment.

With all this, the weight and importance of AM in the evolution of different fields (materials science, engineering, computer science, etc.) will be established and the trend in research work will be analyzed both quantitatively (evolution of the number of publications in each field, quantitative impact indexes of publications and qualitatively. All this will allow the reader to know, on the one hand, the temporal evolution of advanced in AM, and on the other hand, the reader will be able to have a "still picture" of the current situation that can be taken as references for the prospective analysis of the technique in a complementary way to that provided in business studies.

After the process of design, selection of materials, prototyping and manufacture of an enclosure intended to protect electronic systems installable outdoors, it remains to describe the behavior of these enclosures, in order to ensure that the electronics installed inside are protected from the environment in which it is installed. For this, different tests of mechanical, thermal, natural aging, artificial aging and sealing natures must be accomplished. For some of the afore mentioned examinations there are directly applicable regulations, while in more specific situations, the particularities of the enclosure and its use requirements, force to an adaptation of the procedures applied to these requirements. Based on this, a method and a test plan are proposed to make sure that the system is protected against the environmental conditions in which it is installed, both for the purposes of humidity, solid particles, mechanical or thermal stresses, as for the action of aging by ultraviolet radiation among other circumstances.

With the advancement of globalization and the growth of Industry 4.0, it is necessary to apply new concepts and methods for manufacturing to increase the productive capacity and efficiency of processes. These concepts allow the application of intelligent manufacturing within the Aerospace industry, responsible for transforming manufacturing processes using software technologies based on artificial intelligence, to automate the Sheet Metal Parts modeling process and get more accurate data. Therefore, it applies to Models for Manufacturing (MfM) in product projects, a recent methodology that presents an organization for formally defined information and knowledge. However, MfM does not consider information tracing and inconsistency analysis in the modeling phases. Based on this paradigm, a solution is proposed by developing and adopting methods, processes, and tools of Ontology-Based Engineering based on the MfM model to obtain data. In addition, Semantic Technologies are used for data processing through an OWL structure, also formalizing the information through semantic rules in SWRL. This research aims to: (I) Obtain data extracted from Sheet Metal Parts and structure them from ontology; (II) Formalize information about this data using semantic rules; (III) Validate information between product and manufacturing projects to identify and address inconsistencies in advance.

The aviation industry is changing significantly as market demands and customer expectations evolve. Aircraft must be designed and manufactured with a future-oriented production system that incorporates computational intelligence, connectivity, and decentralization to ensure the highest levels of quality and performance. By leveraging these technologies, real-time monitoring and continuous process improvement can be achieved through collecting and processing massive amounts of data, accompanied by more sophisticated communication protocols. Among the many operations involved in component assembly, drilling processes are particularly relevant in the aeronautical industry. When drilling airframe components, hybrid joints are generated by combining stacks of various materials, such as titanium and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). Due to the complexity of drilling these hybrid stacks and the need to adhere to strict quality and safety standards, the cost-per-hole can be pretty high. Consequently, scientific studies in this area are of great interest, as they offer the potential to increase productivity and reduce costs. This research aims to investigate using spindle power consumption signals obtained directly from an industrial drilling system to monitor tool wear evolution. Signal pre-processing, feature extraction, selection, and validation are used to analyze data from two sources: the spindle power consumption signals obtained from the internal instrumentation of the machine and the cutting tool. The study focuses on automatic drilling operations carried out in hybrid stacks at an aircraft manufacturing facility, and the results show a strong correlation between power consumption and tool wear. These findings suggest the potential to develop a non-intrusive tool condition monitoring system that could be applied to other machining processes in the industry.
Comparison of Augmented Reality Technologies Applied to Assembly Processes in Aerospace Industry

Published: October 2023

The assembly of an aircraft is executed by performing a series of assembly operations, which are carried out following specific instructions called work instructions. In addition, the quality control of these operations is performed following verification instructions. Traditionally, these work and verification instructions were based on 2D documentation (on paper or digital screen), prepared by manufacturing engineering, and made available to operators by manufacturing engineering systems (MES) when required. Over the last decade, Airbus has made significant progress in ensuring the digital continuity of processes, exploiting information from the industrial digital mock-up (iDMU) downstream, favoring the preparation and use of assembly and quality instructions through new techniques, such as lightweight 3D viewers, or augmented reality. This paper describes experiences of implementation of augmented reality (based on laser or holographic technology) in the workshop, both for assembly and quality processes. Several use cases are analyzed, comparing both technologies, explaining their pros and cons, and justifying the use of each of them in each process.

Nowadays, the energy consumption of machines is becoming increasingly important in production areas. This is mainly due to rising energy costs, but sustainability and energy savings also play an important role. This article aims to carry out a study on the energy efficiency of machine tools through the acquisition of energy data in real time. The proposed methodology is based on Patterson's definition of energy efficiency to analyse the energy consumption of the tools and evaluate its possible improvement through the development of productive, economic and environmental indicators. As a result of this study, the methodology developed is implemented in a machine tool for which the visualisation of these indicators is obtained in real time so that they can be used to help in decision-making to improve the energy efficiency of the tool. In short, this research seeks to provide a solution to one of the great challenges facing industry today due to the increase in energy costs, which is directly reflected in the cost of manufacturing.
