Ultraviolet Radiation Technologies and Healthcare Associated Infections: Standards and Metrology Needs

August 20, 2021
Author(s)
Dianne L. Poster, C Cameron Miller, Richard Martinello, Norman Horn, Michael T. Postek, Troy Cowan, Yaw S. Obeng, John J. Kasianowicz
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) hosted an international workshop on ultraviolet-C (UV-C) disinfection technologies on January 14 – 15, 2020 in Gaithersburg, Maryland in collaboration with the International Ultraviolet Association

Feasability and Performance Analysis of Automating Engineering Change Requests

August 18, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Sharp, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., William Z. Bernstein, Soonjo Kwon
Engineering change is a non-value-added activity that happens as a product progresses through its lifecycle. Engineering change is a significant cost sink in many projects. While avoiding and mitigating the risk of change is the ideal approach, mistakes

Boonserm Kulvatunyou, David Romero, Gregor V. Cieminski, Paolo Gaiardelli, Ilkyeong Moon, Giuditta Pezzotta, Stefan Wiesner, Marco Macchi, Jannicke B. Hauge, Irene Roda, Daryl Powell, Torbj?rn Netland, Nick Szirbik, Christoph Roser, Erlend Alfnes, Martin Rudberg
Since its inception in 1978, the IFIP Working Group 5.7 on Advances in Production Management Systems (APMS) has played an active role in the conception, development, and application of innovative strategies, frameworks, architectures, processes, methods

A Novel Data Standards Platform using ISO Core Components Technical Specification

August 1, 2021
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Elena Jelisic, Hakju Oh, Simon P. Frechette, Vijay Srinivasan
It is generally observed in inter-organizational communication that present-day data exchange standards are too costly and too complex to develop and use. These problems in data exchange are felt keenly by manufacturing industry with its vast supply chains

Integrating MTConnect and IndoorGML for Asset Monitoring and Indoor Navigation

July 16, 2021
Author(s)
Aaron M. Hanke, Teodor Vernica, William Z. Bernstein
Interoperability across emerging visualization modalities, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), remains a challenge with respect to industrial applications. One critical issue relates to the lack of standard approaches for

Advancing the Accuracy of Computational Models for Double-sided Incremental Forming

July 11, 2021
Author(s)
Newell Moser, Dohyun Leem, Liao Shuheng, Kornel Ehmann, Jian Cao
Double-Sided Incremental Forming (DSIF) is a rapid-prototyping manufacturing process for metal forming that, for low-volume production, is competitively energy-efficient. However, controlling the DSIF process in terms of accuracy and formability is an

Agility Metrics in the ARIAC Competition

July 10, 2021
Author(s)
Anthony Downs, Zeid Kootbally, Craig I. Schlenoff
A thriving manufacturing sector is the essential heart of a vibrant and balanced economy in the United States(U.S.). Small and medium manufacturers (SMMs) constitute an important sector in the U.S. manufacturing but they are currently facing an increasing

Adapting natural language processing for technical text

June 29, 2021
Author(s)
Alden A. Dima, Sarah Lukens, Melinda Hodkiewicz, Thurston Sexton, Michael Brundage
Despite recent dramatic successes, Natural Language Processing (NLP) is not ready to address a variety of real-world problems. Its reliance on large standard corpora, a training and evaluation paradigm that favors the learning of shallow heuristics, and

A Prototype of a Standard Spreadability Tester for Additive Manufacturing

June 23, 2021
Author(s)
Justin G. Whiting, Vipin Tondare, Shawn P. Moylan, Alkan Donmez
We describe a simple device called Standard Spreadability Tester (SST). The idea behind the SST is that instead of trying to predict how a powder will spread using the powder's intrinsic properties (e.g., PSD, morphology, surface, and chemical makeup) or

Defining requirements for integrating information between design, manufacturing, and inspection

May 11, 2021
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Michael Sharp, Toby M. Maw, Moneer Helu, Mostafizur M. Rahman, Swati Jadhav, James J. Whicker, Allison Barnard Feeney
Industry desires a digital thread of information that aligns as-designed, as-planned, as-executed, and as-inspected viewpoints. An experiment was conducted to test selected open data standards' ability to integrate the lifecycle stages of engineering

A Visual Analytics Approach for the Diagnosis of Heterogeneous and Multidimensional Machine Maintenance Data

May 10, 2021
Author(s)
Xiaoyu Zhang, Takanori Fujiwara, Senthil K. Chandrasegaran, Michael Brundage, Thurston Sexton, Alden A. Dima, Kwan-Liu Ma
Analysis of large, high-dimensional, and heterogeneous datasets is challenging as no one technique is suitable for visualizing and clustering such data in order to make sense of the underlying information. For instance, heterogeneous logs detailing machine
