This thesis is a part of the Master of Science degree in Industrial Engineering at the University of Tromsø – The arctic University of Norway, Campus Narvik. The aim of this thesis is to improve the logistic service and increase the competitiveness of ports in Northern Norway in order to attract more port users. A literature review on the topics of logistics in seaports is presented, along with an ...

In the first part of thesis, there was conducted a literature review of production and the supply chain with regards to fish farming, existing technologies, together with the potential of alternative digital technology. In the second part, a case study of a relevant manufacturer who is involved in all the aspects of the value chain was carried out to gain insight into relevant supply chain ...

"The aim of this thesis is to design a lifting and lowering device for the storage market. The design is based on a patent, held by Dropracks, which is a collaborator in the thesis. Dropracks is a company developing a lowerable roof rack for cars. This rack is protected by their patent of a lifting and lowering device. This patent gives Dropracks an immaterial protection in all industry sectors, and ...

Verden befinner seg i dag i en rask og omveltende teknologisk utvikling, der alle næringer blir påvirket av digitalisering som radikalt endrer måten å jobbe, samhandle og kommunisere på. Over lengre tid har byggebransjen vært en bransje der innovasjon og nytenkning ikke har vært et satsningsområde. Synkende effektivitet og økt konkurranse mellom aktører har medført at en endring av arbeidsmetode er ...

One of the cornerstones of the steady operation of microgrids and virtual power plants as building blocks for smart grid is the communication system, which is the main objective for evaluation and research in this thesis. The given project investigates the most widespread communication protocols along with IEC 61850 standard for substations automation applied in smart grids. Based on the presented ...

A phasor measurement unit (PMU) has a unique ability of providing synchronized phasor measurements of voltage and currents. This ability distinguishes it from all other metering devices. It has been perceived that PMUs hold the capability of revolutionizing the way of power system monitoring and control. However, high per unit cost and challenges related to its communication system has made ...

This study aims to find the maximum, usable, feed limit at different arc-energies and use the findings in multi-pass welding planning for robotic welding, taking into consideration the high controllability of robot movements. A combined studies using numerical analyses and practical experiments to calculate the feed limits for different arc energies. Each weld where analysed both mathematical, ...

Hensikten med masteroppgaven har vært å identifisere ulike bygge- og installasjonstekniske tiltak som kan utføres for å redusere energiforbruket, og som samtidig forbedrer energimerket på eksisterende yrkesbygninger i Norge. Målet med oppgaven var videre å se på ringvirkningene av redusert energiforbruk. Det vil si et redusert bruk av fossile brensler, en redusering av bygningenes klimagassfotavtrykk, ...
