Byggebransjen utvikles kontinuerlig, både med tanke på utførelse og verktøyene som benyttes på byggeplass men også hvordan selve prosjekteringsprosessen gjennomføres. Bruken av BIM i større prosjekter blir mer og mer vanlig, men potensialet som ligger i BIM som verktøy utnyttes i mange tilfeller svært lite effektivt. Det blir i mange prosjekter produsert både modell og tegninger for å sikre ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is replacing traditional manufacturing approaches – such as subtractive and molding – in some industries. The product and supply chain impacts of AM continue to extend its industrial reach, improve engineer-to-order manufacturing, and pave the way to mass customization. This study explores the supply chain changes that may arise from a full or partial transition to AM-based ...

The additive manufacturing or 3D printing (3DP) technologies have undergone exponential expansion, particularly in the previous couple of decades. Additive manufacturing technologies have paved the way for easy component manufacturing in large-scale and high-performance businesses. The introduction of desktop 3D printers has established 3DP as a reliable technique for generating prototypes and direct ...

Drones can help offshore logistics to improve safety, increase production efficiency, and reduce CO2 emissions. Drones will also be used in the development of new energy solutions on offshore stations. The aim is to see new logistics and support infrastructure, which will complement what we now have on ships and helicopters. Johan Castberg FPSO requires offshore drone logistics operations and for ...

A hospital is an institute in the healthcare system that provides us with services like patient treatment focusing on specialized medical staff, including doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers, medical equipment, and procedures. The hospital is the first line of defence against any type of illness or a pandemic; it is the sector that has been the most devastated and is the most vulnerable. ...

Faget «Transportsystemer for Vann og avløpsteknikk» ved Institutt for Bygg, Energi og Material teknologi skal foreleses for første gang ved UiT Norges Arktiske Universitet våren 2023. For å utforme pensum i emnet vil denne oppgaven samle, analysere og søke å forbedre modeller fra følgende kilder og metoder: • Data fra utgitte lærebøker, rapporter eller tilgjengelig materiale. • Data fra aktuelle ...

Sensitivity analyses of rate constants for chemical kinetics of the pyrolysis reaction are essential for the efficient valorization of plastic waste into combustible liquids and gases. Finding the role of individual rate constants can provide important information on the process conditions, quality, and quantity of the pyrolysis products. The reaction temperature and time can also be reduced through ...

Digitalization not only improves individual performance but also helps orchestrate supply chain partners to serve a bigger goal. To fully benefit from supply chain digitalization, a high level of integration across supply chain activities is required. This chapter introduces major interactions between production management decisions and the supply chain strategy, structure, and performance to explore ...

Studies report that writing skills of many beginner students in Norwegian higher education institutions are not adequately developed, showing a lack of critical thinking and referencing technique and a poor requisite language ability (Lødding and Aamodt 2015, Wollcheid et al. 2020). Literature also shows that a traditional lecture setting does not help students to enhance their learning autonomy ...

Global energy consumption is projected to grow by nearly 50% as of 2018, reaching a peak of 910.7 quadrillion BTU in 2050. The industrial sector accounts for the largest share of the energy consumed, making energy awareness on the shop foors imperative for promoting industrial sustainable development. Considering a growing awareness of the importance of sustainability, production planning and ...
