This thesis investigates how machine learning techniques has greater advantages over traditional Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods and Anomaly Detection (AD) in monitoring and controlling process parameters so that the process remains stable and in control to meet required quality satisfactions. The broader term of Predictive Quality Management introduces an important subject of predictive ...

Biomass has the capacity to generate a major part of the global renewable energy demands due to its large supply, versatility, and readily exploitable nature. Biomass can be produced from natural sources like wood waste, grasses, trees, and fast-growing energy crops. Biomass wood chips are produced from crushed trees and can be fed into combustion systems to supply heat energy to buildings. However, ...

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. ...

Digital Twin is a tool used for monitoring systems and controlling systems at a distance; the twining of systems has been around ever since NASA’s Apollo mission; creating a digital twin lets people monitor the system in real-time. A digital twin also allows for modeling, configuration, testing, optimization, and research under dynamic circumstances; it also provides for hazardous free training on ...

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply, demand, and logistics have all been affected. Due to its unpredictable severity, the pandemic has highlighted the need to modify the existing supply chain model, the consumer structure model, and the digitization of markets. At the same time, the situation under COVID-19 offers increasing opportunities for e-commerce, including new business models and ...

The CO2 emission is considered as one of the main elements for causing the global climatic change. The maritime industry contributes about 2.5% of the worldwide CO2 gas emission annually. The International Maritime Industry (IMO) has set the target of has set the target of reducing the total annual emission from international shipping to 70% by 2050. So, the carbon capture, utilization, and storage ...

Fast changeover is changing from one process or machine to another line, process, or machine to produce different products or services. Lean aims at reducing waste, improving productivity, and eliminating non-value-added activities to the customer. Whilst achieving sustained continual improvement in certain activities and process of an organization. This project focuses on implementing the methodologies ...

The world is evolving towards automation at a rapid rate. With this, there are lot of gaps that need to be filled as we switch from conventional methodology of doing things to the adaptation of newer automated technology. One of those many news aspects is Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. 3D Printing has changed significantly over the years, from it being used for making prototypes ...

The e-commerce industry is experiencing rapid growth, and growing customer expectations and demand challenges the industry to find more cost-efficient ways of performing the last-mile deliveries. Drones have in recent years been a hot topic, and with high versatility and several application areas it may be the answer to the challenge. In this project a Vans-and-Drones System for Last-Mile Delivery ...

Designing for downhole environment is a challenging process. High pressure and temperature are the main well conditions that effect the design decisions and the tool geometry. Also, the well fluids can obtain high concentration of corrosive content such H2S acid that plays major role in material selection. The intention of this study is to develop Downhole Control Valve that can be connected to ...
