Six different Digital Proofing Systems from three different techniques have been evaluated as totechnique, printing quality, economy and usability. Digital proof from two paper qualities, coatedand uncoated, has been compared with references printed in offset, to see how good they match eachother. Only two Proofing Systems manage to print on reference paper. The other Proofing Systemsuse special paper for digital proof.Measurements and visuell judgement show that the Digital Proofing Systems visualise referencepictures with quite good quality. Proof optimised for coated paper visualise the colours with goodresult. Proof optimised for uncoated paper shows higher quality than the references, which depends onthe surface of the proofing paper. Comparison between reference paper and proofing paper has takenplace as to differences in colour and paper quality.The Digital Proofing Systems are fully automatic, which demand a quite comprised education forcorrect handling. The purchase price and printing costs vary considerably between the ProofingSystems.

This thesis deals with the extension of the RoScan scanning system features, making its behaviour more secure and adaptivte during scanning of the object on its whole trajectory. This work contains mathematical model of said manipulator, suggested methods to ensure proper behaviour during singularities. New features were added to the RoScan system such as control panel for manipulator control including new format of trajectory log, moving closer or further away from manipulator’s end effector and non adaptive trajectory testing for singularities. Result of this work is ready-to-use.

二十一世紀人類面對環境變遷及資源耗竭的問題，廣泛地討論因應對策，並提出環境議題成為產業下一次工業革命之觸發重點。各國政府、環境保護推行組織及企業皆針對該議題提出施行策略與政策，其中企業界回應態度由早期被動因應，近年來轉變為主動結合企業核心經營理念，實踐兼具環境與經濟目標之綠色經營，並開拓創造價值之新商機。針對企業綠色經營策略之規劃與執行，多位學者指出需要透過一個完整的管理架構，將企業於環境行動之現況與未來綠色經營之實踐藍圖，以具體可行的階段性目標陳述出來，並展開成為行動方案，逐步實現綠色經營下永續發展之願景。 本研究文獻探討著重三部份：永續經營思維的演變，綠色經營的發展，及綠色經營實踐階段性作法。利用Olson (2008) 綠色經營階段性發展模型之三大構面：領導理念、指導方針及具體實踐，並選擇日本綠色經營領導廠商精工愛普生公司，研究實務個案與理論架構之異同與行動背後之策略意涵。 本研究歸納出以下結論：一、企業推行綠色經營前期決策為戰術層級，發展至後期提升至戰略層級。二、企業推動綠色經營前期，視外部壓力為經營條件之限制；發展至後期企業將環境議題視為下一個驅動企業成長的機會。三、企業推動綠色經營前期因應外部壓力，主要回應法規及市場需求，推動單一倡議與重點投資，以降低成本與風險為主；後期主動領導階段以環境行動創造價值，結合綠色思維與企業價值主張，進而創造競爭優勢及打造新經營模式。四、企業推行綠色經營前期以產品相關議題為改善標的，因應環境相關法規改善製造成份與製造程序為主；產品階段改良步上軌道後，後期企業開始思考創新價值活動的可能性。五、合作對象範圍隨經營發展階段擴大，前期以整合合作夥伴、教育員工為主；後期擴大將環境理念教育傳達至顧客、社區協力合作。 / Facing the problems of environmental change and natural resources depletion, these environmental concerns are widely discussed and debated in hope to bringing up more public attention and countermeasures. Overtime, these environmental factors have become the trigger of next generation industrial revolution in twenty-first century. Governments, organizations and enterprises put forward environmental protection strategies and policies. Enterprises generally take a passive stand to respond to the issue of actively taking environmental initiatives combined with their core business philosophy to achieve both the environment and economic goals of a green business model, and further explore new business opportunities to create value. A number of scholars have pointed out that enterprises manage sustainable green vision through a complete management structure in response to the current situation and the future blueprint for a green business strategy. Green strategy implementation plans illustrate specific, feasible and stage-dependent statement for enterprises to achieve both economy and ecology objectives. In this research, the literature review focuses on three issues: the evolution of sustainable development thinking, green business development and management, and stage-dependent implementation of the green strategy. Meanwhile, the research chooses a green management leading practitioner in electronic product industry- Seiko Epson Corporation as the case-study company and the study focuses on three distinct dimensions of a green strategy maturity model which are illustrated by Olson (2008): role of leadership, role of policies and illustrative actions. The research identifies and draws the following conclusions. First, with the management maturity for implementing green strategy, the decision-making level is escalated from tactical level to strategic level. Second, in the early stage of implementing green strategy enterprises see external conditions as constrains and in later stage they see them as opportunities for driving growth. Third, the early stages of awareness are largely in response to external pressure, regulations and demand from the community, investing in simple initiatives to streamline costs and reduce risks. The later stage of the initiative leads to the value creation which combines green thinking and business value proposition, thereby creating competitive advantages and create new business model. Fourth, the early stages of green management focus on product-related improvement issues and, in the later stage, enterprises start to consider innovative new value activities through green strategy. Fifth, the scope of cooperation expands as green management stage develops. In early stages enterprises integrate partners and educate employees and in the later stage to convey the environmental concept to customers and the community to achieve the vision together.

This diploma thesis deals with the tracking of objects using a robotic manipulator Epson C3 and a color camera. The work describes the basic qualities of the device to be used. The OpenCV library and its wrapper EmguCV are used as software tools for computer vision. It discusses the basic issues and principles of tracking objects in the image and introduces some methods of tracking. These methods have been tested and therefore their strengths and weaknesses, which appeared during testing, are listed here. Furthermore, there is a procedure for calculating the new coordinates of the camera and the manipulator effector using homogeneous transformations. The work contains the results of testing the algorithms and their evaluation. The output of the work is a test application for the Epson C3 robot.
