SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE UTILIZATION IN MANUFACTURING OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLY: EXERGY ANALYSIS OF THE PROCESSSaiganesh, Subramaniam 01 January 2010 (has links)
Engineering for sustainable development requires prudent utilization of resources under economic, environmental and societal constraints. Resource utilization must follow a holistic approach. This brings in a need for comprehensive metrics which are simple, standard and universal. Thermodynamics may offer a metric that focuses on both quality and quantity of energy resources which may carry information to be combined with other metrics. This metric may be a thermodynamic property called exergy or available energy, which provides a better insight into resource use in both energy and non-energy producing systems. This thesis is devoted to a study of the exergy concept in manufacturing.
A high volume PCB assembly, manufactured in a state of the art soldering facility is chosen for the study. Various mass and energy resources flowing through the production line were quantified in terms of exergy. On the basis of exergy content and exergy utilization in the production process, the sustainability in terms of resources use is discussed. An early version of this approach was presented at the International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technologies, IEEE, Washington DC, in May 2010.

印刷電路板工廠現場排程之研究 / A Study of Shop Floor Scheduling on a PCB Manufacturing System黃萱懿, Huang, Shuan-yi Unknown Date (has links)
近年來,印刷電路板(printed circuit board, PCB)產業在台灣蓬勃發展,對台灣經濟表現有相當重要的影響;與此同時,產業內各廠商卻因內外環境變異等因素,而面臨日益激烈的競爭壓力。本研究針對產業前段的生產工廠(PCB manufacturing)從管理面探討問題來源,發現各廠商所導入的管理系統(MRP、ERP、SCM等)均缺乏現場排程(shop floor scheduling)功能,因此造成排程結果不具可行性,連帶導致管理系統的績效也未如預期理想。
為解決該產業所面臨的現場排程問題,本研究透過個案訪談方式,對產業特性深入了解,歸類此類問題為排程領域中的流程型工廠排程問題(flow shop scheduling)。
在求解過程中,本研究以總延遲時間(total tardiness)最小化為目標,並以禁忌搜尋法(tabu search)作為最佳化過程的演算法。於理論探討後,本研究亦實際建置一套排程系統,並以來自個案工廠的訂單資料實際求解,以評估此系統績效。

Development of a Cost-Effective, Reliable and Versatile Monitoring System for Solar Power Installations in Developing Countries : A Minor Field Study as a Master Thesis of the Master Programme in Engineering Physics, Electrical EngineeringTrella, Fredrik, Paakkonen, Nils January 2016 (has links)
This report is the result of a conducted Minor Field Study (MFS), to the greatestextent funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency(SIDA), in an attempt to design a system for evaluating smaller solar power systems indeveloping countries. The study was to the greater part conducted in Nairobi, Kenyain close collaboration with the University of Nairobi. The aim was to develop asystem that would use easily available components and keep the costs to a minimum,yet deliver adequate performance. The system would measure certain parameters of asolar power system and also relevant environmental data in order to evaluate theperformance of the system. Due to the specific competence of the collaboratinggroup at the University of Nairobi, a Kinetis Freescale K64-microcontroller with anARM-Cortex processor was selected as the core of the design. Components wereselected, schematics were drawn, a circuit board was designed and manufactured andsoftware was written. After 12 weeks a somewhat satisfying proof-of-concept wasreached at the end of the field study in Kenya. The project however proved howdifficult it is to go from first idea to a functional proof-of-concept during a limitedtimeframe, and also in an East-African country. The final proof-of-concept was testedat Mpala Research Centre in Kenya and despite containing some flaws proved that itwould indeed be possible to design a working system on the principles discussed inthis report. The system is open-source, so anyone may use and modify it.
