Tillämpning av RFID i små och medelstora hamnar

Svennar, Rickard, Gunnarsson, Jonas January 2012 (has links)
Enligt Steenken et al. (2004) motsvarar container shipping 60 % av världens transporter över haven. Användningen av containertransporter har ökat med tio gånger sedan mitten av 80-talet. En ökning av containertrafik ställer enligt Steenken et al. (2004) ökat krav på hamnars logistik och styrning samt val av teknisk utrustning. En informationsteknik som flera författare argumenterar för är RFID-tekniken som är en växande teknik som kan effektivisera flera av dessa områden.   Därav är syftet för denna studie att undersöka tillämpbarheten av att använda RFID-tekniken för effektiv hantering av containrar inom containerterminaler i hamnar. För att avgränsa arbetet så har författarna till denna studie valt att inrikta sig på hur RFID-tekniken skulle kunna tillämpas inom containerterminaler med RFID-taggar fästa på godstypen containrar.   Studien har utgått ifrån följande frågeställningar: Vilka är de kritiska faktorerna för en containerterminals lönsamhet? Vilka områden är viktiga att ta hänsyn till vid tillämpning av RFID-tekniken. Vilka förbättringsmöjligheter medför ett tillämpande av RFID i containerterminaler? Vilka problem eller hinder infinner sig i och med tillämpandet av RFID-tekniken i containerterminaler?   För att besvara syfte och frågeställningar har författarna till denna studie utifrån den teoretiska referensramen tagit fram en analysmodell innehållande fem områden som bör undersökas för att avgöra om RFID är av värde att tillämpa för den aktuella hamnen eller inte. Denna modell kommer att appliceras på två fall, Gävle Container Terminal och Zhuhai International Container Terminal Gaolan Limited.   Studien har visat att RFID-tekniken är tillämpbar och kan medföra fördelar i flera områden för containerterminaler men att de samtidigt finns flera barriärer för att lyckas. Dessa är kostnader och standarder. Men studien påvisar även sätt att kringgå dessa, bland annat genom att bygga upp RFID tillsammans med övriga intressenter i kedjan / According to Steenken et al. (2004) container shipping is corresponding to 60% of global shipments by sea. The use of container transport has increased tenfold since the mid80's. An increase in container traffic is according to Steenken et al. (2004) putting increased demands on ports logistics, management and selection of technical equipment. One technique that many writers argue for is the RFID technology which is an emerging technology that can facilitate more of these areas. It is the purpose of this study to investigate the applicability of using the RFID technology for efficient handling of containers in container terminals. In order to define the work, this study chose to focus on how RFID technology could be applied within the container terminal with RFID tags attached to the type of cargo containers. The research questions were: What are the critical factors for container terminals profitability? What areas are important to consider when applying the RFID technology? What opportunities for improvement entail application of RFID in container terminals? What problems or obstacles present themselves in the application of RFID technology in container terminals? To answer the purpose and questions of this study the authors of this study based on the theoretical framework developed an analysis model containing five key areas that should be examined to determine if RFID is adding value to applicable for the surveyed port or not. This model will be applied to two cases, Gävle Container Terminal and Zhuhai International Container Terminal Gaolan Limited. The study has demonstrated that RFID technology is applicable and can generate benefits in several areas of container terminals, but the study also found several barriers to success. These are particularly cost and standards. But the study also shows ways to circumvent them, including through the development of RFID with other stakeholders in the chain

Pore structure and oil flow through hardened cement paste, mortar and concrete

Okpala, Daniel Chiedu January 1982 (has links)
Increased oil exploration necessitates building of conc~ete structures for its production and storage. The effects of crude oil on concrete properties are not well known and little data is available in the published works. This investigation covers HCP, mortar and concrete. First, it studies the effects of cracking and direction of casting on the flow of water or oil of different constitutions through concrete storage tanks. Secondly, it studies the relationships between the pore structure and permeability of HCP, mortar and concrete as influenced by w/c ratio, hydration and aggregate content. OPC was used for the tests. Experimental results show that, in concrete specimens, the flow of water through cracks is generally greater than the flow of crude oil through the same type of cracks. Sorptivity can predict reasonably accurately the flow of liquids and is useful in characterizing the flow of various oil types th:r:( ,ugh HCP, mortar and concrete. No specific oil property appears to control the oil flow through cement composites. Concrete tanks should be lined when used for storing diesel and parafin. Crude oil flow through concrete tank wall was found to be 1.06 - 1.81 times flow through the tank floor. Increasing the w/c ratio, increases the total porosity, pore surface area and threshold radius but decreases the density and does not effect the hydraulic radius. Increasing the age of HCP (w/c = 0.7) from 7 days to 6 months decreases the total porosity, pore surface area, threshold radius and hydraulic radius by 12%, 19%, 71% and 9% respectively, but increases the density by 13%. Adding sand to HcP, reduces the total pore volume and the pore surface area but increases the density. Wax deposits from the crude oils blocked all pore radii <650A, which is called the "critical pore radius" (Pcr). Saturation in crude oil appears to alter the internal structure of the cement composites. Dry curing increased most pore parameters but decreased the strength of the mortars. Permeability of mortar and concrete increases with w/c ratio, applied pressure, aggregate volume concentration and drying temperature but decreases with the test period and hydration. permeability was found to relate reasonably accurately to pore structure using Kozeny's theory provided the pore parameters are for pores of radii >650A.
