This paper describes some explorations on the concept of disassemblability as an important circularity indicator for products because of its severe impact on reuse value. Although usefulness of the concept for determining disassembly strategies and for improving circular product design clearly shows …

The aim of this research is to explore the potential of Mixed Reality (MR) technologies for Operator Support in order to progress towards Industry 4.0 (I4.0) particularly for SMEs. Through a series of interventions and interviews conducted with local SMEs, potential use cases and their drawbacks have …

This research reviews the current literature on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the operation of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This paper examines three key aspects in developing the future of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and UAV operations: (i) design, (ii) human factors, …

Tijdens een eerdere stage van de onderzoeker bij werkleerbedrijf Lucrato (in de periode van 30-08-2021 tot en met 21-01-2022) en uit onderzoeken van TNO blijkt dat een operator support systeem van toegevoegde waarde kan zijn voor mensen met cognitieve- en/of psychosociale beperkingen. Daarnaast blijkt …

Background: Modern modeling techniques may potentially provide more accurate predictions of dichotomous outcomes than classical techniques. Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the predictive performance of eight modeling techniques to predict mortality by frailty. Methods: We performed a …

Deze afstudeeropdracht gaat over de Mobile Operator Support applicatie. Deze applicatie is een idee van Voortman Steel Group om operators van een productielijn een app te geven die inzicht biedt in de productie van staal bewerking en verwerkingsmachines. Ook moet deze applicatie notificaties tonen, met …

Study objective: The three-dimensional shape of the ultrasound beam produces a thicker scan plane than most users assume. Viewed longitudinally, a needle placed lateral to a vessel just outside the central scanning plane can be displayed incorrectly in the ultrasound image as if placed intravascularly. …

This study focuses on forecasting tomato sap flow in relation to various climate and irrigation variables. The proposed study utilizes different machine learning (ML) techniques, including linear regression (LR), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), elastic net regression (ENR), support …

Increased spatial pressures on the marine environment asks for smart use of space in order to safeguard the achievement of environmental, social and economic objectives. Multi-use is seen as a new paradigm for space efficiency and might yield other benefits beyond that. Within the scope of their Policy …

The current configuration of the robotic stearate coating process only supports certain bead sizes, the rest is coated manually. The current configuration lacks capacity and requires a lot of maintenance due to the age of the used robots. To be able to support all bead sizes, increase the daily capacity, …
