Currently, published risk analyses for drones refer mainly to commercial systems, use data from civil aviation, and are based on probabilistic approaches without suggesting an inclusive list of hazards and respective requirements. Within this context, this paper presents: (1) a set of safety requirements …

As a German conglomerate company specialized in electrical engineering and electronics, operates Siemens the world market with eight different divisions ranging from Power and Gas to Mobility.

The additive manufacturing (AM) of high-quality products requires knowledge of the 3D-printing process and the related design guidelines. Allthough AM has been around for some years, many engineers still lack this knowledge. Therefore, Fontys University of Applied Sciences sets great store by training …

The two-dimensional vehicle routing problem (2L-VRP) is a realistic extension of the classical vehicle routing problem where customers’ demands are composed by sets of non-stackable items. Examples of such problems can be found in many real-life applications, e.g. furniture or industrial machinery transportation. …

Modern engineering systems are complex socio-technical structures with a mission to offer services of high quality, while in parallel ensuring profitability for their owners. However, practice has shown that accidents are inevitable, and the need for the use of systems-theoretic tools to support safety-driven …

The continuous increase of accident and incident reports has indicated the potential of drones to threaten public safety. The published regulatory framework for small drones is not visibly based on a comprehensive hazard analysis. Also, a variety in the constraints imposed by different regulatory frameworks …

Author supplied from the article: ABSTRACT Increasing global competition in manufacturing technology puts pressure on lead times for product design and production engineering. By the application of effective methods for systems engineering (engineering design), the development risks can be addressed …

Systems Engineering (SE) is a methodical approach to the development of New (high-tech) products. In 2012 a group of Dutch universities of applied Sciences and companies started a so-called RAAK MBK project to make the Tools of SE more accessible for SME’s. At the same time these tools can be used for …

This thesis is based on the graduation assignment to design a fitting integration between Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and Field Vision. ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems is currently in the middle of a huge implementation project that aims to implement a new ERP system for all its subsidiary companies. Because …

In psychiatric care professionals perceive some patients as ‘difficult’, especially patients with long-term non-psychotic disorders. For these patients few evidence-based treatments exist. An intervention program, Interpersonal Community Psychiatric Treatment (ICPT), was developed by the authors. It …
