Robuste Produktion im volatilen Umfeld/A Simulation-based Analysis to Implement Robustness against Disturbances – Robust Production in Volatile Environments

Unter den Bedingungen eines volatilen Umfelds wird es für Unternehmen heute schwieriger die Zielerreichung in der Produktion sicherzustellen. Heterogene Schwankungen im Verhalten der Elemente eines Produktionssystems erfordern die Fähigkeit, Planzustände stabil beibehalten zu können. Dieser Beitrag stellt einen Messansatz vor, der mithilfe der Materialflusssimulation diese Elemente einer Produktion hinsichtlich ihrer Robustheit bewertet. So lassen sich robuste Produktionssysteme ableiten.   It is becoming increasingly difficult for manufacturing companies to achieve their production targets in today’s volatile economic environment. Heterogeneous fluctuations in the behaviour of components of a manufacturing system require stable planning states. The following article presents a measurement approach which uses material flow simulation to evaluate components in manufacturing in terms of their robustness. Thus, robust manufacturing systems can be derived.

Robust manufacturing of lipid-polymer nanoparticles through feedback control of parallelized swirling microvortices

A variety of therapeutic and/or diagnostic nanoparticles (NPs), or nanomedicines, have been formulated for improved drug delivery and imaging applications.

Manufacturing technology for implementing geological disposal: electroforming of copper canisters

The existing capability and current development needs for implementing electroforming as a viable manufacturing process to produce copper cylinders with dimensions comparable to the Swedish KBS-3 design are discussed. Large freestanding copper cylinders can be produced readily, but there is a need to address challenges associated with controlling the electro-deposition process to conform to compositional and mechanical requirements of the copper layers produced. The methodology to optimize the manufacturing process, based on a study of key parameters, such as the effects of electrolyte additives on grain size and the chemical composition of electroformed layers, is described here. Possible ways to introduce a robust manufacturing route are also presented.
