چکیده
Services are today over 70% of the Gross National Product in most developed countries. Hence, the productivity improvement of services is an important area. How to collect data from services has been a problem and service data is largely missing in national statistics. This work presents an approach to collect service process data based on wireless indoor positioning using inexpensive wireless sensors and smart phones. This work also presents how the collected data can be used to extract automatically the process model. These models can further be used to analyse the improvements of the service processes. The presented approach comprises a light-weight process data acquisition system, which collects a minimised but precise data sets for automated process modelling. This automated modelling can be used to greatly improve the traditional process modelling in various service industries, for example, in the healthcare field. The presented approach has been tested and used in Tampere City dental care clinics.

Objectives: Automated Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) peak detection is a novel technique to facilitate the measurement of neural synchrony along the auditory pathway through the brainstem. Analyzing the location of the peaks in these signals and the time interval between them may be utilized either for analyzing the hearing process or detecting peripheral and central lesions in the human he...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
متن کاملDeveloping a ChatBot to Answer Spatial Queries for use in Location-based Services
A Chat Bot is an automated operator that can interact with customers like a human operator, answer their questions, solve problems and get feedback. Real-time responsiveness, the sense of talking to a human user is one of their good features that can be used to deliver location-based services. This paper designed a Chat Bot that can talk and answer users' questions based on their location. Thi...
