We are considering the problem of state estimation in induction motors. One key feature of this work is that the problem is dealt with based upon a model that accounts for the saturation effect of the magnetic circuit characteristic. Indeed, magnetic saturation cannot be ignored, especially when high power machines are considered. The above model is first based upon to analyse the machine obser...

Cloud computing emerges as a new computing paradigm concerned by both academia and industry. Resource management of multiple virtual machines is the core of Infrastructure as a Service. Focusing on the CPU resources, the purpose of this paper is to increase the QoS of web service by properly scheduling the CPU resource across the virtual machines. We formulate the CPU scheduling of multiple vir...

Service orientation has emerged as a new promising paradigm for enterprise integration in the manufacturing sector. In this article, we focus on the approach and technologies for constructing a service oriented manufacturing environment. The service orientation is achieved via virtualization in which everything, including machines, equipments, devices, various data sources, applications, and pr...

An intelligent robot is a remarkably useful combination of a manipulator, sensors and controls. The current use of these machines in outer space, medicine, hazardous materials, defense applications and industry is being pursued with vigor but little funding. In factory automation such robotics machines can improve productivity, increase product quality and improve competitiveness. The computer ...

Nowadays, by successful application of on time production concept in other concepts like production management and storage, the need to complete the processing of jobs in their delivery time is considered a key issue in industrial environments. Unrelated parallel machines scheduling is a general mood of classic problems of parallel machines. In some of the applications of unrelated parallel mac...

The electrical machines had a lot of benefits upon the developments made in the last years in the powder material industry. This statement is well proven by the coming out in the last two decades of the transverse flux machines (TFM). The iron core of most of these machines is built of soft magnetic composite (SMC), which allows three-dimensional flux paths. In this paper measurements of a SMC ...

Production and non-productive equipment and personnel delays are a critical element of any production system. The frequency and length of delays impact heavily on the production and economic efficiency of these systems. Machining processes in wood industry are particularly vulnerable to productive and non-productive delays. Whereas, traditional manufacturing industries usually operate on homoge...
