With the emphasis on reducing costs and increasing efficiency, a record number of companies are embarking on different forms of advance manufacturing technologies (AMT). AMT are broadly defined by many authors (small and chen, Sheppard and stock) as “ an automated production system of people, machines and tools for the planning and control of the production process, including the procurement of...

Abstract Traditional design, manufacturing and maintenance are run managed independently under their own rules regulations in an increasingly time-and-cost ineffective manner. A unified platform for efficient intelligent design-manufacturing-maintenance of mechanical equipment systems is highly needed this rapidly digitized world. In work, the definition digital twin its research progress assoc...

This paper concentrates on the planning requirements for the adoption of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) in order to safeguard their successful implementation. Using the Cypriot manufacturing industry as a case study information is extracted regarding the implementation of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies. The research results are analyzed and are used in the development of a plann...

Due to dynamic evolution, the ability of a manufacturing technology to produce a special product is changing. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the established techniques and processes to detect whether a company’s production will fit future circumstances. Concerning the manufacturing technology planning process, companies must decide when to change to a new technology for maintaining and i...

Novel advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) show great promise for application in many wastewater treatment areas. AOPs are an emerging technology that may be employed for specific goals in wastewater treatment. These AOPs utilize the very strong oxidizing power of hydroxyl radicals to oxidize organic compounds to the preferred end products of carbon dioxide and water. Advanced oxidation has been...
