This Research-in-Progress paper facilitates the design and provides guidelines for the development of a maturity model to achieve a coordinated, systematic and stepwise adoption of industrial internet, thus enabling the industrial internet to be used to its full potential in manufacturing enterprises. Using analogous maturity models from the fields of supply chain management and product lifecyc...

in this study, the possibility of using canola stem residues for particleboard manufacturing was studied. the ratio of canola straw to the industrial particles was as 25:50, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:00 percents, respectively. urea formaldehyde resin was used as binder at three levels of 8, 10 and 12 percent based on oven dried weight of particles and the press time was at three level of 5, 6 and 7 ...

Microbial biotechnology is defined as any technological application that uses microbiological systems, microbial organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use (Okafor 2007). Current agricultural and industrial practices have led to the generation of large amounts of various low-value or negative cost crude wastes, which are difficult to treat and va...

Component-based software development (CBSD) technology uses components as first-class objects and therefore requires a good understanding of the nature of components. Industrial approaches to CBSD based on interoperability standards (such as OMG CORBA) lack of component semantics in their descriptional models. In this paper we present an overview of the SYNTHESIS method emerging the CBSD approa...

Internet of things (IoT) is rapidly increasing technology. IoT is the network of physical object or things embedded with electronics, software, objects to collect and exchange data. In this paper we are developing a system which will automatically monitor the industrial applications and generate alerts or take intelligent decisions using concept of IoT has given us a promising way to build powe...

This paper provides a methodology of Supplier Quality Performance Assessment (SQPA) for the industrial computer industry that introduces modified Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) which uses the multiple regression analysis and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) techniques, and creates value for all members through optimizing order-winners and qualifiers to promote su...

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are widely recommended to protect otherwise insecure industrial control protocols. VPNs provide confidentiality, integrity and availability, and are often considered to be secure. However, implementation vulnerabilities and protocol flaws expose VPN weaknesses in many deployments. This paper uses a probabilistic model to evaluate and quantify the security of VPN ...

Since the end of the Second World War, industrial and medical uses of radiation have been considerably increasing. Accidental overexposures of persons, in either the occupational or public field, have caused deaths and severe injuries and complications. The rate of severe accidents seems to increase with time, especially those involving the public; in addition, accidents are often not immediate...

The rapid development of service outsourcing is a product of international industrial restructuring, promoting the structure optimization of service industrial. Since service outsourcing depends on knowledge highly, this paper explores the relationship between knowledge stock and knowledge absorptive capacity in knowledge management of service outsourcing enterprise, uses SPSS statistical softw...
