Most of the interfaces which are designed to control or program industrial robots are complex and require special training for the user and the programmer. This complexity alongside the changing environment of small medium enterprises (SMEs) has lead to absence of robots from SMEs. The costs of (re)programming the robots and (re)training the robot users exceed initial costs of installation and ...

Abstrac tAn integration in a framework of e-diagnostic and e-maintenance components based on web-services has been developed for industrial monitoring systems. The aim is to perform tele-monitoring, diagnostic and maintenance tasks for industrial monitoring systems working in dynamic conditions of commitments, suppliers, and customers.

rapid population increase, expanding urbanization, lack of employment opportunities, particularly in agriculture, population pressure on natural resources and failing to create and expand medium and large industries, especially in developing countries led industrialization strategy that these countries from the mid-decade villages 1970 in their development programs to consider. this year emphas...

Both economic theory and modern economic history show that productivity growth in non-agricultural sectors has consistently outweighed that of the agricultural sector. Thus, as development progresses, employment, which had been centered around the agricultural sector, becomes more and more dependent on the industrial and services sectors. This relationship between economic growth, and the move ...

To improve the efficiency of industrial automation systems, many operators are considering the possibility of IP upgrades to provide centralised control/management and remote monitoring. When migrating to converged IP-based networks, acquiring an Ethernet communication framework will be necessary to provide higher bandwidths and longer transmission distances, which can require the installation ...

One of the open source software tool kit is EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) developed and maintained by Argonne National laboratory, US and is in use worldwide. It maintains the server client distributed control system. Communication between server and client are done through a named piece of data called Process Variable (PV). There may be many client and many servers...

nowadays, with population growth in urban areas, providing safe water and health is considered basic needs of human, alongside the various pollutants due to urban activities, agriculture and industrial areas on adjacent ranges into urban water resources around the environment is such that study necessary to prevent the pollution of water resources and identification of pollution sources shows. ...
