Multi-Level Route-Optimization Computer Application, Ryan Sutardji, Frank Nguyen
Multi-Level Route-Optimization Computer Application, Ryan Sutardji, Frank Nguyen
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
This report provides a detailed analysis on how to optimize driving routes by creating a computer application. There are many different route-optimization issues that logistical companies consistently face, as well as many different solutions and algorithms. With technology on the rise, pick-up, delivery, and transportation services are become a huge part of our everyday lives. When optimizing routes, reducing transportation costs by minimizing travel distance is always ideal, but other factors must be considered such as arriving at a location before or after a certain time. Our objective is to optimize driving routes based on travel distance and priorities. We …
Design Of A Custom Software Application To Monitor And Communicate Cnc Machining Process Information To Aid In Chatter Identification, Valerie Pezzullo
Design Of A Custom Software Application To Monitor And Communicate Cnc Machining Process Information To Aid In Chatter Identification, Valerie Pezzullo
All Theses
In any manufacturing environment, it is important to be able to monitor the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining process so that high quality parts can be produced in the least amount of time in order to be profitable. This involves acquiring the proper parameters needed from the machine's controller, which can prove to be difficult with proprietary machine tools that tend to limit access to the internal data collected by the controller. This closed approach to controller design also means that many technological advances that have recently become prevalent in society are not being adopted in the manufacturing industry, preventing …
Application Of Radio Frequency Identification To An Asset Checkout System, Ma'ayan K. Bennaim
Application Of Radio Frequency Identification To An Asset Checkout System, Ma'ayan K. Bennaim
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a growing technology which is increasingly utilized throughout industry. This senior project identifies an RFID alternative to the checkout system in the tool crib of the Cal Poly Aero Hanger. A new database is designed and built to interface with an RFIDeas AIR enroll reader. The system realizes vast time savings in check in times and increases student accountability for the tools which are checked out by tagging tools.
Peer Review Of Teaching Project: Tiaa-Cref Hesburgh Award Application, Paul Savory, Amy M. Goodburn, Amy Nelson Burnett
Peer Review Of Teaching Project: Tiaa-Cref Hesburgh Award Application, Paul Savory, Amy M. Goodburn, Amy Nelson Burnett
Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Reports
The TIAA-CREF Hesburgh Award recognizes exceptional faculty development programs designed to enhance undergraduate teaching and learning. This award is given each year to a program judged to have best met the three award criteria: significance of the program to higher education; appropriate program rationale; and successful results and impact on undergraduate teaching and student learning. in 2005, the Peer Review of Teaching Project at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was awarded a TIAA-CREF Theodore M. Hesburgh Award Certificate of Excellence in recognition of it being an exceptional faculty development program designed to enhance undergraduate student achievement.
Discrete-Event Simulation: Simulation Practices And Trends, Paul Savory
Discrete-Event Simulation: Simulation Practices And Trends, Paul Savory
Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Presentations
Discrete-event computer simulation is one of industry’s most used operations research techniques. Its uses range from answering questions about work-in-process and production feasibility to comparing alternative plans for system routing and scheduling. This presentation offers a brief overview of practices and trends.
An Integrated Engineering-Computation Framework For Collaborative Engineering: An Application In Project Management, Hisham Mohamed El-Sayed Abdelsalam
An Integrated Engineering-Computation Framework For Collaborative Engineering: An Application In Project Management, Hisham Mohamed El-Sayed Abdelsalam
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Today's engineering applications suffer from a severe integration problem. Engineering, the entire process, consists of a myriad of individual, often complex, tasks. Most computer tools support particular tasks in engineering, but the output of one tool is different from the others'. Thus, the users must re-enter the relevant information in the format required by another tool. Moreover, usually in the development process of a new product/process, several teams of engineers with different backgrounds/responsibilities are involved, for example mechanical engineers, cost estimators, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, and project manager. Engineers need a tool(s) to share technical and managerial information and to …
