“New” Subjects In Mechatronics Management Education, Peter Kopacek

International Journal of Business and Technology

Process – and manufacturing automation as well as robotics are currently one of the fast growing fields in automation. Advanced process control, cyber-physical systems, industry 4.0 and “advanced robots” are no longer a headline. They are in realization. As a consequence of these developments new social, ethical and human questions appear.

Therefore this contribution is a first report about the continuous “modernization” of the Mechatronics Management BSc and MSc programs which are successful running at UBT. Both programs were developed in the framework of two TEMPUS projects from an international consortium from 2006 to 2009. Since that time new “buzzwords” …

Optimal Control Of Dc Motors Using Pso Algorithm For Tuning Pid Controller, Arnisa Myrtellari, Petrika Marango, Margarita Gjonaj

International Journal of Business and Technology

The DC motors are widely used in the mechanisms that require control of speed. Different speed can be obtained by changing the field voltage and the armature voltage. The classic PID controllers are widely used in industrial process for speed control. But they aren’t suitable for high performance cases, because of the low robustness of PID controller. So many researchers have been studying various new control techniques in order to improve the system performance and tuning PID controllers. This paper presents particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for determining the optimal PID controller parameters to find the optimal parameters of DC …

The Importance Of Cad/Cae Systems In Development Of Product Design And Process Of Optimization, Fatmir Azemi, Xhemajl Mehmeti, Bekim Maloku

UBT International Conference

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) are the most important technology tools that today designers are using in development of product (design and in process of optimization). Thus, this study is carried out to present the importance of CAD/CAE system on process of design and process of optimization of spur gear. The paper presents the usage of CAD system for modeling parts and CAE software for analysis of stress-strain of spur gear and the results of calculation of pair spur-gears that it used in the gearbox transmission of the bucket wheel excavator located in “Bardhi i Madh …

Cloud Oriented Additive Technology Use For Fast Prototype Development, Betim Shabani, Vladimir Dukovski

UBT International Conference

Digitalization has already affected every segment of the industry and especially manufacturing. Based on market requires that are more specific and faster than ever, there is a need to use some of the online platform packages called Cloud Manufacturing (CM). CM operate through the digital data then here comes the expression CAD models or in particular STL files that are currently adequate for Additive Technologies (AT). On the other hand, there is a rapid increase in the measurement aspects via non-contact forms (3D scanners) where their data are stored in various digital formats: IGES, OBJ, PLY, etc.). Those formats can …

Designing A Controller Via Simulated Annealing, Zemerart Asani, Selvet Rexhepi

UBT International Conference

With Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers being widely used in industry for optimum solutions. Optimization of the PID controller is an important problem in Control Engineering. Therefore, in this paper work we have implemented Simulated Annealing to tune the controller parameters. Optimizing the controller parameters on the basis of the Simulated Annealing algorithm, based on criteria defined using an objective function, allows us to find optimal solutions for the controller parameters that give us minimum error. In terms of performance, the PID controller designed with Simulated Annealing gives us great results with regard to the rise time, settling time, overshoot and steady-state …
