Design And Implementation Of A Web Based Shop Floor Control System To Maintain Schedule Feasibility In A Dynamic Job Shop Environment, Anil Bommakanti

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The effective control of production activities in dynamic job shop with predetermined resource allocation for all the jobs entering the system is a unique manufacturing environment, which exists in the manufacturing industry. In this thesis a framework for an Internet based real time shop floor control system for such a dynamic job shop environment is introduced. The system aims to maintain the schedule feasibility of all the jobs entering the manufacturing system under any circumstance. The system is capable of deciding how often the manufacturing activities should be monitored to check for control decisions that need to be taken on …

Hardware-Software Integration For Particle Light Scatter Imaging, Christophe Pierre Godefroy

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The main purpose of this research is the implementation of a software interface. This interface shall allow the interpretation of particle size in a medium with respect to its diffraction patterns. The literature shows extensive work on the theory of light scattering but the experiments are cumbersome to implement. Some initial work has required the levitation of particle to isolate the difficulties associated with a flow environment. The purpose of this work; however, will focus on the software requirements to synchronize, collect and analyze light scattering patterns.

Although there are many other ways of sizing particles, it may be useful …
