Item Energy efficient heat treatment process design and optimisation(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2014) Mendikoa, Iñigo; Sorli, Mikel; Armijo, Alberto; García, Laura; Erausquin, Luis; Insunza, Mario; Bilbao, Jon; Friden, Hakan; Björk, Anders; Bergfors, Linus; Skema, Romualdas; Alzbutas, Robertas; Iesmantas, Tomas; RENOVABLES OFFSHORE; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; DIGITALIZACIÓN Y AUTOMATIZACIÓN DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN; Centros PRE-FUSION TECNALIA - (FORMER)Currently ICT (Information and Communication Technology) solutions are being developed for energy saving in buildings and, to some extent, for the manufacturing domain as well. This paper describes an approach and ICT tool developed for manufacturing process energy efficiency design and optimization, in particular focused on the heat treatment process of steel casting parts. Traditionally this manufacturing process is designed based on experts experience selecting a predefined temperature-time curve provided customer specifications for the resulting steel parts. However this curve can actually be optimised in terms of energy consumption while keeping required mechanical properties. This improved design is what the tool here described provides, using knowledge based approach for process design and multivariate optimisation and simulation techniques for process optimisation.Item M:VIA, smarter vehicles and roads by using new generation its concepts and IMS capabilities(2009) García, Laura; Pinart, Carolina; Lequerica, Iván; Alonso, Asier; Rodríguez, Jesús J.; González, Juan M.; Quesada, David; FACTORYThe m:Vía system combines advanced concepts of Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (ITS) with the capabilities of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to offer enhanced communications and services in vehicular environments and to hide the complexity of offering value-added services. In the vehicle, the m:Vía communication unit manages connectivity, and several user services have been implemented in the m:Vía application unit. Services make use of IMS capabilities, through an IMS client embedded in the application unit. On the road, Road Side Units offer information and extra connectivity to Internet. Results showing the advantages of the proposed system are expected from ongoing field tests.
