This article‘s aim is presenting concepts, models, key parameters, tools allowing to help the designer or the production manager to take into account of health and safety requirements in the frame “Factory of the Future “paradigm and this in the first stage of the design process. In that case we speak of “Integrated prevention”.In fact, demand’ s variability, manufacturing system reconfiguration, digitalization, automation, human- robot interaction, introduce new working situations. More new usages introduce uncertainties to be control.
With the industry of the future, also known as "Industry 4.0", digital technology, a virtual or otherwise confluence of data, software, sensors, actuators and effectors, various networks of technologies have had to be put in place. In addition to these digital technologies, there are new technologies in robotics and business management (agility, eco-responsibility, etc.).In this context, one of the greatest challenges is to convert the employees of the industrial sector to its practices and codes. These induced changes also require that the training of young people be adapted even before they enter their professional careers. The efficiency of this training, whatever the degree level, must include close collaboration with industrial partners.
Industrial X-ray computed tomography has proven its value as a non-destructive method for inspecting light metal castings. However, tomographic volumes are prone to artifacts that can be mistaken for defects by conventional segmentation algorithms. An automatic approach has been developed with a three-step pipeline: (1) 2D segmentation of CT slices with deep neural U-Net network to detect suspicious discontinuities; (2) classification of these discontinuities into true defects or false alarms , using a trained convolutional neural network classifier; (3) localization of the validated defects in 3D.The choice of each model and training results are discussed, as well as the performances in terms of probability of detection and false alarms rate.
The DAVI company and the LISN-CNRS laboratory have designed and experimented with an Embodied Conversational Agent whose role is to accompany visitors in planning their tourist stay thanks to its task-related and social skills.Inspired by theories in social psychology and affective computing, the virtual agent adopts a more intimate verbal and non-verbal communication to reinforce the social dimension of the interaction and thus contribute to the adoption of the technology.Intimacy appears in this study as a powerful incentive for a better user experience.
The sciences of the future dominated by the integration of digital technology are transforming and modernizing modes of design, production and consumption, to the point of impacting society, health and our cities. Explore these emerging technologies and the major changes announced in images.
This article incorporates the concepts shared by the manufacturing industries and the process industries in which digital, energy and ecological transitions are profoundly changing the mode of operation and the relationship of man with work.A change is inevitable to design a new management mode and manufacturing tools that are more integrated into the classical functions of the company, closer to the customers, accepted by the Society, responding to the concept of « Sustainable Development». The company's future depends on it.
MAkAir is an open-source project for the development of a bi-branch mechanical ventilator, a class IIB medical device.MakAir is an initiative founded in March 2020 by the collective "Makers for Life", resulting from the combined initiatives of entrepreneurs, academics and health professionals, engineers; all dedicated to treat respiratory distress of type COVID-19.This disruptive innovation, developed in a time of crisis, is based on free software and open design: "Low-tech/Low-cost" because composed of biocompatible materials and standard electronic components, "High-tech" because computer-controlled.
3D printing is a vector of innovation, but is likely to undermine all intellectual property rights, and so weaken them. Its formidable growth must undoubtedly be taken primarily as a real opportunity, but like any new technology, it cannot stand outside the law, even if it causes some of the rules to change. This article analyzes these risks in terms of security and infringement of rights, and demonstrates that technical and legal solutions can be found to support the expansion of its use, provided a paradigm shift is made.
Climate change combined with the change of our habits urges us to improve building renovations instead of new buildings constructions. But one has trouble to renovate if one has trouble to overview the outcome of the renovation project, which is quite difficult when one does not even have the blueprints of his house or workspace. New technologies around 3D scans and VR may be a game changer in our way of dealing with renovation, making us more willing to renovate.
The rise of digital technologies, coupled with industrial process digitalisation and Industry 4.0 evolutions, allows introducing and using user interface based on augmented reality in order to assist stakeholders in their industrial jobs. In this context, this paper focus on different augmented reality usages and deals with its maturity, particularly for maintenance operations, assembly, logistic or design review. For that, this paper deals with augmented reality display devices and its features according to the domain usage. Lastly, questions about content authoring, integration into the information system and usage evaluation are presented.
