Predictive maintenance is one of the major drivers Industry 4.0 as it can significantly reduce costs by improving overall equipment effectiveness and extending remaining useful life production machines. Most potential lies in brownfield with old where no sensors or connectivity are available. This paper shows how these machines be enabled for predictive retrofitting low-cost sensors, an Industrial-Internet-of-Things-architecture machine learning. An industrial implementation on a heavy lift...

Meeting ecological and water quality standards in lotic ecosystems is often failed due to multiple stressors. However, disentangling stressor effects identifying relevant stressor-effect-relationships complex environmental settings remain major challenges. By combining state-of-the-art methods from ecotoxicology aquatic ecosystem analysis, we aimed here disentangle the of chemical non-chemical stressors along a longitudinal land use gradient third-order river Germany. We distinguished...

Previous algorithms for slicing, path planning or trajectory of additive manufacturing cannot be used consistently multidirectional with pure object manipulation in wire-arc manufacturing. This work presents a novel approach that directly takes robot kinematics into account and thus ensures the reachability all critical poses. In an additional step, planned segments are smoothed so joint velocity limits respected. It is shown implemented planner generates executable paths at same time...

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) with eccentric wire feed requires defined operating conditions due to the possibility of varying shapes deposited and solidified material depending on welding torch orientation. In consequence, produced component can contain significant errors because single bead geometrical are cumulatively added next layer during a building process. order minimise such inaccuracies caused by manipulation, this article illustrates concept testing object-manipulated...

Abstract Background Floodplains are biodiversity hotspots and provide numerous ecosystem services. In recent decades, however, 70–90% of Europe’s floodplains have been structurally degraded. Accordingly, many (inter-)national programs aim to restore protect floodplain ecosystems. The success such measures also depends on the chemical contamination, especially soils sediments, which serve as sinks sources for a variety pollutants. this study, we assess current ecotoxicological status...
