Possible use of RFID technology in support of construction logistics
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a relatively old technology that has gained enormous popularity in the later years, as more and more areas of business see it as a possible technology with which to improve their existing processes. It is often presented as a replacement for today’s barcodes, but the technology has much greater possibilities, such as individual serial numbers for each item, and the possibility to read these numbers at a distance of several metres. One of the areas that RFID technology may show great potential is the area construction logistics. Today, a construction site is a …
End-to-end key performance indicators in cellular networks
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The continuing growth of customers taking advantage of the available services means greater load on the cellular network. Optimization is the key to ensure that the network can provide a reasonable level of service-quality. Service providers want to examine their network and be assured that their network is performing well. Teleca Wireless Solutions is a company that does this for service providers, and an end-toend test tool could be proven useful to examine the cellular networks overall performance from an end users point of view. To ensure that one has a tool that does this in an appropriate way, …
Utvikling av system for innlesing, bearbeiding og informasjonsutveksling mellom håndholdte enheter og Logit D2D
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad LogIT Systems AS leverer løsninger for planlegging av transportoperasjoner av gods fra utgangspunkt til destinasjon. Deres produkt Logit D2D skal booke nødvendige ressurser og gi mulighet for å overvåke transporten på en oversiktelig og enkel måte. I forbindelse med dette systemet ønskes en mulighet for å registrere og rapportere gods til sentral server ved hjelp av en trådløs håndholdt enhet. Rapporten omhandler forarbeidet og utvikling av en prototyp for å dekke dette behovet. Kommunikasjon med oppdragsgiver, litteraturstudie og avgrensninger ble tidlig utført for å fastsette oppgavens mål og omfan…
Adopsjon og anvendbarhet for mobil IKT i kalibreringsprosesser ved Amersham Health AS
2003
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2003 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Gjennom Amersham konsernet er Amersham Health AS (Lindesnes fabrikker) pålagt å kvalitetssikre sine produksjonslinjer, etter krav fra det amerikanske Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Kvalitetssikringen setter krav til hvordan produksjonsprosessene utføres, kontrolleres og dokumenteres. For å imøtekomme kravene, har Amersham Health AS (AH) anskaffet en databaseløsning fra Honeywell Loveland – DocuMint. Databaseløsningen er på forhånd godkjent etter Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 21 part 11, som omhandler krav til digital signatur, lagring og sporing. AH innførte Honeywell 2020 System kalibrator (…
Radio system for reliable data transfer
2002
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2002 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad This thesis is a study of a radio system for reliable data transfer in the 433 MHz ISM frequency band. The objective was to express propagation models for two different topologies, and compare these to actual channel behavior by transmitting data in these two scenarios. In addition, different parameters relevance for the radio transmission have been looked at in order to make conclusions about the channel s and the communication system s reliability. By testing on a radio kit, this project has shown that the propagation models found are in varying accordance with the natural behavior of the channel. …
Sporing av kjøretøy med maskin-til-maskin kommunikasjon basert på GPS og GSM/GPRS
2003
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2003 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Maskin-til-maskin (M2M) kommunikasjon mellom mobile, flyttbare eller stasjonære enheter er forventet å øke eksponentielt i de kommende årene. Mulighetene for M2M kommunikasjon er mange, enheter kan bli brukt til fjernkontroll, lokalisering, overvåkning, sporing og telemetri. En flåtestyringsapplikasjon er et eksempel på M2M kommunikasjon. Den benyttes til å holde kontroll over kjøretøyene, geografisk posisjon, tidsforbruk og være kostnadsbesparelse ved å utnytte denne informasjonen mot kundene og sjåførene. Ved en eventuell nødssituasjon kan kjørekontoret varsles med en alarmmelding. I denne oppgaven…
Modules for machine-to-machine communication i GPRS : case study, medical surveillance
2001
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2001 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Machine-to-machine communication is estimated to get an exponential growth in the coming years. This will open for new ways to utilise the networks, and is foreseen to be a means to increase business. Increased efficiency and service level can be assumed, and new business opportunities are predicted, in a scenario made possible as creative people notice a technology constantly providing cheaper and smaller devices, the bandwidth increases and the charging fee per bit decreases. GSM offers ubiquitous coverage and a wide selection of bearer services, and several methods for positioning can be used. The…
Designing a collaboration application for Sense Intellifield/Technology with use of contextual design
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Sense Technology and its branch company Sense Intellifield delivers integrated automation and information systems for the oil industry, marine and other industries. Now they are working on a project called IMEX, which is a communication system for the oil industry, to ensure better ways of communication between the offshore rigs and onshore support centers. We used the method contextual design to get the needed data to design the prototype for our IMEX system. This method is based on going to the users’ work place and observing them while they are working. The data obtained here is used to create wor…
Uses and benefits of information and communication technologies in distributed learning systems
1999
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 1999 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Purpose and Methods. The paper is a presentation of my post graduate thesis at HiA. The focus of this study is Akademiet, a distributed learning system developed by Telenor Kompetanse in Grimstad, Norway. Akademiet is a web application developed for use by Telenor employees and clients who wish to take courses facilitated by the Internet. The increasing dissemination of networked computers, especially via the Internet, enables and accelerates changes in our educational system. Many reforms sought in education are exemplified and realized through this new distributed learning situation. We have gained…
A study of possible use of Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) in Abu Dhabi Sewerage Directorate
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad This report describes the possible use of RFID in a business case such as the Sewerage Directorate at Abu Dhabi Municipality & Town Planning Department. The prototype phase is developed using the ethnographic study which is called Contextual Design Methodology. RFID is not a new technology, but a technology that now widely increases its marked share by large companies recently looking at the potential of RFID implementations. It will still take several years to see if this newly found interest will lead into a RFID success story. RFID is set to replacec barcodes that are much used for pricing and/or …
