CyProF – Insights from a Framework for Designing Cyber-Physical Systems in Production Environments

2016

Abstract There is little experience in integrating cyber-physical systems (CPS) in production environments nowadays. A coordinated framework with reference architecture, methodology and procedural model can support the adaption of CPS by providing a pre-defined structure and guidelines. This paper describes such a framework, named CyProF, for designing CPS-based solutions in production environments. Engineers are supported by this framework in handling the complexity during the design phase. Additionally, this paper explains how the framework was used in a use case to reduce engineering efforts for a CPS-based demonstrator.

Systems Engineering approach in support to the breeding blanket design

2019

Abstract Nowadays the Systems Engineering (SE) methodology is applied in several fields of engineering and it represents a powerful interdisciplinary means to enable the realisation of complex systems taking into account the customer and Stakeholder´s needs. Also in the fusion community, this theme is becoming increasingly pressing and the implementation of the SE approach, from the early stage of design, is now a must. Indeed, within the framework of EUROfusion activities, SE method has been selected for capturing the system and interface requirements and for their management and verification with particular focus to the Breeding Blanket (BB) System of the European Demonstration Fusion Pow…

Semantic oriented data structuration for MABS Application to BIM

2013

International audience; This paper presents a multiagent-based simulation approach to qualify the usage of buildings from the design phase. Our approach combines ontology and evolution process based on machine learning algorithms. The ontology relies on semantic data structures for the representation of environment components, agent knowledge and all data generated during the simulation.

THE PERFORATED BUILDING’S ENVELOPE: GUIDING THE EARLY DESIGN PHASES

In passato gli involucri edilizi perforati sono stati talvolta ricondotti ad alcuni elementi architettonici tradizionali (come, ad esempio, la ‘Mashrabiyya’), in cui gli elementi forati acquisiscono quasi significati archetipici, nell’assumere ruoli tecnologici e ambientali che rispecchiano i valori della comunità, le condizioni socio-economiche e le esigenze ambientali degli occupanti. Oggi, invece, l’involucro edilizio perforato costituisce una tendenza architettonica che ha iniziato a manifestarsi a livello globale all’inizio del nuovo millennio, alla quale ha contribuito l’emergere della tecnologia digitale con i suoi effetti sull’innovazione di tecniche, materiali, realizzazioni, prest…

Continuous Improvement on Detailed Design Phase : A Process Perspective

2020

The construction project being studied is a government investment related to the relocation of a biomedical institute delivering research-based knowledge and contingency support in the fields of animal health, fish health and food safety. The project covers a total of 63,000 square meters distributed over 10 buildings with a very high degree of complexity. The design alone has required 1 million hours, which relates to a client cost of about 100 million Euro. The purpose of this paper is to study the applied methodology for managing the detailed design to identify lessons learned from the project. The theory underlying the study is inspired by lean design management and design theory linked…
