Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdditive Manufacturing in the Aerospace IndustryLidong Wang, Reed Mosher, Patti DuettThe main advantages of Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals in the aerospace industry are part consolidation; the reduction of lead time, the construction of complicated structures easily with a great Strength-to-Weight (S:W) ratio; production of parts on-demand with reduced inventory, uncertainty and the costs of supply chains. Ti6Al4V and nickel-based alloys are commonly used AM materials for aerospace parts. Ground-based … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2024 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeveraging Artificial Intelligence and Other 4IR Technologies for Driving Education 4.0 in South Africa: A Scoping StudyEmmanuel Adetiba et al.The advent of the fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has impacted human life across many disciplines including healthcare, agriculture, telecommunication, manufacturing, education etc. It is characterized by cyber physical systems thus enabling automation of processes, in which devices can autonomously communicate. Some of the technologies that drive 4IR include Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data, drone technology, robotics … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 7 · 9 Jul 2026 · 1,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomating a Festo Manufacturing Machine with an Allen-Bradley PLCPraneel Chand, Joven SepulvedaIndustry equipment such as machinery utilising Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) become outdated and obsolete over time. Support for older machines and controllers becomes limited and they become incompatible with new computer operating systems. In the end, they are no longer used by industry. However, obsolete machines can be refurbished and used for teaching or demonstration purposes. Hence, this study presents … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2021 · 7,047 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractTopological Approaches to Mechatronic Systems: A ReviewJean Bosco Samon, Damasse Harold TchouazongAn interest in the mechanical topology approach is to reduce the mass considerably in order to minimize the costs of manufacturing, transporting and purchasing products. The same interest can be found in mechatronic topological approaches where many disciplines should be fit together, facing therefore many and variant constraints. Distinguish topological approaches are found in the literature. Many are more specific … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2022 · 6,707 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechatronic Systems to the Braking MechanismsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuWith the evolution of technology, the construction and geometry of the piston, together with the materials from which it is made, as well as the related manufacturing technologies, have been continuously improved. Thus, modern engines have become less polluting, working at higher temperatures and pressures. Body aerodynamics have been improved, leading to lower resistance forces from the air. Also, the … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2020 · 6,954 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comprehensive Survey on Applications, Challenges, Threats and Solutions in IoT Environment and ArchitectureSadia Waheed, Savera Hanif, Rubab Hafeez et al.The influence of the Internet of Things (IoT) on how people live, interact and conduct business has rapidly increased. Integrating physical objects with electronic networking, or the Internet of Things (IoT), allows for better communication and environment detection. In coming years, higher service levels will be offered by IoT-based technologies, remarkably changing how people would conduct their daily lives. Currently, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 30 Jan 2024 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
