AbstractThe assembly of cables in industrial production is still a largely manually performed task. Therefore, automatic cable assembly offers much potential in terms of efficiency. The major challenge of automating this task lies in the formlessness of the cables, which entails unknown and inconstant states of the assembly objects. In this paper, a process chain and a concept are presented for the automated cable assembly in an industrial context. The process chain consists of five process steps, which are used to structure existing approaches and system configurations for automated cable assembly from a production technology perspective. The emphasis is on the coverage of the process steps and the system technology. The presented concept represents an approach for robotic cable assembly focusing on the flexibility to process multiple product variants. Basis for the ability to handle a variety of variants is the avoidance of a forced shape on the cables. For this approach, system technology as well as challenges and possible solutions are presented.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to provide for the research community as well as for the practitioners measures that enable the evaluation, categorization and comparison of vendor managed inventory (VMI) systems.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, a framework is developed for characterizing the design of VMI systems based on a review of prior research and an empirical investigation of industry‐to‐industry VMI relationships in Sweden.FindingsThe proposed framework incorporates the main characteristics of VMI systems and serves as a tool for profiling VMI system designs and for facilitating the comparison and analysis of different VMI system configurations.Research limitations/implicationsThe Swedish industrial context in which the framework was tested should be taken into consideration when generalizing upon the findings.Practical implicationsVMI systems come in various shapes and setups, as a result of which the challenges related to their operation and management may differ significantly. This study addresses the issue by providing practitioners with a tool that helps them in the design and management of VMI systems.Originality/valueWhile categorizations and measures for the VMI systems exist in prior research, this study contributes by synthesizing the existing measures and testing them in empirical setting. The study contributes particularly to the research on VMI systems but also more broadly to the supply chain management research.

Bei unreifen Produktionstechnologien, wie der Batterieproduktion für elektromobile Anwendungen, ist eine geeignete Integration von Mess- und Prüftechnik in die Prozesskette von großer Relevanz. Der Fachartikel stellt einen Ansatz zur Planung der Prüfmittelallokation in einer Prozesskette vor. Die Methodik beruht auf der Kombination von Simulations- und Optimierungsverfahren.   For immature production technologies like automotive battery production suitable integration of measuring and testing technology into the process chain is essential. In this article an approach for the planning of the allocation of testing equipment into a process chain is presented. The method is based on the combination of simulation and optimization techniques.

This paper sets out the properties and the results of the testing of new antiozonants 2PPD and 3PPD in place of standard and imported 6PPD and IPPD which are used in the production of mechanical rubber goods and tyres (in the sidewall, tread, and other elements). The proposed method for producing the new antiozonants makes it possible to organise their industrial production by low-cost technology, in contrast to 6PPD and IPPD production technology. The raw materials for the new antiozonants include ethylene and propylene glycols, available in Russia, and 4-aminodiphenylamine, imported for the production in Russia of antioxidant S789, which is widely used in the production of large-tonnage rubbers, in particular synthetic isoprene rubber SKI-3, over 70% of the volume of which is exported. A number of advantages of 3PPD over imported stabilisers have been established. These include a greater effectiveness in protecting rubber compounds against thermal oxidation and ozone cracking by comparison with the stabilisers it is replacing. The shortcomings of the new antiozonant (in terms of the form in which it is produced and in terms of its influence on the vulcanisation kinetics) are considered, and various ways to overcome these shortcomings are presented.

На салатных линиях проведено испытание новых сортов листового салата селекции агрохолдинга «Поиск»: Задор, Восторг, Поиск Ст 16. Результаты подтвердили их пригодность для промышленных технологий производства салата. Наиболее перспективен сорт Поиск Ст 16. При испытании в тепличном комбинате «Горьковский» (г. Нижний Новгород) в 2017 году на тридцать восьмые сутки он сформировал листовую розетку высотой 38 см, массой 241 г. Листовая пластинка насыщенно зеленого цвета, листья розетки расположены близко друг к другу и образуют очень плотную розетку, а не разваливающийся куст.On the lettuce technological lines the new cultivars of lettuce bred at Poisk Agro holding were tested: Zador, Vostorg, Poisk St 16. The results confirmed their suitability for industrial production technology of lettuce. The most promising cultivar is Poisk St 16. When tested in greenhouse Gorky complex (Nizhny Novgorod) in 2017, at the thirty-eighth day he formed a leaf rosette height 38 cm, weight 241 g. Leaf blade deep green, the leaves of the rosette are placed close to each other and form a very dense rosette, not the crumbling hive.
