Abstract: Industrial engineering is a specified field of engineering that deals with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems such as of people, materials, and energy in industry. Industrial engineers use specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results obtained from systems and processes. As the present condition of the company is capable to some extent, but it is not sufficient as it looks. But it also faces some problems due to some improper arrangement like no proper storage system, proper material handling component, improper layout and improper arrangement of working tools. So to overcome these problems in the company, industrial engineering and its techniques can be used. By applying industrial engineering and its techniques there is improvement in companies existing situation and it helps to improve productivity and profit of the company. Problems identified in the company Atharva Moulds Pvt. Ltd. are storage department problem, company layout, material handling problem, 5s and safety issues. This problems are sort by using various engineering techniques such as, 5s, layout improvement, material handling, maintenance, safety, etc tools and productivity is improved. Keywords: Industrial Engineering, Productivity, Engineering Techniques,

The aim of the study is to assess the hydraulic capacity of the sewer network and sewer collector recovery in the urban catchment area of Trnava.The analysis focuses on the evaluation of situations with different precipitation frequencies. Elaboration consists of modeling the current state of the assessed sewer collector B and subsequent loading of this collector by several block rainfalls. Based on the results of the analysis, the recovery of the sewer network proposed.


Due to constant supply and demand cycles of grocery, food, dairy & other everyday products in the shopping complexes, there is no provision available for revision of existing Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to evaluate its productivity. The productivity of a shopping complex can be determined in terms of sales, utilization of material, machine and manpower, energy utilization and amount of waste utilized. The aim of this paper is to study existing SOP and plant layout in order to suggest modifications through scientific methods which will reflect in optimized productivity. This study implicates material handling processes and equipment as well. The methodology followed belongs to industrial engineering and facility planning tools and techniques. Layout redesigning is performed following the guidelines of various facility planning experts. Work study, time study is performed under observation of teaching professional and the management of the complex. The improvements emphasize on areas where occurrence of problems is more frequent and wastage amounts are very high. Knowing the fact that various factors such as infrastructure, building and capital constraints are inevitable in redesigning the total plant layout, the improvements suggested achieve increased productivity while following all regulations and limitations. This study will not only provide a betterment to the functioning od that complex, but it will provide guidelines for newly undertaken studies and projects.

Abstract Nowadays, computer networks are widely used. Besides the convenience, people also feel the pressure of network viruses and hackers. At present, in the process of fighting against network security threats, traditional defense measures have been difficult to meet. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of computer network security under cloud computing technology, and for the future of cloud computing high-quality network storage system can be gradually optimized. In this paper, from the cloud computing and network security storage system two aspects of the computer network security storage performance analysis and design; Then from the design framework, through careful design, to ensure the reliability and security of data upload, storage.

First In / First Out (FIFO) accumulating storage systems combine high-density storage with automatic material handling. A traditional FIFO storage system is a flow-through rack which uses gravity to move the pallet from the load end to the unload end. High-density storage installations require a significant difference in height between the load end and the unload end which results in a loss of available storage space. Rack configuration in terms of slope, brake configuration, and roller density is inflexible and are a function of pallet type, size, and weight. Changes in pallet characteristics cannot be easily accommodated by traditional gravity flow storage rack systems. Alternate FIFO storage systems are available that do not use gravity but rather use rollers on a horizontal reciprocating frame with directional flippers to ensure that the load indexes from the load end to the unload end. The limitations of these existing systems have prompted the development of alternative FIFO storage system. This paper details an innovative FIFO storage/handling system and the collaborative effort between a university and private industry to develop this product.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel technique for printing with multiple materials using the DLP method. Digital-light-processing (DLP) printing uses a digital projector to selectively cure a full layer of resin using a mask image. One of the challenges with DLP printing is the difficulty of incorporating multiple materials within the same part. As the part is cured within a liquid basin, resin switching introduces issues of cross-contamination and significantly increased print time.Design/methodology/approachThe material handling challenges are investigated and addressed by taking inspiration from automated storage and retrieval systems and using an active cleaning solution. The material tower is a compact design to facilitate the storage and retrieval of different materials during the printing process. A spray mechanism is used for actively cleaning excess resin from the part between material changes.FindingsChallenges encountered within the multi-material DLP technology are addressed and the experimental prototype validates the proposed solution. The system has a cleaning effectiveness of over 90 per cent in 15 s with the build area of 72 inches, in contrast to the previous work of 50 per cent cleaning effectiveness in 2 min with only 6 inches build area. The method can also hold more materials than the previous work.Originality/valueThe techniques from automated storage and retrieval system is applied to develop a storage system so that the time complexity of swapping is reduced from linear to constant. The whole system is sustainable and scalable by using a spraying mechanism. The design of the printer is modular and highly customizable, and the material waste for build materials and cleaning solution is minimized.

Secondary batteries based on ion conduction are among the most promising technology for next generation mobile and stationary storage system due to their unmatched volumetric energy density. However the multiple emerging challenges which include electrochemical stability, transport efficiency and safety issues of these secondary batteries have attracted worldwide attention. The perspective of this review is that rational design of polymeric separator which is an essential component in rechargeable batteries separating anode and cathode, and controlling number of mobile ions is crucial to overall battery performance, including lifetime, safety as well as energy and power density of battery. There is impressive progress in the exploration of separator materials. Among them, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) P(VdF-co-HFP) have received great attention as polymer host due to some its splendid collective property such as its amorphous nature, high room temperature ionic conductivity, high dielectric constant and the possibility of controlling the porosity of the materials through binary and ternary polymer/solvent systems. This review focuses specifically on recent advances in P(VdF-co-HFP) based separator cum gel polymer electrolyte with detailed analysis of several embedded functional agent that are incorporated to improve ionic conductivity, mechanical robustness and thermal stability of rechargeable batteries.
