The procedure of automated process reliability evaluation is developed in order to prevent recurrent defects in parts manufactured by die stamping. The procedure is based on the analysis of such factors as part design, material, its mechanical and physical properties; equipment parameters, tool performance, etc. The list of reliability factors may vary according to type of operation as deformation process is different for each group of operations. The adjustment of stamping process reliability performance prevents any defects emerging during production of critical parts as early as the work preparation stage.

Background and Purpose: When stroke patients arrive to the hospital, it is imperative to have a clear picture of what occurred during transport from home, scene or other facility. The stroke team encountered difficulties in obtaining emergency medical services (EMS) run sheets in real time. We also found that these records, even when obtained, were often not scanned into the electronic medical record (EMR). Methods: We created a plan of action with our ED Stroke Champions, which involved development of an automated system to streamline the process of the run sheet scanning into EMR. In December 2019 barcode scanning devices were purchased and placed in the ED to facilitate this process. Ongoing education of the new process was conducted via email to notify our EMS partners of these changes, as well as face to face discussions whenever possible. Laminated color copies of the visual aide were posted at the central scanner location and in the EMS room in the ED. The process was that the EMS partners would:•receive the patient’s medical record number with barcode•stop at a central scanner•send the EMS run sheet directly into the EMR This process began on December 16, 2019. Three days before, another email went out to all EMS partners describing the process with a visual aide. Laminated color copies of the visual aide were posted at the central scanner location and in the EMS room in the ED. Results: In November 2019, 20 eligible ground EMS run sheets were sent to the Medical Records department for EMR scanning. After review, 13 (65%) were found scanned into the EMR. A review of January-July 2020 showed the following eligible scanned run sheets into EMR.•January 2020, 1 out of 21 (4.5%)•February 2020, 4 out of 26 (1.5%)•March 2020, 2 out of 17 (12%)•April 2020, 5 out of 15 (33%)•May 2020, 12 out of 18 (67%)•June 2020, 7 out of 7 (100%) Conclusions: With implementation of an automated process, significant improvement has been seen in obtaining and scanning run sheets. This will lead to better decision making regarding acute treatments in stroke patients.

Abstract The article considers the problem of building a multi-agent system for solving information security problems of automated process control systems. The architecture of an intelligent agent is proposed and studied, the features of which are the presence of a set of models used both for assessing the security of a certain node of the security object – an automated system, and for making decisions aimed at increasing the level of security. The results obtained in the course of research improve both the scientific and methodological apparatus for integrating methods of multi-agent technologies, and expand the areas of its practical application.

The nation-wide and global need for environmental restoration and waste remediation (ER & WR) presents significant challenges to the analytical chemistry laboratory. The expansion of ER & WR programs forces an increase in the volume of samples processed and the demand for analysis data. To handle this expanding volume, productivity must be increased. However, the need for significantly increased productivity faces a contaminant analysis process which is costly in time, labor, equipment, and safety protection. Laboratory automation offers a cost effective approach to meeting current and future contaminant analytical laboratory needs. The proposed demonstration will present a proof-of-concept automated laboratory conducting varied sample preparations. This automated process also highlights a graphical user interface that provides supervisory control and monitoring of the automated process. The demonstration provides affirming answers to the following questions about laboratory automation: • Can preparation of contaminants be successfully automated? • Can a full-scale working proof-of-concept automated laboratory be developed that is capable of preparing contaminant and hazardous chemical samples? • Can the automated processes be seamlessly integrated and controlled? • Can the automated laboratory be customized through really convertible design? • Can automated sample preparation concepts be extended to the other phases of the sample analysis process? To fully reap the benefits of automation, four human factors areas should be studied and the outputs used to increase the efficiency of laboratory automation. These areas include: 1) laboratory configuration, 2) procedures, 3) receptacles and fixtures, and 4) human-computer interface for the full automated system and complex laboratory information management systems.

The need for new cutting tool technologies is driven by the constantly increasing performance of machine tools and the rising market competition. Current research results show that an improved combination of the cutting edge macro- and microgeometry, together with an appropriate substrate and coating, leads to a significant enhancement of cutting tool performance. Furthermore, inappropriate cutting edge microgeometries cause, in addition to the higher production costs, a reduction of the tool life. Hence, it is essential to produce tailored cutting edge microgeometries with high precision and process reliability. This paper presents the influence of brushing process parameters on the size and the form of produced cutting edges of indexable inserts. This leads to a better understanding and higher quality of the cutting edge preparation process by means of abrasive brushes. Furthermore, the process reliability of 5-axes brushing is analyzed. An example of a tool life map presents the significantly enhanced tool performance through cutting edge preparation and its sensitivity towards varying the cutting edge microgeometry.

System The process of counting and storing in a manual water reservoir analysis has a high percentage of error rate compared to an automated system. In a company industry, especially in the WWT (Waste Water Treatment) section, it has several reservoir tanks as stock which are still counted manually. The ultrasonic sensor is placed at the top of the WWT tank in a hanging position. Basically, to measure the volume in a tank only variable height is always changing. So by utilizing the function of the ultrasonic sensor and also the tube volume formula, the stored AIR volume can be monitored in real time based on IoT using the Blynk application. From the sensor, height data is obtained which then the formula is processed by Arduino Wemos and then information is sent to the MySQL database server via the WIFI network.
