Abstract We introduce a method to help protect against and mitigate possible consequences of major regional and global events that can disrupt a system design and manufacturing process. The method is intended to be used during the conceptual phase of system design when functional models have been developed and component solutions are being chosen. Disruptive events such as plane crashes killing many engineers from one company traveling together, disease outbreaks killing or temporarily disabling many people associated with one industrial sector who travel to the same conference regularly, geopolitical events that impose tariffs or complete cessation of trade with a country that supplies a critical component, and many other similar physical and virtual events can significantly delay or disrupt a system design process. By comparing alternative embodiment, component, and low-level functional solutions, solutions can be identified that better pass the bus factor where no one disruptive event will cause a major delay or disruption to a system design and manufacturing process. We present a simplified case study of a renewable energy generation and storage system intended for residential use to demonstrate the method. While some challenges to immediate adoption by practitioners exist, we believe the method has the potential to significantly improve system design processes so that systems are designed, manufactured, and delivered on schedule and on budget from the perspective of significant disruptive events to design and manufacturing.

Developing a proper system architecture is a critical factor for the success of the project. After the analysisphase is complete, system design begins. For an effective solution developing it is very important that it will be flexible andscalable. During the system design, its component composition and development tools are determined. The system designphase is an opportunity to maximize the speed and effectiveness of subsequent development.There are quite a lot of architectural approaches for building systems. Despite their small differences, they have much incommon. They all define ways of splitting the application into separate layers. At the same time, in each system, at least, thereis a layer containing the business logic of the application, a layer of data interaction and a layer for displaying data.The "Clean Architecture" approach has been analyzed and adapted to the communication application for mechatronicsrobot laboratory developing. This approach allows to solve all the problems while building the application architecture: itmakes the code modular, tested and easily readable, and also positively affects the quality of development.New architectural components which was introduced by Google in 2017 was considered. The analysis showed that theArchitecture Components fit well into the concept and will interact with the "Clean Architecture" approach. Dagger 2framework was applied for a complete abstraction and simplify testing. Also, it is planned to implement the RxJava library.

The paper presents a flexible and lightweight fast prototyping approach for marine crane concept design based on WebGL. The goal is to develop a user-friendly tool that facilitates the communication between designers, system engineers and customers during the early product and system design stage. In this study, we focus on the design of the mechanical parts of the crane in addition with the actuation systems, typically the hydraulic power systems. The degrees of freedom, main geometric dimensions of the crane links and joints, and the configurations of the actuators can be evaluated according to the requirements of workspace, load capacity, etc. The implementation and user interface of the designer tool are developed based on the application of WebGL. In this way, it also enables remote communications between departments in different locations over the web. The development of the parameterization and visualization tool will bring in the customer directly into the product and system design process, thus to improve the work efficacy and reduce the overall time and cost. The results from the designer tool also provide primary information and data for later design processes and simulations in the virtual prototyping environment.

The paper describes a system and technology for the automatic/interactive interpretation of color maps. Due to the fact that a completely automatic solution is impossible, a combination of automatic and interactive techniques is used. Firstly, color recognition and separation is performed. For automatic map vectorization, a special fast scheme is used. To make digitization more automatic and user-friendly, an interactive digitizing mode has been developed to extract line-based cartographic objects from vectorised data. The system has a powerful and friendly user interface that is described in the paper. The system is used successfully in the digitization of topographic and other types of map.

Three Phase Inverter

<span lang="EN-US">In recent years, the demand for energy generated by photovoltaics has increased because of the cheapness of this energy, especially in the Middle East. This study focuses on the design and implementation of a three-phase photovoltaic inverter system for distribution of generator applications. The three-phase inverter used in this study was designed using GWM 100-01X1 as a three-phase full bridge MOSFET package. The MOSFET full bridge of the three-phase inverter is driven using IR2104 gate driver IC, and the Hall sensors of the voltage and current are used to measure the AC and DC voltage and current. The SPWM signal is generated using a PIC24FJ256GB110 as a microcontroller and interfaced to the full bridge package. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the three-phase inverter design.</span>

Concurrent Engineering (CE) considers a product design and manufacturing simultaneously. The CE research has led to the product information integration. However, the current CE research focuses on smooth of the product information flow rather than a user-friendly searching process for users to obtain product information quickly. A new data retrieval system for product design and manufacturing is proposed in this paper. The system not only provides an integrated product database, but also uses Virtual Reality (VR) and Web technologies for easing navigation in product data and for accelerating access to useful information. The effective collaboration in a product design and manufacturing can be achieved through the proposed information searching method. Examples are presented in the discussion.
