Digitalisierung von additiven Fertigungseinheiten/Digitalization of additive manufacturing units

Additive Fertigungstechnologien erlauben die bedarfsgerechte Produktion von individuellen Ersatzteilen. Durch Einsatz mobiler Fertigungseinheiten lässt sich mithilfe dieser Verfahren die Resilienz von isolierten Produktionsstätten erhöhen. Um auch außerfachliches Personal zur Bedienung an entlegenen Einsatzorten zu befähigen, stellen digitale Assistenzsysteme eine mögliche Lösung dar. In diesem Beitrag wird ein solches Assistenzsystem zur Begleitung der manuellen Tätigkeiten beim roboterbasierten DED-Prozess in einer mobilen Fertigungseinheit diskutiert.   Additive manufacturing technologies enable the demand-driven production of individual spare parts. By using mobile manufacturing units, these processes can be used to increase the resilience of isolated production sites. In order to enable non-specialized personnel to operate at remote locations, digital assistance systems are a feasible solution. This paper discusses such an assistance system to accompany manual operations of the robot-based DED process in a mobile manufacturing unit.

How fear of change, lack of innovation led to Nokia’s failure?

The aim of the paper to investigates the reason for business failure using Nokia as a case study. The paper applies the explanatory conclusive research design since there are cause and effect relations that seek to provide a better understanding of the reasons for the market failure. The mobile manufacturing sector is the most interesting and innovative of all in the “Information & Communications Technology” sector (ICT). Nokia was once known as the market’s dominant company, leader, and pacesetter until it underwent a tremendous market failure. The aim of this research is to shed light on Nokia’s failure in the market due to its complacency & fear of change, lack of innovation moving too slowly in terms of being too late in making decisions & inventing of the iPhone. Paper elaborately discusses and analyses the failure reasons supported by a literature review in addition to the characteristics of this industry and its market structure. Finally provide advice for business makers

A Comparative Study on Factors Affecting Consumer’s Choice on Purchasing a Cellular Phone across India & US

<p>In the hasty budding plethoric technological space, mobile technology &amp; devices play a noteworthy role. It’s imperative to take a cognizance of the fact that mobile market is contributing substantially to global economy as well as to an individual nation’s economy. Mobile devices market is predominantly consumer driven &amp; this research work emphasizes on cross national comparative study among mobile consumers across India &amp; USA. The study focuses on a thirty leading factors that influence consumers principally in their buying decision making process. An empirical survey of four hundred consumers was conducted across India &amp; USA using a questionnaire. The study reveals that ‘Price’ is the pivotal factor that an Indian consumer considers at first place whereas an American buyer stresses upon ‘Brand Name’. Furthermore, it unveils that a US consumer looks for ‘EMI options’ for buying while Indian consumers concentrates on ‘Design of the device’. This study will aid mobile manufacturing firms to frame effective marketing strategies &amp; help marketing managers to design effective marketing communications.</p>
