Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Decision-Making of Mechanical Manufacturing Process

The traditional mechanical manufacturing process is to transform all raw materials into the final materials and products and directly into the international market all the production process, in this process we involved a lot of problems about decision-making methods, decision-making process is a most basic production technology activity, it is widely exists in the whole social life and each link of enterprise production. This paper studies the decision-making method of mechanical manufacturing process based on artificial intelligence, optimizes the process parameters of plastic integrated mechanical manufacturing process, and compares it with the traditional decision-making method. Finally, the experimental results are obtained that the traditional decision-based method is reduced by more than 10% in size error. But several experiments, the AI decision-making method appeared deviation, the error results are higher than the traditional decision-making method, which may be objective factors, but also reflects the possibility of instability, in the result of deformation. AI-based decision method performance is higher than the traditional decision-making method, reduce the deformation amount by 3.5%

The way to decarbonization will be characterized by the huge production of hydrogen through sustainable routes. Thus, the basic production way is water electrolysis sustained by renewable energy sources allowing for obtaining “green hydrogen”. The present paper reviews the main available technologies for the water electrolysis finalized to the hydrogen production. We describe the fundamental of water electrolysis and the problems related to purification and/or desalinization of water before electrolysis. As a matter of fact, we describe the energy efficiency issues with particular attention to the potential application in the steel industry. The fundamental aspects related to the choice of high-temperature or low-temperature technologies are analyzed.

Increasing efficiency of honey extracting through innovative technology as exemplified by a small agricultural producer

Honey and wax production in Russia is considered a traditional branch of agriculture, which enables to produce valuable biologically active food for the population and raw materials for the industry. Many sources speak for a rapid annual decrease in the number of bees. One of the factors in reducing the number of bees is a somewhat tough way of collecting honey, in which a small percentage of the hive dies. The paper discusses the possibility of using innovative Australian FlowHive technology designed to allow honey to flow down freely. With this technology, honey is extracted without disturbing the bees as in normal extraction. The pivotal technological secret of a FlowHive beehive is durable plastic mobile honeycombs. By turning a special knob, the vertical gaps are offset by one half of a cell, allowing the honey to flow down through the cells into a channel at the base of each frame and out into a collection vessel. The paper presents a set of data for calculating the effectiveness of innovative beehives in small agricultural production. It establishes that, once applied, innovative hives not only increase profits, but also decrease costs for basic production.

Voices from the past: Reviving a rarely heard musical on a college campus

Inspired by New York City Center’s Encores! programme, we came together as a music director and stage director to develop a new college programme focused on producing rarely heard musicals. As faculty members, we select a little-known musical and research basic production history to provide a launchpad for hands-on learning for students. Our process involves examining a show’s production history, exploring the story and score in their original historical milieu, and mounting a workshop production. Given the many forgotten musical theatre pieces, this act of excavation is possible for any college musical theatre programme, including those with limited resources. In this article, we share our approach and process, connecting strategies and tactics to experiential learning, and reflect on challenges encountered and opportunities discovered during our workshop production of Richard Maltby, Jr and David Shire’s The Sap of Life, a show that spent several months Off-Broadway in 1961 and then disappeared into the composer’s closet for the next 54 years. For The Sap of Life, we seized the opportunity to offer our students the experience of working and learning directly from Maltby and Shire, who visited campus as guest artists. Our excavation process provides the opportunity for students and professors alike to learn more about how a musical is developed, written, honed and ultimately produced on the stage.

Characteristics of meat, pet, and research rabbit farms in Brazil: An overview based on twelve farms

<p>Rabbit production has great growth potential in a country where animal production is very important. However, there is little data about this industry in Southern and Southeast Brazil. The aim of this study was to describe Brazilian rabbit farms that provide meat, pets and animals for learning or research. Three pet farms, four meat farms and five research rabbit farms were visited, and the production and farm characteristics data were collected between June 2018 and March 2019. A total of 1170 rabbits and 617 cages were evaluated. Most farms had 21 to 60 (58.3%) does. Considering all farms, the farmers reported an average rate of conception of 71.8%, prolificacy rate of 6.7 kits per parturition, average interval between parturitions of 65 d and 6.3 parturitions/doe yr. The mean mortality rate for breeding rabbits was 10.4%, compared to 1.7% for growing rabbits (rabbits post-weaning until slaughter or sale). The average area of a cage was 0.43±0.1 m², with an average stocking density for growing rabbits of 3 rabbits/m². The most common cage system used by farmers was a flat-deck (66.7% of farms) system with a wire cage (91.7%). Metal (41.7%) and clay (33.3%) feeders were the most common types of feeders, and automatic nipple drinkers were present in 75% of the farms. Dirt accumulation was observed in 11.2% of the cages and 5.7% of the drinkers, but not in feeders. A total of 4.1% of the cages were considered unsafe, and 0.8% had problems with the drinkers. The farms studied ranged from small to medium in size, used an extensive reproductive rhythm and followed basic production techniques. Animal health and management aspects need to be reviewed by the farmer if the rabbit production conditions are to improve.</p>

Monitoring of the quality compliance of boiled sausages with the requirements of the national standard and legislation

It is important to remember that the most important factor in forming the adult health is the proper diet of children. Despite the growing interest in a healthy lifestyle and diet all over the world, society tends to continue buying ready-made food, the use of which is associated with saving time on cooking. In Ukraine, the traditional meat products are sausage products, in particular, sausages. Studies of the diet of modern schoolchildren show that 35% of respondents constantly consume sausages. It is important to take into account that the main circumstance for the benefit of a food product is its safety for human consumption. The purpose of this work has been to analyze the compliance of certain indicators of safety and quality of sausages of the premium grade ‘Dytiachi’, which are manufactured by various domestic producers, to the requirements of DSTU 4436: 2005 ‘Boiled sausages, frankfurters, sardellas, meat loaves. General specifications’. The results of the analysis of the labeling of sausages ‘Dytiachi’ are presented in the article. They are testifying that in accordance with demanding to paragraph 1 of article 6 of the Law of Ukraine ‘About information for consumers about food products’ the labels contain basic production and consumer information. At the same time, there is no information provided by article 23 of this law on the labels of the samples: namely the mass of saturated fat and salt. It was also found that as a labeling part of the tested samples (No. 1, 2, and 4) the manufacturers use the statement ‘Recommended for diet of preschool aged children (from 3 years) and children of school age’, which is compliance/consistent with the text of DSTU 4436:2005 ‘Boiled sausages, frankfurters, sardellas, meat loaves. General specifications’, but, contradict to articles 1 and 4 of part 4 of ‘Requirements for claims on the nutritional value of foods and claims on the health benefits of foods’. According to the results of the study of the chemical composition, it was found that in the sample No. 2 the mass fraction of table salt was 2.11 ± 0.14%, which exceeds the content regulated by the state standard by 0.11%

Analisis Perhitungan Harga Pokok Produksi dan Penentuan Harga Jual Produk (Studi Usaha Kerupuk Ikan Bunda Oca Sungai Lekop, Kecamatan Bintan Timur, Kabupaten Bintan)

This study aims to analyze and determine the cost of goods manufactured using the full costing method and the selling price using the cost plus pricing method in the Usaha Kerupuk Ikan Bunda Oca. Full costing is a method of determining production costs consisting of raw material costs, direct labor costs, variable factory overhead costs, and fixed factory overhead costs. Cost plus pricing is a method of determining the selling price of a product by accumulating total cost and desired profit. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. Data were collected by direct observation and interviews in the field so that the types of data used were primary data and secondary data obtained from literature reviews. The results show that the basic production costs per kilogram for original and otak-otak fish crackers are approximately Rp23.667,93 and Rp27.596,95 respectively. In addition, the total selling prices including 50% profit per kilogram were estimated to be Rp36.361,17 and Rp42.265,07 for original and otak-otak fish crackers respectively. Our study suggested that the calculation of cost production using full costing method and the selling price using the cost plus pricing method are more effective and accurate compared with conventional methods. This is because the calculation is carried out by considering many cost elements during the production process.Keyword: Cost of Production, Full Costing, Cost Plus Pricing.

Scientific basis of organization of ecologically safe land use

The article highlights the environmental problems of land use, its rationalization; optimal use of agricultural lands, in particular, arable lands; a modern interpretation of the content of rational use of agricultural lands. Environmental and economic aspects of this problem are considered. The information data necessary for the decision of this problem are given, namely indicators of natural-agricultural zoning, regional ecological and economic features of manufacture of the basic production of agriculture, indicators of properties and quality of soils and agrobiological requirements of the main crops to natural, primarily soil, environment, indicators of yields of these crops and data on production costs and revenues. The organization of ecologically safe land use is recommended in three stages. The first stage consists of allocating areas growing certain crops in Ukraine, that agroecological interpretation materials natural and agricultural zoning to study the environmental conditions of production agriculture. If the growing zones of certain crops have specific, inherent only in each of them, geographical areas, then it is determined where and which crops in terms of natural conditions should be located. The second stage of identifying the ecological and economic features of the production of basic agricultural products based on data on natural conditions, especially soil, is to determine the suitability of land for the area within the growing zones. The third stage of the organization of ecologically safe land use is to determine according to the data on the suitability of soils of the territory with optimal conditions for growing the crop, i.e. where the best and with the highest assessment of soils prevail. The growing zone can have at least three such agronomic regions (districts) — with the best, average, and worst conditions. In modern conditions, when prices of goods forming market relations, accounting for differences in land productivity as a productive resource becomes a necessary objective condition for the profitable and ecologically safe existence of agriculture.

Determination of the maximum number of employees of the JSC Russian Railways engaged in transportation activities when planning measures for programs to increase labor productivity

Introduction of measures aimed at increasing labor productivity should ensure an increase in the efficiency of production processes in terms of costs associated primarily with labor resources. Optimization of its number is reflected in the characteristics of the production process, and above all on its sustainability. Sustainability means the ability of a process to return to its original state despite the action of external and internal factors. Sustainability is characterized by indicators of reliability, safety and stability of the production process and is determined by a complex index indicator that includes the listed characteristics. Unreasonable recommendation and implementation of measures to increase labor productivity with the release of employees without taking into account the achieved level of sustainability can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of production, an increase in operating costs and disruption of basic production processes. In this regard, the problem arises of determining the permissible reserve for the release of employees when planning organizational and managerial measures, taking into account the sustainability of production processes associated with transportation activities.
