Environmental concern regularly leads to the study and improvement of manufacturing processes and the development of new industrial products. The purpose of this work is to optimize the amount of injected plastic and reduce the number of parts used in the production of entrance panels to control features inside the car cabin. It focuses on a particular case study, namely the control of opening and closing windows and rotation of the rear-view mirrors of a car, maintaining all of the functionality and introducing a futuristic and appealing design inline with new autonomous driving vehicles. For this purpose, distinct low-cost touch sensor technologies were evaluated and the performance of several types of sensors that were integrated with plastic polymers of distinct thickness was analyzed. Discrete sensors coupled to the plastic part were tested and integrated in the injected plastic procedure. In the former, sensitivity tests were performed for finding the maximum plastic thickness detectable by the different sensors. For the latter, experiments were carried out on the sensors subject to very high pressure and temperature inside the molds—the two most relevant characteristics of industrial plastic injection in this context—and functional results were observed later. We conclude that, by changing the way the user interacts with the car cabin, the replacement of conventional mechanical buttons—composed of dozens of parts—by a component consisting of a single plastic part that is associated with conventional low-cost electronics allows the control of a more diversified set of features, including many that are not yet usual in the interior of automobiles today, but that will eventually be required in the near future of autonomous driving, in which the user will interact less with driving and more with other people or services around her/him, namely of the multimedia type. Additionally, the economic factor was considered, namely regarding the cost of the new technology as well as its manufacturing, replacement, and subsequent recycling processes.

“…As reported by mining field technicians, adapters break at the arms. Thus, an SN is installed in each arm to monitor its integrity, bringing the total number of SNs to 18. When an adapter breaks, it could end up either buried underground, exposed on the ground, or in a hauler truck, depending on one of four possible scenarios as listed in Table 3.…”

“…RFID is a wireless technology developed for remotely and uniquely identifying tagged objects, people, or other living creatures. RFID is applied in many domains including supply chain [15], access control [16], live stock management [17], manufacturing [18], shipping [19], postal services [20], and healthcare [21]. A typical RFID system consists of a reader and a number of attachable tags.…”

A long-standing industrial problem is tackled with an industrial internet of things (IIoT) application. This thesis presents the hardware design and development of a wireless sensor network for monitoring ground engaging tools of earth processing equipment. This work addresses several challenges in the hardware design. The challenges included establishing wireless communications from within a metallic enclosure, Investigating the effect of antenna tuning on the link budget, designing a protective package for the sensor node (SN) to withstand vibrations and mechanical shocks, and creating a low-power design that allowed for a minimum battery life of one year.Furthermore, this work puts forward the design of novel application-specific sensors including a low-power ferrous-selective proximity sensor and a low-cost capacitive wear-level sensor.Hardware designs were evaluated with laboratory and field tests. The conducted tests demonstrated the SN's functionality and performance in harsh operating conditions. The journey from problem definition and to successful field testing of the complete wireless sensing solution is covered in this thesis.In addition, a novel energy-efficient approach to wireless real-time sensing is presented. For an SN transmitting samples of a discrete time-series in real-time, its DisclaimerThis work was made possible through the software developed by Galal Hassan. His work on the shovel project covered firmware development for the sensor node, software development for the sink, and setting up the back-end cloud server including the dashboard. Furthermore, Galal has contributed significantly to the success of the shovel project by developing an energy-efficient MAC protocol [1] which allowed for satisfying the life-time requirement of the sensor nodes.

The Web works as a network infrastructure connecting information sources and places for presenting this information. Internet of Things is next step of evolution of interconnection of intelligent information nodes/objects. Extrapolation of these techniques to the field of process control brings Internet of Processes to live. In this case artificial intelligence and SW agents in holonic systems are integrated as well. All stored and processed information can be presented as virtual (or augmented) reality world to the user. Virtual reality uses purpose-built artificial world, holonic systems can use different kind of virtual worlds Holonic Manufacturing/Logistic System (HMSIHLS). Virtual world acts here as a model or matrix the holons use for control of their activities.
