Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) has been a process of a central position in industry, especially in automotive. Quality monitoring of RSW, in particular, has been the topic of many pieces of literature, driving forward a multi-disciplinary research area. Herein, the robotized version of RSW is discussed with respect to the relationship between occurring vibrations and quality monitoring. This is a two-fold study, as firstly, the vibrations are regarded as quality predictors, and secondly, the impact of vibrations on other monitoring methods is studied. Interesting results from empirical and theoretical models are shown.
Safeguarding high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems against direct current faults is an inherently demanding task. A promising solution to tackle this challenge is the application of piezoelectrically actuated fas...

The food market poses a very dynamic and competitive landscape in the global market, facing challenges such as, increasing product variety and short life cycle of the final products, highly volatile and seasonal customer demand. Therefore, in this research work a Discrete Event Simulation model of a food industry is presented. The model simulates the operation of the factory and creates a set of performance measures, which enable the user to evaluate the operation of the food industry. A set of experiments based on the utilization of real-life data, coming from a Typical Food Industry (TFI) have been conducted in order to validate and test the developed simulation model. The simulation model will facilitate the production managers to digitize and digitalize the factory under the framework of Industry 4.0.

Process selection has been an integral part of manufacturing design and operation, with a close link to manufacturing process modeling. Throughout the years, it has been enriched with many criteria, such as energy efficiency, emissions, resources, and sustainability in general, increasing its complexity in terms of modeling and optimization. Herein, process selection is coupled with (a) the capabilities of the digital twins, (b) the criteria introduced by Industry 5.0 (I5.0) in terms of sustainability and human inclusion, and (c) the opportunities offered by key enabling technologies. A framework is presented capable to implement automated process selection and potentially scheduling through a specific set of integrated technologies, utilizing the concept of the microfactory as a basis in terms of implementation. A case study for the evaluation of two parts, using Additive Manufacturing and laser welding, in different scenarios is presented. It was concluded that the inclusion of the I5.0 criteria not only increases the well-being of the workers but also the energy and time efficiency of the production line, increasing the profit margin.

This work presents a novel and practical real-time switching control policy for the dynamic hard shoulder running lane control on motorways. Using the hard shoulder as a running lane in peak traffic periods increases the motorway capacity at bottlenecks, increasing throughput and avoiding the onset of congestion. The proposed policy enables a smooth switching on of the hard shoulder lane at peak periods. It is based on properties of the fundamental diagram of motorway traffic with easy and unambiguous interpretation and implementation by traffic operators. Simulation analysis on a 5 km-long motorway stretch with three lanes and one hard shoulder lane using the AIMSUN microscopic simulator is demonstrated. The results have showed that the proposed switching control improves the motorway throughput compared to rival control schemes.

Dear Editor,This letter develops a novel method to implement event-triggered optimal control(ETOC) for discrete-time nonlinear systems using parallel control and deep reinforcement learning(DRL), referred to as Deep-ETOC. The developed Deep-ETOC method introduces the communication cost into the performance index through parallel control, so that the developed method enables controlsystems to learn ETOC policies directly without triggering conditions.
