1) Switching to new CNC software has helped Springfield Marine increase machining productivity and reduce programming time. The new software automatically generates more efficient toolpaths that allow for higher feed rates.
2) The new software automatically recognizes features in solid models, eliminating the need for manual rework. It also stores machining operations that can be quickly applied, reducing programming time by two-thirds on average.
3) For a sandcast aluminum seat swivel part, the software helped increase the roughing feed rate from 75 to 200 inches per minute and reduced programming time from several days to a few hours.

1) Frequent faults with the Properzi casting wheel flange such as broken or loose bolts, jerking wheels, and misaligned wheels were causing stoppages and downtime at the DUBAL aluminum plant.
2) An analysis found that weak bolts were the root cause, so additional and modified bolts were installed.
3) This solved the flange issues, eliminating downtime and increasing machine availability with zero faults since the improvement in 2010. Savings of 472k AED were projected from not buying a new flange.

Murtuza Steel Company deals in cutting, grinding, welding and smoothing of metal sheets. It currently uses a lump sum costing method where total costs are not allocated to different products. This makes it difficult to determine the profitability of individual jobs. The proposed costing system would use activity-based batch costing to trace actual costs to 3 sample products. This would help identify the most profitable products and optimize order booking. It would allocate overheads based on machine hours and materials used for more accurate costing and profitability analysis of each product.

The document discusses a new machining process called Turbo-Abrasive Machining (TAM) that can rapidly deburr and finish the edges of large aerospace components like turbine disks. TAM uses abrasive fluidized beds to reduce deburring times from hours to minutes. Testing found TAM improved the fatigue life and limits of disks, allowing them to operate longer before cracking. TAM also creates isotropic, compressive stressed surfaces that enhance component performance and lifespan. The process has been adopted by jet engine manufacturers and improved hardware life by 50% in testing.
1) The document describes a proposed design for a free-standing wing mast for a recreational catboat made of composite materials.
2) A free-standing wing mast would have no columns and instead use wing-like structures, providing more room on board and easier maintenance than traditional masted designs.
3) Finite element modeling was used to optimize the mast design, testing different cross-sections, materials, and layups to minimize weight while maintaining strength.
4) The design process showed that a free-standing composite wing mast could be cheaper to produce than traditional designs using vacuum bagging and lower-temperature curing, though a physical prototype is still needed to validate the manufacturing process and structural models.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.
How to Add Chatter in the odoo 17 ERP ModuleCeline George
In Odoo, the chatter is like a chat tool that helps you work together on records. You can leave notes and track things, making it easier to talk with your team and partners. Inside chatter, all communication history, activity, and changes will be displayed.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!
