Mathematical Model of Robot Melfa RV-2SDB

This article deals with the methodology of processing direct kinematics for a robotic arm. The paper describes basic matrices of direct kinematics and basic relations. A method of application and calculation of direct kinematics for industrial robot is also presented. The last part is the application of general inverse kinematics algorithm.This mathematical model is verified in the article.

Advanced analysis of manufacturing data in Excel and its Add-ins

This article focuses on the business analytics and data analysis by application of the advanced tools, technologies and methods of Business Intelligence (BI). These tools enable companies to gain competitive advantage and improve their processes. We had data from the biggest steel factory in Slovakia. In papers [1], [2] we worked with BI solutions and there was request that all reports have to be in formats supported by Microsoft Excel. In this paper, we decided to use Excel and Add-ins like Power Query, Power Pivot, Power View, Power Map, and Power BI for advanced business analysis. Sequentially with the selected Excel Add-ins and based on the available data a complete management information system has been created, capable respond to various queries.

Business rule engine for education in virtual laboratory CyberLabTrainSystem

The aim of this work is to design and build a pilot agile educational extension for a virtual laboratory, CyberLabTrainSystem. We identified and designed a virtual laboratory educational extesnsion that is based on Business Rule Engine (BRE) and Business process model and Notation (BPMN). The output is a web portal, which allows a teacher to easily implement educational methodologies, curricula and improves monitoring, controlling and interactions with students via the BRE.

Innovation of information control system for batching and packaging production line of pasta

This paper deals about reconstruction of a manufacturing line for batching and packaging pasta. We had to design and realise all infrastructure of information control system built on distributed control system. The focus of our work was to replace and upgrade the control system of this manufacturing line. We improved hardware by replacing scale sensors for tensometric sensors and control unit with new graphical supervisor panel. Then we improved scale sensor with a signal conditioner for tensometric sensors. Afterwards, control program and visualization for control system have been created. To make the production more effective, information system for collecting, storing and processing production information has been applied. System functionality has been verified in real-time conditions.
