  1. 1. Hunting Hotspots - A framework to assess the effectiveness of using environmentally extended input-output models as a method to identify CO2-eq hotspots in the upstream supply chain of a company

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Elisa Anni Bauer; [2023]
    Keywords : GHG emissions; Effectiveness; Hotspot analysis; Environmentally Extended Input-Output; Sustainability Science; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Industry’s indirect upstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute significantly to climate change. To identify and reduce them, some companies conduct a hotspot analysis using an environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) model (often utilizing EXIOBASE database). READ MORE

  2. 2. Role Based Access Control (RBAC) in the context of Smart Grids : Implementing and Evaluating a Role Based Access Control System for Configuration Loading in a Substation from a Desktop

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Gatien Ducornaud; [2023]
    Keywords : Role Based Access Control RBAC ; Cybersecurity; Smart Grid; Substation; Desktop Applications; Contrôle d’accès basé sur les rôles RBAC ; Cybersécurité; Réseau électrique intelligent; Sous-Station; Application Desktop; Rollbaserad åtkomstkontroll RBAC ; Cybersäkerhet; Smarta nät; Transformatorstation; datorapplikation;

    Abstract : Access control is a crucial aspect of cybersecurity, and Role Based Access Control (RBAC) is a typical framework for controlling the access to specific resources. However, in the context of Smart Grids, the usual authentication solution of using a trusted identity provider might not be possible to provide authentication of a user, as systems cannot rely on external services.

  3. 3. Deep Reinforcement Learning on Social Environment Aware Navigation based on Maps

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Victor Sanchez; [2023]
    Keywords : Deep Reinforcement Learning; Environment-aware navigation; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Apprentissage par renforcement profond; Navigation consciente de l’humain; Intelligence Artificielle; Robotique; Djup Förstärkande Inlärning; Människomedveten navigering; Robotik; Artificiell Intelligens;

    Abstract : Reinforcement learning (RL) has seen a fast expansion in recent years of its successful application to a range of decision-making and complex control tasks. Moreover, deep learning offers RL the opportunity to enlarge its spectrum of complex fields. READ MORE

  4. 4. Using discrete-event simulation to enable implementation of picking and palletizing robots: A case study

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Maja Kfouri; Adan Reimers; [2023]
    Keywords : DES; Palletizer robot; Internal logistics; Goods-receipt; KPI; OEE;

    Abstract : Aim: The study aims to develop a DES model to evaluate the impacts of implementing packaging and palletizing robotics in the goods-receipts process. Research questions: RQ1: “What are the requirements when developing a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model of the goods receipt process in the internal logistics section of a manufacturing company?”, RQ2: “What is the impact of implementing a new layout with industrial palletizer robotics in manufacturing companies' internal logistics - specifically the goods receipt process in terms of robot Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), throughput, and WIP?” and, RQ3: “What considerations should companies take into account when implementing industrial palletizer robotics in their internal logistics, in terms of process flow?” Methodology: This study applied an inductive approach, letting the empirical findings guide the themes explored in the theoretical framework while having a constant interplay between empirical data collection and the construction of the simulation model.
