  1. 16. Reaching for Automated Stacking - A Preliminary Study on Automation of a Reach Stacker

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Felix Grunert; [2016]
    Keywords : Reach stacker — Automation — Concept development — Simulink simulation — Simscape modelling— SimMechanics — SimHydraulics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This is the report for a master thesis work which concerns the challenge of automating a reach stacker. A reach stacker is a vehicle that lifts and moves containers. This report should be seen as a preliminary study which handles automation concepts, simulations and sensors. READ MORE

  3. 17. Uncovering Hidden Needs in Ground Engineering : Case Study of LKAB Wassara

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : IGOR KORDAS; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Detta examensarbete utgick både från behovet av bättre förståelse för grundläggningsmarknaden av LKAB Wassara – ett innovativt företag som har utvecklat den nya tekniken av hydraulisk DTH-borrning; och från insikten att åstadkommande av kundnöjdhet genom uppfyllandet av dolda behov i byggbranschen är en lovande men samtidigt utmanande uppgift. Utmaningen som behandlas i detta examensarbete är tvåfaldig: dels leder de konventionella marknadsundersöknings metoder ofta till att de dolda kundbehoven inte erhålls, trots att dessa behov är mycket viktiga för produktinnovation; och dels är det en brist på fallstudier som utforskar de explicita eller dolda behoven i byggbranschen.

  5. 19. Uncovering Hidden Needs in Ground Engineering: Case Study of LKAB Wassara

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Igor Kordas; [2016]
    Keywords : Hidden needs; customer satisfaction; ground engineering; Outtalade behov; kundnöjdhet; grundläggnning;

    Abstract : This thesis stemmed from the need for better understanding of the ground engineering market by LKAB Wassara - an innovative company that developed a novel technology of hydraulic DTH-drilling; and from the insight that achieving customer satisfaction through fulfilment of hidden needs in the construction industry is a promising yet challenging endeavour.  The challenge addressed in this thesis is twofold: firstly, the conventional market studies often lead to the hidden customer needs being lost, while these needs are important for product innovation; and secondly, there is a lack of case studies exploring the explicit or hidden needs in the construction business that might be partially explained by complexity of interrelations of products, services and stakeholders inherited to the construction market.

  6. 20. An Alternative Variable Valve Timing System for Heavy Duty Vehicles

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Mikael Eriksson; Daniel Olovsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Variable; Valve Timing; VVT; Cam phaser; Heavy Duty; Scania; Commercial Vehicles; GT-SUITE; Dynamic; On off valve; Product Development; Machine Element;

    Abstract : The ability to control engine valve timing has the potential to alter the engine performance over the entire operating range. The outcome of valve timing technology enables the possibility to increase efficiency, lowering emissions, increase engine torque, etc. One of the simplest ways to obtain a variable valve timing is to use cam phasers.
