Čustović, I. (author), Cao, Jianpeng (author), Hall, Daniel M. (author)More widespread use of industrialized construction (IC) is hampered by the high capital cost of advanced production facilities paired with low profit margins. A novel service-oriented cloud manufacturing (CMfg) model could in theory increase utilization and profitability of distributed production facilities. However, little research has...journal article 2023

Lechelt, Susan (author), Duffy, Clare (author), Morgan, E. (author), Murray-Rust, D.S. (author), Nissen, Bettina (author)In this case study, we document the process of engaging in an initially unplanned and informal knowledge exchange activity between academic researchers and a local performing arts company. This knowledge exchange activity quickly became a fruitful collaboration during which an academic design research prototype was reimagined as a wholly new...conference paper 2023

Totlani, K. (author), van Tatenhove-Pel, R.J. (author), Kreutzer, M.T. (author), van Gulik, W.M. (author), van Steijn, V. (author)It is common practice in the development of bioprocesses to genetically modify a microorganism and study a large number of resulting mutants in order to select the ones that perform best for use at the industrial scale. At industrial scale, strict nutrient-controlled growth conditions are imposed to control the metabolic activity and growth...review 2023

Hanes-Gadd, Merryn (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Charnley, Fiona (author)Circular Design, as a practice and approach, has grown in popularity in the last decade, with academics and industry alike proposing many strategies and methods that facilitate this in products. Yet, very few day-to-day products are actually circular. Therefore, in this chapter, we sought to analyse and reflect upon what progress Circular...book chapter 2023

Sileryte, R. (author), Wandl, Alex (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)With circular economy being high on governmental agendas, there is an increasing request from governing bodies for circularity measurements. Yet, currently existing macro-level monitoring frameworks are widely criticized for not being able to inform the decision-making. The criticism includes, among others, a lack of consensus on...journal article 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author), Yuan, S. (author), Chen, Chao (author)Domino accidents are typical low-frequency and high-consequence events in chemical process industries. Applying quantitative risk assessment (QRA) in domino accident assessment is challenging due to the uncertainties in the escalation process. Meanwhile, the outcomes of QRA are subject to a certain degree of unreliability due to the...journal article 2023

Lessons Learned from Designing and Evaluating CLAICA: A Continuously Learning AI Cognitive AssistantKernan Freire, S. (author), Niforatos, E. (author), Wang, C.W. (author), Ruiz Arenas, S. (author), Foosherian, Mina (author), Wellsandt, Stefan (author), Bozzon, A. (author)Learning to operate a complex system, such as an agile production line, can be a daunting task. The high variability in products and frequent reconfigurations make it difficult to keep documentation up-to-date and share new knowledge amongst factory workers. We introduce CLAICA, a Continuously Learning AI Cognitive Assistant that supports...conference paper 2023

Fazi, S. (author), Choudhary, Sourabh Kumar (author), Dong, Jing Xin (author)We study a typical daily drayage problem concerning the last-mile logistics at seaports for inland container supply chains. A set of trucks available at an inland container terminal must fulfil shippers’ requests of transporting containers within time windows and, to do so, can perform multiple daily trips. A request may entail picking up or...journal article 2023
