Abstract The study of conformal cooling channel usually has adopted two assumptions in model design: the use of (1) a hot runner system and (2) a one-mold-one-cavity design. These assumptions substantially simplify the research. However, most molds are designed using a cold runner system and multiple cavities. These two assumptions may not apply to all commercial systems; hence, a design method for honeycomb CCCs for cold runner systems and multiple cavities is proposed in this study. Specifically, an algorithm was developed to automatically design CCCs for such systems. This algorithm can be used to reduce the cooling time, improve product quality, and ensure that the system temperature is relatively homogenous in practical situations. According to the result of this study, the honeycomb CCC models were more effective at maintaining a homogeneous temperature distribution, reducing shrinkage, and reducing warpage for both parts produced from the same two-cavity mold, thus ensuring consistent part quality.

Abstract The paper presents the concept of an innovative technological line intended for the processing of long linear profiles used in engineering steel and aluminium structures, which can be both hollow and open section profiles. The line is set up with seven main sections: profile loading system, input roller conveyor, plasma arc cutting section, circular saw cutting section, robot welding section, output roller conveyor and profile packaging system. The assumptions adopted to create the concept of the technological line were specified. A block diagram of the line and drawings showing the structure of its selected elements were depicted. The features of the technological line documenting its product and process innovativeness were indicated. The proposed technological line is built in the AGICO Group company, but it can also be successfully implemented in other companies dealing with the processing of long linear profiles.

Abstract The paper deals with the concept of centralized demand forecasting and logistical coordination in distribution networks. The aim of the paper is to relate the results provided by the forecasting tools to the basic aspects of logistical coordination. The case of 29 distribution networks in which a logistics operator (3PL) operates and provides contract logistics services to a manufacturing company is analysed. The paper partially confirms the hypothesis of better testability of forecasts based on machine learning algorithms and artificial neural networks for demand planning by the logistics operator to the manufacturer in the framework of logistics coordination in the distribution network. These algorithms perform better for networks with high specificity of flows and food networks. Traditional algorithms, on the other hand, have their better share in creating forecasts for more standard distribution networks. Additionally, the second hypothesis regarding the positive influence of modern technological solutions (such as the use of cloud technologies, EDI and flow tracking standards) was confirmed. Additionally, a number of factors that did not have a direct impact on forecasting errors were detailed.

Abstract Properties of WC-Co coatings with Al2O3 addition on the C45 mild steel surface in acidic chloride solution were examined. The WC-Co-Al2O3 coatings on steel surfaces were deposited by an electro-spark (ESD) technique. The anti-corrosion properties of the coatings were mainly investigated by electrochemical methods. Moreover, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed for the observation of the surface of materials. The structure of coatings depended on the composition of electrospark electrodes. In the WC80-Co5-Al2O315 coating, the largest corrosion resistance was shown. The corrosion rate of the specimen was approximately eight times smaller than the coating without of Al2O3 addition. The aim of the research was to obtain, by adding alumina, an improvement in the functional properties of WC-Co coatings produced by the ESD method. Due to the original features of ESD coatings, they can be used in sliding friction pairs and as anti-wear coatings on cutting tools.

Abstract Measuring the organization’s performance is essential for continuous improvement and operational excellence. Appropriate organizational measures include multiple dimensions. The relative importance of the multiple dimensions varies depending on the organization’s context and the management team’s visions. The vagueness and ambiguity in the management team’s perspective toward the dimensions and associated sub-indicators show fuzzy property. This paper aims to synthesize the overall organization performance in one aggregated index, engage the management team through index formulation, deal with ambiguity and vagueness in the management team perspective using fuzzy mathematics, and use the synthesized index in monitoring and controlling the organization’s performance to achieve operational excellence. The proposed approach is implemented in manufacturing organizations to prove practicality. The implementation of the proposed method shows a positive impact on the organization’s performance monitoring as the management team focused on one measure. Furthermore, it has engaged the management team in selecting and weighing the leading group and associated KPIs. The R programming and Minitab 19 are used in the collected data processing.

Abstract Graphitic cast irons are the most important and most widely used materials for the production of castings. Increasing requirements for the quality of these castings lead to increased demands on the control of foundry production from raw materials through technological operations to the finished product. An integral part of this control process is structural analysis, because the properties of graphitic cast irons depend mainly on their structure (on the shape, size and number of graphitic particles and on the character of a metal matrix in which graphite occurs). The paper deals with the structural analysis of graphitic cast irons using the classical black and white contrast, as well as the use of colour metallography, which enables to obtain additional information about the structure of cast iron. The article contains photographs of microstructures of graphitic cast irons, obtained using black and white etching, as well as colour etching. It deals with the advantages of colour etching compared to the use of classical black and white methods.

Abstract Multi-physical contact behaviour is important in multiple disciplines related to the automotive industry. Nowadays battery-electric vehicles' (BEV) thermal management systems deal with contact between bodies where mechanical, electric, and thermal interaction occurs. The battery thermal management itself is crucial for cell life, safety, and everyday vehicle performance. Thus, comprehensive and accurate simulation of the multi-physical contact is a vital part of vehicle development. The multi-physical contact is represented by two or more bodies under applied mechanical load and a current or heat conducted throughout the realized contact area. The amount of conducted current/heat or generated Joule heat is the function of the contact area as well as contact pressure, thus the structural simulation should be essential for such thermal management system simulations Most of the current full vehicle battery pack CFD cooling simulations simplified the multi-physical contact as ideal. Detailed contact modelling is time-consuming, hence not applicable for the full vehicle modelling. In this work, a feasible approach based on contact resistance curves was implemented. Furthermore, the work demonstrates the necessity of correct structural contact prediction for a joule heating and thermal solution.

Abstract Management of wells in the process of their construction is one of the important factors in ensuring the safety of the technological process. Blowout equipment, which includes annular preventers, is used to control the wells. This applies to the construction of oil and gas wells, or wells that provide degassing of coal seams to reduce their gas-dynamic activity. For the purpose of safe and long-term operation of annular preventers on the basis of the theory of thick-walled combined reinforced shells and the carried-out analytical research, the mathematical model for research of a stress-strain condition of a seal of an annular preventer has been offered. Taking into consideration the real design, the seal of the annular preventer is modeled by a rubber shell, reinforced in the circular direction by rubber frames, and in the longitudinal direction by metal stringers. The mathematical model provides for determining the stiffness, internal force factors and stresses in the longitudinal and transverse sections of the combined rubber-metal seal, considering the peculiarities of its operation. At the same time, the model includes the conditions of interaction of the rubber base of the seal with a pipe, as well as the action of sealing pressure under operating conditions. The use of the proposed mathematical model reduces the costs of experimental research and will contribute to ensuring the reliability of simulation modeling results. The advantage of the method is the determination of calculated loads at different points of the combined seal under the existing state of dangerous zones and the influence of operating conditions. In the meantime, prerequisites have been created for expanding the possibilities of simulation modeling and designing structural elements of annular preventers with increased operational characteristics. The practical value of the obtained results is determined by the possibility of using them to ensure the performance of the rubber-metal seal both at the stage of its design and during the operation.

Abstract Appropriate logistics planning is a key factor influencing the quality and efficiency of processes in manufacturing companies. Logistics planning can be defined as the process of making significant decisions (concerning both logistics processes and resources) for the functioning of an organization. It is a process consisting of stages in which important decisions are made regarding the optimization of all activities of the company, including in the field of: production, supply, sales, distribution, transport. The main goal of logistics activities is to minimize the operating costs incurred, as well as to better manage human resources. The main aim of the article is to present the legitimacy of using selected simulation software as an actual tool in making logistic decisions in the field of order picking system (OPS) based on a case study. For research purposes, a model was prepared in FlexSim and there were applied S-shape and Return routing methods. Based on simulation results, an analysis of the selected process was carried out. The obtained results indicate possible directions of changes and allow to make the right decision in the field of planning logistics processes.
