In recent years, many companies want to keep track of personnel, sources and working machines due to various reasons. This is sometimes achieved for security purposes and sometimes for coordination and performance purposes. The purpose and requirements are the main factors that determine the shape of tracking. Such developed systems for this purpose have different technologies according to their requirements. The real-time tracking can be determined with high precision in open areas with the global positioning system (GPS). However, previous research and developments for indoor tracking have mostly focused on infrared, wireless LAN and ultrasonic. In this study, the infrastructure of the system was designed by using RFID technology. The use of open source Geographical Information Systems (GIS) as a substructure also provided spatial display and analysis possibilities for this study. The open source t database is also integrated into this system. The tracking algorithm is completely unique and original and is encoded in the Java programming language. In the algorithm, the accuracy of locating the proximity, direction and whether the RFID reader is on the right and left of the last point received is increased. The methodology used was tested in an underground salt mine and proved to study successfully.

Machine scheduling with preventive maintenances
Batun, Sakine; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
In manufacturing environments, machines are usually subject to down periods due to various reasons such as preventive maintenance activities, pre-accepted jobs and pre-known material shortages. Among these reasons, preventive maintenance, which is defined as the pre-planned maintenance activities to keep the machine in its operating state, has gained much more importance in recent years. In this thesis, we consider the single machine total flow time problem where the jobs are non-resumable and the machine i...
Clock synchronization algorithms on a software defined can controller: implementation and evaluation
Yalçın, Serkan; Werner Schmidt, Klaus.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
Many advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle applications require coordination for their safety-critical tasks. To achieve such a coordination, different electronic control units (ECUs) in the system should synchronize their clocks in order to share a global time. Although the controller area network (CAN) is the most widely used communication bus for the information exchange among ECUs, it does not support the required clock synchronization. Moreover, even several advanced clock synchroniz...
Reliability analysis for two draglines in Tunçbilek lignite mine
Tuncay, Deniz; Demirel, Nuray; Department of Mining Engineering (2014)
In modern mining activities, high-capacity complex machines are used and their availability plays a big role on the mine productivity. Draglines are one of the high capacity mining machines which result in decrease in production in case of failure or unavailability. This study aims to determine the effects of different components of two draglines (PAGE 736 and MARION 7820) to their availability and operability by choosing adequate reliability models and conducting fault tree analyses. Reliability analysis w...
Energy Minimizing Order Picker Forklift Routing Problem
Atashi Khoei, Arsham; Süral, Haldun; Tural, Mustafa Kemal (2022-07-03)
The material handling systems used in warehouses involve important operations such as the usage of order picker forklifts. The order picker forklifts provide efficient utilization of the storage space by their ability in moving in narrow aisles and picking items from high racks. Routing the order picker forklifts to pick ordered items belongs to operational decision level done in high frequency. Therefore, finding energy-efficient routes for order picker forklifts can yield significant savings in energy con...
