Technology Monitoring - Applied Industrial Engineering
EIRMA (1999) working group report.
Technology monitoring is: “the identification and assessment of technological advances critical to the company’s competitive position and of detecting changes and discontinuities in existing technology; new emerging technologies with potentially significant impact on the company’s products and market and its production and business processes.”
Technology monitoring is: “the identification and assessment of technological advances critical to the company’s competitive position and of detecting changes and discontinuities in existing technology; new emerging technologies with potentially significant impact on the company’s products and market and its production and business processes.”
Industrial engineers have to specifically note, "the identification of new emerging technologies with potentially significant impact on the company’s products and market and its production and business processes.”
Industrial engineers have to do product industrial engineering, facility industrial engineering and process industrial engineering.
To identify new technologies as they are ready for commercialization, industrial engineering, a discipline and profession connected to engineering processes and activities of the organization has to do technology monitoring to protect the productivity advantage of the organization.
New Technology - Understanding, Analysis and Improvement by Industrial Engineers
Understanding the New Technology - Engineering Economic Analysis - Productivity Assessment and Improvement
"Industrial engineers design, improve, and install integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy." Key among these things we do are improvement and integration. "Industrial engineers are involved in products, processes, and services, from "hard-core" manufacturing to health care and insurance"
C. Patrick Koelling, Mario G. Beruvides, and Kriengkrai Tankoonsombut,
Computers ind. Engng VoL 31, No. 1/'2, pp. 5 - 8,1996
19th International Conference on Computers and Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineering improves productivity of production and other engineering systems through redesigning products, processes and optimizing using mathematical and statistical methods. It also uses economic analysis to identify and reject non economic engineering ideas or designs. It measures work, cost and productivity to understand the current performance of engineering systems. It redesign human work to improve productivity. It examines the productivity impact of management methods and redesigns them also. It also takes responsibility for productivity management of the organization. So whenever a new technology emerges in an organization or a potentially useful technology emerges in the environment industrial engineers have the responsibility to understand it, analyze it and improve it.
Understanding the New Technology
The is the starting point. Because industrial engineers are responsible for productivity measurement and improvement of the use of new technology in the organization, they have to begin understanding it the moment they become aware of it. They have to start reading the articles, the brochures distributed by the sellers of the technology or developers of the technology, attend seminars on technology, and utilise the opportunities to observe the technology in use etc.
Using the New Technology on Trial Basis
Engineering Economic Analysis
The next step after adequate understanding is the engineering economic analysis. Whenever a new technology appears, industrial engineers have to identify the defender technology in the organization and see whether in the economic analysis the new technology wins or the defender technology wins. If the new technology wins, they have to recommend its adoption. To do engineering economic analysis, industrial engineers have to estimate the costs and benefits of the new technology and defender technology. This forces them to go into more details of the new technology and as they complete the engineering economic analysis, they will have much better grasp of the new technology.
In case the defender technology wins, the adoption of the new technology is postponed. But industrial engineers have to monitor developments in new technology that are going to improve cost parameters of the new technology. So, industrial engineers have redo engineering economic analysis of new technology versus defender technology periodically to check and find time at which the new technology becomes economically the appropriate choice. In this exercise, industrial engineers become more and more conversant with the technology.
Productivity Assessment and Improvement
Engineering economic analysis is a strategical level analysis in the problem of technology adoption. As the technology is being implemented in the organization various problems crop up and technology implementors come out with various adhoc solutions to solve the teething problems that are more location specific. When the production bugs are sorted out and commercial production starts, the project of technology implementation is declared success and closed. Now the responsibility of running the facilities with the new technology is transferred to the operations function. Industrial engineers now have the responsibility of recording the actual processes being used by the operations people and evaluate the productivity implications of them. This particular studies can be categorised as "operations industrial engineering analysis." Operation analysis is the term used by H.B. Maynard to study the production process of a component or product. It involves the study of every resource used in the production process to identify waste, come out with an engineering idea to eliminate the waste and do the required design or arrange for the required development and design so that low cost alternatives that eliminate the waste are implemented in the process. This is the productivity improvement contribution by industrial engineers. Productivity improvement studies of a process are to be conducted periodically and also whenever IEs feel that there is a technological development that has the potential to improve productivity of a process. This makes the industrial engineering department responsible for monitoring technology developments that have productivity benefits for the organization.

Process Engineering
Process engineering is the understanding and application of the fundamental principles and laws of nature that allow humans to transform raw material and energy into products that are useful to society, at an industrial level.
By taking advantage of the driving forces of nature such as pressure, temperature and concentration gradients, as well as the law of conservation of mass, process engineers can develop methods to synthesize and purify large quantities of desired chemical products. Process engineering focuses on the design, operation, control, optimization and intensification of chemical, physical, and biological processes. Process engineering theory and methods are used in a vast range of industries, such as agriculture, automotive, biotechnical, chemical, food, material development, mining, nuclear, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and software development.

Biotechnology Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineering = Productivity - Efficiency - Cost Reduction
What is Biotechnology and What are its Benefits?
Introduction
The utilization of biological processes, organisms or systems to produce products that are anticipated to improve human lives is termed biotechnology. Broadly, this can be defined as the engineering of organisms for the purpose of human usage. It can also be defined as the skill set required for the utilization of living systems or the influencing of natural processes so as to produce products, systems or environments to help human development.
Currently biotechnology places more emphasis on the establishment of hybrid genes followed by their transfer into organisms in which some, or all, of the gene is not usually present.
Previous forms of biotechnology include the training and selective breeding of animals, the cultivation of crops and the utilization of micro-organisms to produce products such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer and wine.

Agricultural Biotechnology
1. What is Agricultural Biotechnology?
Agricultural biotechnology is a range of tools, including traditional breeding techniques, that alter living organisms, or parts of organisms, to make or modify products; improve plants or animals; or develop microorganisms for specific agricultural uses. Modern biotechnology today includes the tools of genetic engineering.
2. How is Agricultural Biotechnology being used?
Biotechnology provides farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. For example, some biotechnology crops can be engineered to tolerate specific herbicides, which make weed control simpler and more efficient. Other crops have been engineered to be resistant to specific plant diseases and insect pests, which can make pest control more reliable and effective, and/or can decrease the use of synthetic pesticides.
3. What are the benefits of Agricultural Biotechnology?
The application of biotechnology in agriculture has resulted in benefits to farmers, producers, and consumers. Biotechnology has helped to make both insect pest control and weed management safer and easier while safeguarding crops against disease.

Uniform nomenclature for long/deep drills. Drill length is specified as a function of the diameter, it is common to see the drill length called out as 15D, 20D and so on. For example, 20D means the drill can produce a hole 20 diameters deep. Therefore, a ½ "-dia., 20D drill can produce a 10 "-deep hole.

Process for drilling oil-holes in crankshafts
Abstract
A process for drilling oil holes in a crankshaft at various positions lengthwise and widthwise about a longitudinal axis of the crankshaft, where the oil holes are perpendicular to and have angled directions with regards to the longitudinal axis. The process includes the sequential steps of placing the crankshaft in a horizontal position in a crankshaft holding unit and maintaining the crankshaft in a horizontal position through the drilling process. The holding unit is then rotated on a vertical axis until the crankshaft faces the drilling unit. The crankshaft is next rotated along the longitudinal axis of the crankshaft to position the crankshaft in a position for drilling a hole. The drill tool is then moved on a second and third axis until the drill tool is situated in order to drill the hole in the crankshaft.

Industrial Engineering Using IoT
Take costs out
Driverless cars and appliances that manage energy consumption are examples consumer IoT . But the significant component of IoT initiatives will occur in the business-to-business environment. 70% of IoT applications and value creation will be in the B to B space.
In business-to-business markets, there are three ways in which a supplier can deliver value to its customers. One way is to enable the customer to sell more product, either by capturing additional market share or by expanding the end market. A second way is to enable the customer to reach a higher price point due to the improvement done in the product. IoT has applications in both of these alaternatives.
But the larger opportunity involves the third route to value creation and capture, namely initiatives that take costs out from the current cost base.
Significant amounts are spent after a company buys the new equipment. The costs involve ongoing operating costs – energy use, preventive and corrective maintenance, replacement of consumables and operator time among them. Some are related to commissioning, calibration, inspections, start-and-stop operations and changeovers related to production or customization. Some are related to regulation and record-keeping requirements.
These cost areas can be reduced through use of IoT. Contributions that take costs out are to be focused by industrial engineers.
Smart equipment initiatives that are self-funded out of savings realized in the costs that are presently spent are going to become success stories for companies that focus their investments in that direction and bring those contributions to their customers.
Enterprises have to visualize the cost savings in the complex customer chains that exist in many business markets.
It often will be the case that the opportunity to take costs out will involve a participant several stages down the customer chain, rather than the supplier’s direct customer.
In one recent case, a corporation approached the challenge of identifying IoT initiatives that made business sense by asking the question, “What data would have a game-changing impact on our business?” A brain storming team was formed and engineers and sales people collaborated in an ideation session. One idea involved offering a remote monitoring service that could manage performance and detect problems on behalf of customers, many of whom operated the equipment at hundreds of sites. Capturing a database about what was going on with the equipment just prior to instances of failure had the potential to define the improvements that could avoid such failures. Enabling the company’s equipment to provide meaningful data to drive the enterprise’s decisions on new product investments had the potential to ensure that future product development initiatives would be rewarded in the market.
IoT Success stories will come in many flavors, but most of them will require a deliberate and thoughtful approach to generate a real understanding of how to translate new streams of data into value. Focusing on opportunities to take costs out of customers’ existing cost base, on opportunities to gain a competitive data-driven advantage in markets, and on opportunities to answer the previously unanswered questions that can enable your own enterprise to make sound decisions on investments are three routes through which you can build the foundation for IoT success stories.
Industrial engineers have an important role to play in taking costs out of the production system throug huse of IoT systems in the cost of their factories, cost of supply chain and customer chain.
