In November  2016, as a result of a cooperation between the Computational Optical Sensing and Processing Laboratory and the Pázmány Péter Catholic University, a vision based speed measurement sensor chip has been sent to fabrication, as we reported it back then. In early March, Austria MicroSystems sent us the 44 pin sensor chips, which were produced using a 0,35 um CMOS technology. In our laboratory, we designed an FPGA based measurement environment, which performs the control and image capture aspects of the system.

The control of the key elements of transport (e.g., of vehicles and of vehicle platoons) is normally carried out in a hierarchical manner with the various elements of control targeting different layers of the hierarchy.

The RobustPlaNet EU FP7 project, coordinated by Research Laboratory on Engineering & Management Intelligence, was closed by the final meeting held in Foligno 4th September 2016, and the following industrial workshop took place in Bologna.

Within the EXCELL EU H2020 project, colleagues of our laboratory actively collaborate with the Germany-based Fraunhofer FIT (Institute for Applied Information Technology) institute in the topics of machine learning and data analytics.

Our laboratory has a long-term and fruitful partnership with the Aventics (former Bosch Rexroth) company. The factory, located in Eger (Hungary), produces pneumatic components and systems. Within the partnership our laboratory provides support to the introduction and application of advanced decision making tools in the manufacturing and logistics areas of the company.

In cooperation with Festo-AM Gyártó Ltd, simulation expert colleagues of the laboratory participated several simulation-oriented projects, aimed at analysing the production systems of the company according to various criteria. In most cases the purpose of the analysis were the early-stage evaluation of the production and logistics systems’, simulating dynamic and real production environment based on the criteria provided by the engineers of Festo.

Since autumn 2015, our laboratory cooperates with Hoya Szemüveglencse Gyártó Magyarország Ltd. within the topics of simulation analysis and „Industry 4.0”. The primary goal of the project is to model different segments of the company’s plant in Mátészalka, according to different capacity planning and process improvement criteria. Within the developments and workshops of the cooperation, the engineers of Hoya picked up the basics of simulation modelling, enabling them to use this technology in the everyday practice.

High-resolution spherical panorama pictures prepared by the eLearning Department of MTA SZTAKI for MIDMAR tourist organisation are available on Google Maps as well from now on.

The pictures has been available so far on Website of MIDMAR, in GUIDE@HAND Miskolc smart phone application and on VR glasses in Miskolc Cafe!
