Lighting the way to profitable recharging: a techno-economic analysis of workplace solar-powered electric vehicle chargers in Potchefstroom, South Africa
(SAIIE, 2024-10)The increased number of electric vehicles (EVs) in South Africa necessitates increased charging infrastructure and reliable electricity supply. Efficient electricity generation and EV charging strategies are required to ... -
South Africa's mining industry expert's opinion on technology implementation steps
(SAIIE, 2024-10)SA's mining industry is moving towards implementing Industry 4.0 technology. As a developing country, circumstances surrounding the implementation of this technology need to account for the unique circumstances of developing ... -
Utilising database management systems and statistical process control to elevate quality assurance for agricultural perishables
(SAIIE, 2024-10)Inefficiencies within agricultural packhouse operations undermine both quality assurance and profitability. However, to address the inefficiencies, the following industrial engineering tools are developed in this study: a ... -
Developing machine learning-based models for optimal maintenance scheduling within the food industry
(SAIIE, 2024-10)In the context of the food industry, precisely the company used as a case study, unplanned machine downtimes are mainly caused by ineffective maintenance scheduling that impacts organisational profit. To address this ... -
The application of optimisation techniques in cricket: a systematic literature review
(SAIIE, 2024-10)Operations research represents a scientific procedure that offers a quantitative motive for problem-solving and decision-making by characterising functional relationships as intricate mathematical models. Intuitively, the ... -
Optimising underground mine train scheduling: a mixed-integer linear programming approach
(SAIIE, 2024-10)Underground mines utilise a single-lane, bidirectional transportation network during ore extraction. Once the underground train has reached the elevator shaft, the ore is dumped into a skip and lifted to ground level for ... -
A simulation-based approach to illuminate inventory control decisions: policy identification and optimisation for stakeholder informed strategies
(SAIIE, 2024-10-16)This paper utilises a simulation-based approach to address challenges in identifying inventory control strategies for modern manufacturing companies. It follows a systematic framework, beginning with a critical analysis ... -
Location based games as the bridge between capstone students, junior students and the public
(IEEE, 2018)This paper reviews recent attempts by researchers at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) to increase the level of interaction between students, faculty and industry stakeholders by creating an alternate reality game (ARG) ... -
Aligning student and educator capstone project preferences algorithmically
(IEEE, 2018)This paper reviews recent attempts by researchers at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) to increase the level of student engagement in a final year capstone project by allowing for a greater level of autonomy in project ... -
Interactive serious games as electronic engineering capstone projects
(IEEE, 2018)Capstone projects are projects that engineering students undertake in their final year of study. The capstone project gives the student the opportunity to showcase what she has learned during her studies, and gives the ... -
Designing and developing a narrative driven serious game for teaching information theory
(IEEE, 2018)A serious game called "Codebreakers" was developed and designed for a fourth year Telecommunications module at the University of Johannesburg. The goal of the game was to assist students to prepare for tests. The game was ... -
Reflective team meetings: a learning experience for first-year engineering students in joint projects
(IEEE, 2018)The aim of this research was to report on reflective team meetings as a learning experience for first-year engineering students in joint projects. To some extent, working in joint projects is new to first-year students ... -
