Cognitive Factors Affecting the Manufacturing Optimization Skills of Rural Indian BPO Workers (2023)
Journal Article
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., & Upadhyay, C. K. (2023). Cognitive Factors Affecting the Manufacturing Optimization Skills of Rural Indian BPO Workers. Knowledge, 3(4), 626-641. https://doi.org/10.3390/knowledge3040039

Crowdsourcing offers on-demand access to large numbers of human workers to implement new forms of human–computer collaborative functionalities that can be seamlessly integrated into advanced software and algorithms. However, crowdsourcing tasks are p... Read More about Cognitive Factors Affecting the Manufacturing Optimization Skills of Rural Indian BPO Workers.

Experiences of Design for Disability in Collaborating with Students and Industries (2023)
Book Chapter
Harris, N., & Vasantha, G. Experiences of Design for Disability in Collaborating with Students and Industries. In Future of Design Education: InFuSED23. Springer

This chapter looks at the design and engineering of products to assist people with disability. It looks at the process that companies, disability organisations and universities employ to help develop aids and products that solve various needs. Althou...

A Knowledge Graph Approach for State-of-the-Art Implementation of Industrial Factory Movement Tracking System (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Aslan, A., Hanson, J., El-Raoui, H., Corney, J., & Quigley, J. (2023, June). A Knowledge Graph Approach for State-of-the-Art Implementation of Industrial Factory Movement Tracking System. Presented at International Conference on Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing, Porto, Portugal

Digital sensing technologies are essential for realizing Industry 4.0, as they enhance productivity, assist with real-time decision-making, and provide flexibility and agility in manufacturing factories. However, implementing these technologies can b... Read More about A Knowledge Graph Approach for State-of-the-Art Implementation of Industrial Factory Movement Tracking System.

Movement Tracking-Based In-Situ Monitoring System for Additive Manufacturing (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Aslan, A., Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Thomas, S. (2023, June). Movement Tracking-Based In-Situ Monitoring System for Additive Manufacturing. Presented at FAIM 2023: Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing: Establishing Bridges for More Sustainable Manufacturing Systems, Porto, Portugal

Monitoring and identification of defects during additive manufacturing is mostly done by bespoke optical or acoustic measurement systems. These in-situ monitoring technologies are either intrusive or sensitive to noisy manufacturing environments. We...

Data-driven Discovery of Manufacturing Processes and Performance from Worker Localisation (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aslan, A., El-Raoui, H., Hanson, J., Vasantha, G., Quigley, J., & Corney, J. (2023, June). Data-driven Discovery of Manufacturing Processes and Performance from Worker Localisation. Presented at 32nd International Conference on Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing (FAIM 2023), Porto, Portugal

In complex manufacturing industries that are not fully automated and involve human workers it is important to identify deviations from the planned production schedule and locate bottlenecks for improved efficiency. This is not an easy task as it requ... Read More about Data-driven Discovery of Manufacturing Processes and Performance from Worker Localisation.

Agent based simulation of workers’ behaviours around hazard areas in manufacturing sites (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
El Raoui, H., Quigley, J., Aslan, A., Vasantha, G., Hanson, J., Corney, J., & Sherlock, A. (2023, March). Agent based simulation of workers’ behaviours around hazard areas in manufacturing sites. Presented at The Operational Research Society Simulation Workshop 2023 (SW23), Southampton, UK

Rewards for risk taking behaviour by workers (if accidents do not occur) can be realised in the form of increased productivity or worker idle time. However, frequent unsafe behaviours of workers inevitably
results in accidents and an associated loss... Read More about Agent based simulation of workers’ behaviours around hazard areas in manufacturing sites.
