Data were collected from corporate websites during the initial analysis period (dates shown below). A draft sector report was then made available online and letters were sent to all companies inviting them to review the analysis, to identify anything missed by our analysts, and to post additional material on their websites if they wished to improve their scores. Analysis Period: 2/3/2011through 6/11/2011 Draft sector report available for review: 10/22/2011through 11/25/2011 www.roberts.cmc.edu 3 Capital Goods: Industrial & Farm Equipment Sector 2012 The Pacific Sustainability Index (PSI) Overview the PSI Scoring System The Pacific Sustainability Index (PSI) uses two systematic questionnaires to analyze the quality of the sustainability reporting—a base questionnaire for reports across sectors and a sector-specific questionnaire for companies within the same sector. The selection of questions is based on, and periodically adjusted to, the most frequently-mentioned topics in over 1,900 corporate sustainability reports analyzed from 2002 through 2009 at the Roberts Environmental Center. The Roberts Environmental Center The Roberts Environmental Center is an environmental research institute at Claremont McKenna College (CMC). Its mission is to provide students of all the Claremont Colleges with a comprehensive and realistic understanding of today’s environmental issues and the ways in which they are being and can be resolved-- beyond the confines of traditional academic disciplines and curriculum--and to identify, publicize, and encourage policies and practices that achieve economic and social goals in the most environmentally benign and protective manner. The Center is partially funded by an endowment from George R. Roberts (Founding Partner of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and CMC alumnus), other grants and gifts, and is staffed by faculty and students from the Claremont Colleges. Methodology Student analysts download relevant English language web pages from the main corporate website for analysis. Our scoring excludes data independently stored outside the main corporate website or available only in hard copy. When a corporate subsidiary has its own sustainability reporting, partial credit is given to the parent company when a direct link is provided in the main corporate website. We archive these web pages as PDF files for future reference. Our analysts use a keyword search function to search reporting of specific topics, fill out a PSI scoring sheet (http://www.roberts.cmc.edu/PSI/scoringsheet.asp), and track the coverage and depths of different sustainability issues mentioned in all online materials. Scores and Ranks When they are finished scoring, the analysts enter their scoring results into the PSI database. The PSI database calculates scores and publishes them on the Center’s website. This sector report provides an in- depth analysis on sustainability reporting of the largest companies of the sector, as listed in the latest 2010 Forbes lists. Prior to publishing our sector report, we notify companies analyzed and encourage them to provide feedback and additional new online materials, which often improve their scores. What do the scores mean? We normalize all the scores to the potential maximum score. Scores of subsets of the overall score are also normalized to their potential maxima. The letter grades (A+, A, A-, B+, etc.), however, are normalized to the highest scoring company analyzed in the report. Grades of individual companies in the report might be different from grades posted online on the Roberts Environmental Center's website, since the normalization of scores of an individual company online is not limited to the companies analyzed in the sector report, but also includes other companies of the same sector irrespective of the year of analysis. Companies with scores in the highest 4% get an A+ and any in the bottom 4% get an F. We assign these by dividing the maximum PSI score obtained in the sector into 12 equal parts then rounding fractional score up or down.

  • Cobots Ebook
    COBOTS EBOOK Collaborative Robots Buyer's Guide INTRODUCTION A new kind of robot has made its way into industrial settings, challenging our preconceived notions of robotics. These robots’ main feature is the ability to work safely alongside humans, and now it seems human-robot collaboration is the most sought-after characteristic for robots. There’s a lot of talk about them on the web, but what are they really? Until now, robots have always been big, strong, robust devices that work on specific tasks which were designed for them. They’ve been kept in cages and surrounded by guards for safety purposes. Their bright color was used to warn surrounding workers about the danger they represented. And it took a lot of programming skills just to set up these robots. Collaborative robots, on the other hand, are designed to work with humans. They’re built with safety features such as integrated sensors, passive compliance, or overcurrent detection. The integrated sensors will feel external forces and, if this force is too high, lead the robot to stop its movement. Passive compliance is produced by mechanical components. If an external force acts on a joint, this joint will submit itself to this force. So, in the case of a collision, the joint will move in the opposite direction or stop completely to avoid causing injury. Most collaborative robots can be easily taught by demonstration, rather than requiring a deep knowledge of programming. Thanks to their ease of implementation and the fact that no additional safety features are required (no fences, switches, etc.), they can be brought on-line much more quickly.

  • An Industrial Robotics Course for Manufacturing Engineers
    Paper ID #15654 An Industrial Robotics Course for Manufacturing Engineers Dr. Jeffrey L. Newcomer, Western Washington University Dr. Jeffrey L. Newcomer is a Professor of Manufacturing Engineering and Chair of the Engineering and Design Department at Western Washington University. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 An Industrial Robotics Course for Manufacturing Engineers For many years the automobile industry was the home to more than half of the robots used in U.S. manufacturing. Recently, however, many other industries have been or are planning to introduce robots into their manufacturing processes.1 In the Pacific Northwest region several companies in aerospace, electronics, apparel, and commercial cookware have either introduced robots or ex- panded their use in recent years. As such, an introduction to robotics in the context of manufac- turing is becoming more important for students pursuing degrees in Manufacturing Engineering. There is, however, always a challenge when teaching robotics to find the correct balance between application and modeling. Many robotics courses taught in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering Departments have a tendency to emphasize modeling over application, but a well-prepared Man- ufacturing Engineer needs to understand where the challenges in robotics applications lie as well as understanding what is going on ‘under the hood’. A quick survey of the 21 ABET accredited Manufacturing Engineering programs indicates that only five have a manufacturing specific ro- botics course, and three of those are special topics courses that are not offered consistently.2 Other programs have robotics integrated into a general automation class, have cross-listed classes with other programs, or have graduate classes on robotics that are available to seniors, so there are not the same opportunities for depth or focus on manufacturing applications.
