Customer satisfaction concerns of selected hypermarkets in Pimpri Chinchwad area

Sole traders in grocery retail are decreasing rapidly in and around Pimpri Chinchwad suburb of Pune City. Traditionally Pune city was known as pensioner’s city and Pimpri Chinchwad was known as a hub for working class people. With rapid industrialization, the scenario is changed, now Pimpri Chinchwad is covered under township development plan and several hypermarkets are active in the area. As consumers start believing neighborhood supermarkets to pick up their daily groceries and other needs, many big retail brands are constructively judging the tier II markets such as Pimpri-Chinchwad to confirm a stable growth. Structured retail is fast growing in upcoming smaller markets such as Pimpri-Chinchwad that already has outlets of brands such as More, Big Bazaar among others. Brands such as Spencer's, Reliance, and Auchan from Max Hypermarkets are going up speedily in Pune. Customer satisfaction is a fundamental aspect of a successful business. Evaluating customer satisfaction level from time to time enhances the profitability of the business. It helps to ascertain the place where it stands and can frame concrete plans for ensuring success in the future.

A study of supply chain management in civil engineering

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a concept that has flourished in manufacturing, originating from Just-In-Time production and logistics. Today, SCM represents an autonomous managerial concept, although still largely dominated by logistics. SCM endeavors to observe the entire scope of the supply chain.

Real-time monitoring system (websocket-based) for remote intelligent buildings

These days, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in digital engineering are used inside the tracking of far off sensible buildings, and the need for emerging web 3.0 is turning into increasingly in every component of electronic engineering. however, the key demanding situations of tracks are the tracking approaches and storage fashions of huge ancient monitoring facts. To deal with these barriers, we try to design a WebSocket-based totally real-time tracking system for far off sensible homes. On one hand, we utilize the modern-day HTML5 WebSocket, Canvas and Chart technology to screen the sensor records collected in WSNs within the web browser. The proposed monitoring system helps the latest HTML5 browsers and legacy browsers without native WebSocket capability transparently. then again, we advocate a storage model with lifecycle to optimize the NoSQL data warehouse. eventually, we've got made the tracking and garage experiments to illustrate the prevalence of our technique. The monitoring experimental consequences display that the average latency time of our WebSocket monitoring is generally lower than polling, FlashSocket, and Socket solution, and the storage experimental outcomes show that our storage model has low redundancy price, garage area, and latency.

Study of waste polythene used in flexible pavement

Waste polythene which is increased week to week becomes messed of the waste polythene it turns pollutes the environment, especially where there is no garbage collection system existed. A large amount of plastic comes into the tourist trekking regions and housing area are discarded or burned which is released harmful gases into the environment and air. The waste polythene collected from domestic and industrial sectors can be used in the production of plastics coated aggregate. Waste polythene, mainly used for packing and carrying any food. It’s made up of Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and polystyrene. There softening point varies between 110 degree Celsius – 140 degree Celsius and if the wastes polythene is heated thesis temperature range then they do not produce any toxic gases but the softened waste polythene have tendency to form a film like structure over the aggregate, when it is sprayed over the hot aggregate at 160 degree Celsius – 170 degree Celsius. The Plastics Coated Aggregates (PCA) is a better raw material for the construction of flexible pavement. PCA was mixed with hot bitumen of different types and the mixes were used for road construction.

One stage solar photovoltaic fed brushless DC motor operated water pump

In order to optimize the solar photovoltaic (PV)generated power using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique, a DC-DC conversion stage is usually required in solar PV fed water pumping which is driven by a brushless DC (BLDC) motor. This power conversion stage leads to an increased cost, size, complexity and reduced efficiency. As a unique solution, this work addresses a single stage solar PV energy conversion system feeding a BLDC motor-pump, which eliminates the DC-DC conversion stage. A simple control technique capable of operating the solar PV array at its peak power using a common voltage source inverter (VSI), is proposed for BLDC motor control. The proposed control eliminates the BLDC motor phase current sensors. No supplementary control is associated with the speed control of motor-pump and its soft start. The speed is controlled through the optimum power of the solar PV array. The suitability of the proposed system is manifested through its performance evaluation using MATLAB/Simulink based simulated results and experimental validation on a developed prototype, under the practical operating conditions.

Structural health monitoring

In the past decade, we have seen growing interest in SHM based on wireless sensor networks and the reason for this is the poor installation and expenses of maintenance. WSNs allow a deep deployment of measurement points on an existing structure, facilitating exact and fault-tolerant damage identification techniques without installing a fixed wired infrastructure. We provide a hierarchical decentralized SHM system that executes flexibility-based damage identification and localization. Flexibility-based methods exactly identify and localize damage on a wider range of structures than the previous System, by externally correlating data across various sensors. Our hierarchical system organizes nodes into clusters using a novel multilevel search approach that incrementally activates sensors in the damaged regions, allowing much of the network to remain asleep.
