Reading Time: 4 minutes Background: Kot executed an instrumentation project on a railway connecting two Brazilian states. In this article, you will learn more about how this successful case was developed by the company’s team!
Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction: Instrumentation is used on railways in order to develop physical quantities monitoring (acceleration, velocity, temperature, etc) involved in this complex operation process.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Background: Kot has carried out a structural evaluation study for a belt conveyor contained in a maritime terminal. In order to do so, a static and component’s connection analysis took place following the due standards.
Reading Time: 3 minutes Background: In general, mechanical vibrations can be defined as oscillatory movements of bodies around an equilibrium position [1]. These movements produce dynamic charges which can require a big effort of the acting structures.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction: Broadly speaking, mathematical analysis can be solved linearly and nonlinearly. In order to understand the situations in which nonlinear analysis is used it is important to know the circumstances for its execution.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction: The human vision is an important asset which allows the interpretation of several aspects in the world. These perceptions are numerous, for instance, observing a tree on the street, it is possible to notice different aspects of the plant such as colors, textures and shapes.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Background: Often, within the industry, we are faced with unexpected phenomena during operations: clogging, failures, poor distribution of materials and loads, among others. In order to approach these cases, a common and expensive solution is to acquire new machinery.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Background: Aiming to innovate and break with the traditional human resources professionals selection methods, KOT searched for alternatives which would indeed guarantee suitable new hires. The result was the creation of the “KOT BUILD UP” competition which compels students to actively apply the knowledge acquired at university.
Reading Time: 5 minutes Background: Computer Aided Engineering, also known as CAE [1], can easily be defined by the usage of computers in order to improve or assist engineering solutions or the development of products for a wide range of industries.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction: The inspection and analysis are two very important tools when it comes to the promotion of the integrity of an asset. They can be used, for instance, to verify potential flaws in the project, unforeseen/unknown phenomena investigation and the supply of technical support for maintenance planning.
