Deutsch: Robustheit / Español: robustez / Português: robustez / Français: robustesse / Italiano: robustezza
Robustness refers to the ability of a system, process, or product to maintain its functionality and performance despite variations, disturbances, or stress factors. In industrial settings, this term often applies to machines, control systems, production processes, and even business operations. Robust systems are designed to perform reliably under a wide range of operating conditions, including unexpected or adverse scenarios.
Deutsch: Rückgewinnung / Español: Recuperación / Português: Recuperação / Français: Récupération / Italiano: Recupero
Recovery in the industrial context refers to the process of reclaiming, reusing, or restoring materials, energy, or resources that would otherwise be wasted. This includes recycling raw materials, recovering waste heat for energy efficiency, and restoring production capabilities after disruptions. Industrial recovery plays a key role in sustainability, cost reduction, and resource efficiency.
Deutsch: Fluss / Español: Río / Português: Rio / Français: Rivière / Italiano: Fiume
River in the industrial context typically refers to the role of rivers in supporting industrial activities such as transportation, energy generation, cooling, and wastewater disposal. Many industries rely on rivers for logistical advantages, hydroelectric power, and access to freshwater for processing and cooling. Sustainable management of industrial river use is crucial to prevent pollution and maintain ecological balance.
Deutsch: Rekonfiguration / Español: Reconfiguración / Português: Reconfiguração / Français: Reconfiguration / Italiano: Riconfigurazione
Reconfiguration in the industrial context refers to the Process of reorganising or modifying systems, machinery, workflows, or production setups to improve efficiency, adaptability, or performance. It is a strategic approach to responding to changes in market demands, technology advancements, or operational needs within an industrial setting.
Deutsch: Roboterarm / Español: brazo robótico / Português: braço robótico / Français: bras robotisé / Italiano: braccio robotico
A robotic arm in the industrial context refers to a mechanical device that simulates the movement and functionality of a human arm, designed to automate tasks in manufacturing and other industrial applications. These robotic arms can be programmed to perform specific, repetitive tasks with high Precision and efficiency, such as assembly, welding, Painting, packaging, and Material handling.
Deutsch: Ablageort / Español: Repositorio / Português: Repositório / Français: Référentiel / Italiano: Deposito
Repository in the industrial context refers to a centralised storage system or location where data, materials, or resources are collected, organised, and maintained for access and use. Repositories can be physical or Digital and are critical for managing resources efficiently across various industries, from manufacturing and logistics to technology and energy.
Deutsch: Auflösung / Español: Resolución / Português: Resolução / Français: Résolution / Italiano: Risoluzione
Resolution in the industrial context refers to the smallest measurable increment that a sensor, instrument, or imaging device can reliably detect or display. Resolution determines the level of detail or precision in measurements and is crucial in industries where high accuracy is essential, such as manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality control.
Deutsch: Reduzierung / Español: reducción / Português: redução / Français: réduction / Italiano: riduzione
Reduction in the industrial context refers to the Process or practice of decreasing or minimising certain elements, resources, or outputs within industrial operations. This can include the reduction of costs, emissions, waste, or energy Consumption to achieve more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective practices in industry.
Reduction can also be considered the opposite of --->Oxidation.
