In marble block quarrying operation, hand rock drills, costing P70,000 each, is used. It has a drilling rate of 15 cm/min, produces 30 cubic meters of block per month and consumes 80 liters of diesel fuel for compressor drive, per rock drill per cubic meter produced utilizing 1 worker per drill. A modern equipment quarry bar mounted rock drill is being offered for P180,000 per unit and has a drilling rate of 65 cm/min that will produce 75 cubic meters of block per month, but consumes 135 liters of diesel fuel for the compressor drive per cubic meters of block produced, utilizing 2 workers per quarry bar drill. Consider diesel fuel at P6.55 per liter at quarries, worker earning P375 per day, 22 days per month, 12 years life of both drills with 13% salvage

PEFORMING ROR ANALYSIS FOR 3D PRINTER AND IIOT TECHNOLOGY Background Software used in 3D printer systems manufactured by Spectrum LASER Corp. is currently able to automatically develop hollows, shells, and "tree supports to save development time. Network printing for use on multiple machines and at different locations globally is available. New software, called JIT II, is being beta tested that will allow lloT-type (Industrial Internet of Things) connections between machines at distant locations. When onb oard monitoring sensors detect that a part is about to fail, or it is time to replace one of several high-profile parts, the JIT Il software will automatically queue the part's manufacturing code onto a 3D printer that is detected to be locally idle or ready. The company believes it can design and produce the JIT Il software, the 3D printers, and the accompanying computer equipment necessary to place this technology in a wide variety of harsh environments-chemically toxic to humans,…
