A method for controlling an industrial process includes: determining, by a process controller, based at least in part on a set of current values and/or past values of state variables of the industrial process, a set of control outputs to be applied to at least one actor and/or lower-level controller configured to cause a performing of at least one physical action on the process; querying, based on at least a subset of the set of current values and/or past values of state variables and on at least a subset of the set of control outputs, a trained machine-learning model configured to output a classification value, and/or a regression value, that is indicative of a propensity of a watching human operator to at least partially override the control outputs delivered by the process controller; and determining that the classification value, the regression value, and/or the propensity, meets a predetermined criterion.

A preventive maintenance system of a machine tool capable of making determination of presence of an abnormality mechanically and automatically, which has conventionally been performed on the basis of the feeling of an operator and detecting an abnormality more accurately in an earlier stage is provided. The preventive maintenance system includes: a vibration detection unit attached to a mechanism of a machine tool to detect vibration; a sound detection unit that detects acoustic waves produced when a work is machined by the machine tool; a servo motor current value detection unit that detects a current value of a servo motor; an abnormality determination unit that compares the vibration, the acoustic waves, and the current value of the servo motor during operation of the machine tool with vibration data, acoustic wave data, and current value data in a normal state set in advance to determine presence of an abnormality in the mechanism of the machine tool; and a detection start/end command setting unit that adds commands for a detection start point and a detection end point of at least one of the vibration, the acoustic waves, and the current value of the servo motor to a machining program.

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method and a planer for calculating at least one supplementary processing plan for a workpiece to be processed by a processing machine. The method comprises the steps of: Measuring workpiece properties, including a thickness parameter of the workpiece; Providing at least one supplementary processing plan, which is specific for the measured workpiece properties. Due to the present invention, measurement of the workpiece properties is performed before starting to process the workpiece. Therefore, time and material can be saved, and scrap and waste are reduced.
