A computer implemented method for the maintenance optimization of a fleet or group of turbomachinery assets is disclosed. The method comprises the step of model training and setup, aiming at setting configurations parameters, that can be executed offline, and the step of online calculation on new input data, which is based on detected data and extracted statistical features. An anomaly identification and classification follow, thus calculating a risk assessment, for estimating the risk that an anomaly might cause any event that requires a maintenance task to be executed on one or more assets of the fleet.

A system for monitoring machine tool health is disclosed. The system includes a machine tool and a central data server configured to receive, process, and send data. A plurality of sensors are associated with the machine tool, and the sensors are configured to measure operating parameters of the machine tool that relate to potential failure of a machine tool component. The sensors also are configured to send data relative to the measured operating parameters to the central data server. A system for enterprise resource planning is configured to receive data from the central data server, analyze the received data to determine whether preventive maintenance is indicated for the machine tool, and schedule preventive maintenance for the machine tool.

In a method for error detection and monitoring an electronically closed-loop or open-loop controlled machine part, operating parameters and monitoring parameters of machine parts are recorded and stored. A comparison group of comparable machine parts and comparable operating parameters is determined based on the recorded and stored operating parameters and a machine part to be compared. A statistical analysis procedure is used for creating a threshold value based on the determined comparison group, and for detecting a variance of at least one state or at least one of the monitoring parameters based on the threshold value. The variance is assigned to the machine part.

A device system includes a terminal device and an information processing device. The terminal device includes a detector and a first notifier. The detector detects at least one of data representing an operation performed by a worker with respect to the terminal device, data representing an environmental value of a plant, and data representing biological information of the worker. The first notifier notifies, to the information processing device, first historical data representing a history of data currently detected by the detector. The information processing device includes a storage and a proposer. The storage stores second historical data representing a history of data detected by the detector in the past. The proposer proposes an operation which should be performed with respect to the terminal device by using the first historical data notified by the first notifier and the second historical data stored in the storage.

A system for controlling, monitoring and regulating a process in an industrial plant includes a closed feedback loop which includes an automatically configurable central data acquisition for acquiring an operating parameter generated by the industrial plant on a customer side in a field, and a central data evaluation unit. The central data evaluation unit includes a centralized data collecting unit, a generating module configured to generate a result for plant optimization, process extension, optimization of necessary maintenance works, or any combination thereof, and a creation module configured to create a new target parameter via automated adaptation of the operating parameter. A first communication connection transmits data from the field to the central data evaluation unit, and a second communication connection transmits data in response to the target parameter from the central data evaluation unit back to the field and adjusts the industrial plant as a function of the target parameter.

One embodiment is a system including a component for installation on a vehicle comprising a central maintenance computer (CMC); a configuration/maintenance module (CMM) associated with the component and including memory for storing component information, a sensor for detecting a condition and generating data indicative thereof; a microprocessor for processing the sensor data and updating the component information with the processing results; and a communications interface between the CMM and the CMC. The system further includes a remaining useful life (RUL) module associated with the component that periodically updates an RUL, the RUL module periodically updating an RUL value for the component and communicating the updated RUL value to the CMM for storage in the memory. The CMC communicates with the CMM to update the component information included in the memory based on information input to the CMC by a user or changes in a condition of the vehicle.

A bioreactor cleaning system for cleaning a bioreactor in a rail vehicle, comprising a first suction connection, a second suction connection, a flushing connection, an acid tank, a collection tank for receiving liquid drawn out of the bioreactor, a fresh water connection, a pump with a first pump connection and a second pump connection, and a measuring unit for measuring liquid. By means of the pump liquid can be pumped from the first suction connection optionally into the measuring unit, into the collection tank or into the acid tank, aqueous acid solution can be pumped from the acid tank to the second suction connection and/or to the flushing connection; fresh water can be pumped from the fresh water connection selectively to the flushing connection or the measuring unit; and liquid can be pumped from the measuring unit either to the collection tank or to the second suction connection.

An assistance method for execution of a format change in an automatic machine can include dividing the format change into an orderly succession of operations for the removal of components designed for the old format and installation of components designed for the new format; communicating the orderly succession of removal and installation operations to an operator; electronically and automatically detecting the actual presence or absence of a component designed for the old or new format before communicating to the operator the operation for removal or installation of the component; electronically and automatically detecting the actual absence or presence of a component designed for the old or new format after having communicated to the operator; and communicating to the operator the operation following an operation for the removal or installation of a component only after having electronically and automatically checked for the actual absence or presence of the component.

A method includes identifying a dynamic acceptable area outside of guardband limits. The method further includes causing, based on the dynamic acceptable area outside of the guardband limits, performance of a corrective action associated with a substrate processing system.
