System and method for fleet reliabity monitoring
A computer-based monitoring system and monitoring method implemented in computer software for analyzing the reliability data collected in the maintenance and repair operations in a fleet of assets with parts of the same type over a period of time. The reliability data include reliability event data, such as failures, repairs, and replacements of the parts. The reliability data further include asset usage data, such as usage time, or usage missions, or usage mileage, or usage flight hours, or such. The monitoring system analyses historical reliability data to build a reliability model. This model is further used in reliability SPC algorithms detecting bad actor assets and bad actor parts that show consistently worse reliability than normal parts and assets.

SLAVE, WORK MACHINE, AND LOG INFORMATION STORAGE METHOD
There are provided a slave, a work machine, and a method for storing log information, which are capable of appropriately store the log information when a communication abnormality occurs such that communication cannot be kept between a master and the slave in an industrial network. The control section performs first storage processing storing the log information into a volatile storage section when a communication abnormality occurs such that communication with the master cannot be kept, communication abnormality determination processing for determining whether the communication abnormality has occurred, and second storage processing storing the log information into a non-volatile storage section by acquiring the log information from the volatile storage section, in response to a determination made in that the communication abnormality has occurred as a result of the communication abnormality determination processing.
PREDICTIVE VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
A computer-implemented method of predicting vehicle faults, the method comprising, at a data processing stage: receiving: i) sets of telematics data each associated with a vehicle identifier, and ii) a vehicle fault dataset, which records historic vehicle fault events, wherein the vehicle fault events are associated in the datasets with cooperating vehicle identifiers; for each of the vehicle identifiers, determining i) a feature object by processing the associated set of telematics data to determine at least one driving style parameter therefrom, the feature object comprising the at least one driving style parameter, and ii) a training label for the feature object based on one or more of the vehicle fault events associated with that vehicle identifier; and using the feature objects and their training labels to train a predictive component, executed at the data processing stage, to learn causal associations between the driving style parameters and the vehicle fault events, such that a feature object comprising at least one target driving style parameter, associated with a target vehicle, inputted to the trained predictive component causes the predictive component to output a corresponding vehicle fault prediction.

Dynamic monitoring and securing of factory processes, equipment and automated systems
A system including a deep learning processor obtains response data of at least two data types from a set of process stations performing operations as part of a manufacturing process. The system analyzes factory operation and control data to generate expected behavioral pattern data. Further, the system uses the response data to generate actual behavior pattern data for the process stations. Based on an analysis of the actual behavior pattern data in relation to the expected behavioral pattern data, the system determines whether anomalous activity has occurred as a result of the manufacturing process. If it is determined that anomalous activity has occurred, the system provides an indication of this anomalous activity.
Systems and methods for line balancing
In various embodiments, a method includes receiving one or more sensor streams with an engine. The engine identifies one or more actions that are performed at first and second stations of a plurality of stations within the sensor stream(s). The received sensor stream(s) and identified one or more actions performed at the first and second stations are stored in a data structure. The identified one or more actions are mapped to the sensor stream(s). The engine characterizes each of the identified one or more actions performed at each of the first and second stations to produce determined characterizations thereof. Based on one or more of the determined characterizations, automatically producing a recommendation, either dynamically or post-facto, to move at least one of the identified one or more actions performed at one of the stations to another station to reduce cycle time.
