A device management system for performing validation prior to commissioning at least one field device. The system includes a commissioning tool operable to receive at least one source file relating to the at least one field device for import operation, and a processor operable to check the source file for any error. If at least one error is found in the source file, the processor is operable to refer to an error resolution database for providing guidance on resolution of error associated with the source file without terminating the import operation.

A remote integrated monitoring operation system includes: a unit integrated database for sequentially recording a name of each plant unit, a parameter indicating an event that has occurred in the plant unit, a state of the parameter, and warning classification indicated by the parameter and the state; an inter-unit influence degree evaluation database for recording influence of the event on the other plant unit; a restoration response guidance database for defining a response to the event; a per-unit urgency degree determination section for determining a degree of urgency of each plant unit; an inter-unit influence degree determination section for evaluating a degree of influence of the event on the other plant unit; and a priority determination section for determining priorities between the respective plant units from the degree of urgency and the degree of influence.

A plant performance management method includes a step of evaluating performance of a plant based on a relationship between at least two items of data from operating data and a step of analyzing a cause that makes the performance of the plant abnormal based on the operating data in a case in which the performance of the plant is evaluated as abnormal.

The invention relates to a method which is used to operate an injection molding machine for processing plastics, which has a mold closing unit (F) for opening and closing an injection mold (M) having at least one mold cavity (12) in order to produce an injection molded part (13), an injection molding unit (S) for plasticizing and injecting new plasticizable material into the mold cavity (12), and a control system (11) for operating the injection molding machine (10). Stored in the control system is expert knowledge (E) about the operation of the injection molding machine and the peripheral devices (P) of the latter which may possibly be present and about the production of injection molded parts (13) using injection molding technology, in order to produce an injection molded part (13) using interactive contact as needed by an operator by using injection molding parameters. The fact that, in further steps, information about the component or the mold cavity (12) is provided to the control system (10) means that the plant and process parameters required for the production of the injection molded part (13) can be calculated by the control system (10) before the first injection molded part is produced, such that an alternative procedure for the operator-friendly setting of a machine for processing plastics is made available.

A vibration analysis system for predicting performance of a building system includes one or more memory devices configured to store instructions that, when executed on one or more processor, cause the one or more processors to receive vibration data from the building equipment, generate a performance prediction for the building equipment, generate a performance explanation for the performance prediction, and cause a user interface to display the performance prediction and the performance explanation.

A maintenance method of an electromechanical device comprises the steps of: making available to a control unit of the electromechanical device data communication means based on a wireless communication protocol; providing an operator a portable electronic device suitable to implement augmented reality and having a database in which is stored a list of maintenance operations that can be performed on the electromechanical device, activating data communication between the electronic control unit and the portable electronic device and transferring from the first to the second the status signals and/or possible alarm signals; in the presence of at least one alarm signal, correlating said alarm signal with at least one maintenance operation and communicating to the operator, thanks to augmented reality, the alarm signal and the maintenance operations related to said alarm signal.

An intermediary system and processes for controlling cable processing on plural cable processing machines. The intermediary system receives operators' location data, as determined by location sensors; receives from each cable processing machine technical status data based on a physical parameter indicating a capability of the respective machine in executing a cable processing step; forwards an operator request to a wearable audio output device of an operator; and, receives from a particular machine's technical status update when capability for executing a particular cable processing step is restored. The intermediary system has a computing component including: technical status evaluator identifying, based on particular technical status data a need for restoring capability of the respective cable processing machine in executing a cable processing step; a request composition component generating the operator request with voice instructions for the operator, the operator request being based on the identified need, technical status data of other machines, and location data of the operators.

An automated industrial notification platform creates a link between a given industrial asset and one or more people or support entities qualified to provide support for the asset. An industrial device or machine stores electronic expert tag information that records and catalogs one or more support people or entities to be notified in response to detection of various types of performance or maintenance issues. The tag can include the experts' identities, contact information, roles relative to the industrial asset, event priorities, and other relevant information. Since the tag is stored in a memory location of the industrial asset, the tag travels with the asset so that experts are globally associated with the asset regardless of the asset's location. Notification components integrated with the industrial asset detect conditions that may require expert assistance, and send an automated notification to one or more experts identified by the tag information.

A method, an apparatus, and a system are provided for automatically repairing a smart device in the field of computer technology. In the method, the apparatus receives a fault detection request transmitted by the smart device, the fault detection request carrying at least one current value of at least one preset parameter item of the smart device. The apparatus determines whether the at least one current value is within a preset range according to a first value characteristic. When it is determined that the at least one current value is within the preset range, the apparatus obtains first fault repair information corresponding to the first value characteristic from a correspondence table. The apparatus transmits the first fault repair information to the smart device, so that the smart device is automatically repaired according to the first fault repair information.
