INTEGRATED SYSTEMS OPERATION TECHNOLOGIES & ADVANCED TRAINING
INTELLIGENT OPERATION SUPERVISORY SYSTEM
The advent of the new computer systems,
the systems of signal processing, auto-identification and
simulation algorithms and knowledge management, imposed
a new approach for systems control and industrial command,
enabling new more advanced reliability and availability
models of equipments and systems.
The WEB systems, broadband signal transmission, performed
the material complement that allied to the new algorithms
and software applications, increased an announced revolution
to the industrial procedures, distance production control
and industrial systems productivity.
It
would be incipient obtaining larger operational
reliability, without incorporating
step by step the new means and devices that allow
the perfect execution of the professional mission,
incorporating
the new gestures, understanding the largest safety
of the systems, effective inter operability, and
events
real-time integration.
These components enable in fact in a wide scale economical
optimization, mainly in the economy over the lifecycle
management of the assets, maintenance, production, product
quality, but mainly preventing unexpected breakdown with
damages, resulting in deteriorations of the whole company
profile.
The
studies demonstrate that for all interconnected
productive corporations (including their Systems
and Subsystems), the costs of an unexpected simple
breakdown,
that lasts long for a dozen of hours can commit
the company annual
profile, if it has consequences of equipments
replacement, but mainly that this cost overcomes
completely the costs
of countless times of the project and installation
of new control and command systems.
These systems don't request usually anything besides
most of the installed sensors and probes, and access
to these signals, interpolated in new applications and
simulators that allow obtaining and forecast events previously
operated only by estimations. Usually in the requirements
of better performances, new components can be added gradually,
presenting insignificant costs in face of the benefits.
The benefits add to the spare parts stock reduction
and optimization, maintenance crew and interventions,
obtaining a comfortable predictability that enables to
improve the overall production facilities effectiveness
and final products quality.

Incorporating
recognized technologies, the new control
systems allow wide integration
of update results from
advanced Research & Development, in the intention
of equipping the company with the best benefit
over assets, to obtain reliable data for decision-making
and to extend
the equipments and facilities operating life.
For
this outcome a wide international team is
available, intervening exclusively in their individual
competences when requested. They will establish
for the Industrial Companies, innovative technology
transfers from advanced
researches centers, with recognized successes,
and integrating to the processes the modern
means, following effectively
the trends of the largest international corporations. |

NOTES
ABOUT THE PROPOSED PROGRAMS
The
progresses of the electronic systems, digital networks,
broadband transmissions, effectively imposed new conditions
for industrial systems operation.
Introducing new possibilities
through the use of digital signals, information,
image, allowing the diagnosis, analysis and implementation
of
simulations and incorporating to human decision,
the increments of new algorithms, and the evaluation
of data in real time,
support the decision-making.
The control sections, command, operation of systems
through use of simple WEB platforms became powerful means
of systems monitoring, decision-support, and processes
optimization with employments of technologies such as
e-Monitoring and e-Maintenance.
In
this process, one part is pragmatic, as the installation
of systems of embedded devices, sensors, networks,
portal WEB, computers, and broadband transmission,
and another
is Research & Development in view of the
wide opportunities of adoption of means to optimize
the processes, reducing
the failure, wastes, optimizing the production
and product quality, and invariably increasing
the life
of the assets
with maintenance reduction. |
In
this sense the industrial systems are individual,
with subsystems, equipments and own operation conditions,
what invokes a certain improvement for several
factors,
where the Research & Development can build
the best conditioning for the processes, for
the use of
the own
knowledge and experience, historical and information
in the integrated improvement of the systems.
Within this sense an international
team containing the
best exponents in each section is established
to propose
enhanced methods, within technology transfer
of recent researches,
to set up optimized and efficient individual models.
These international teams and experts will intervene
subject to requirements of developments previously recommended
and approved (stage by stage), launching resources implementation
into the systems denominated intelligent destined to
optimization. Others intervene exclusively for the annexation
of accessories and applications within the expert systems.
This methodology is adopted in a tailor pilot-model
justified by the inexistence of a single solution, as
a software or application that might interconnect all
the elements involved in the modern industrial challenge.
The
method implements evolutionary systems, allowing
the evaluation on each stage and
whole systems evolution
within an adaptive vision and decision-support
attitude for the improvement of the productive
systems and services. |
MONITORING
RELIABILITY
The multiple existent approaches for failure discovery
and diagnosis systems are methods of after the fact,
i.e., the failure happened and the machine or system
has definitive breakdown or hopeless degradation.
An approach more cost-effective is adaptively to discover
and to prevent failure so that the catastrophic breakdown
and machine downtime can be reduced to the minimum.
|
The notable new progresses in process, sensor and actuators
technology is revolutionizing the Monitoring reliability
(analysis of failure adaptable on-line and recovery)
for large electronic and electro mechanic systems as
automated industrial plants, rolling plants, petrochemicals
processes, petroleum and infinity of industrial processes.
Using the techniques based on a combined maintenance
analyses (e-Maintenance or Intelligent Maintenance) of
main component of simulation computer science, the international
consortium members develop a general approach and still
particular to state monitoring. The advanced monitoring
applications and control support several applications
that include: |
INTELLIGENT
CONTROL MONITORING ARCHITECTURE - ICMA
Control
is one of dominating Research & Development
areas of the recognized international consortium
partners. They applied a massive amount of control
techniques as
linear control, non-linear control, adaptive control,
and networks for many several applications. The research
efforts in intelligent control are focused in:
1. Development of maintenance platform-based for decision-support.
2. Control, design and implementation of systems of diagnoses
for failure of machines, systems degradation and breakdown
reduction.
3. System control and simulation that use mode control
and networks.
4. Scanning and survey of controls that use logical management
for maintenance.
5. Monitoring of linear actuators using system of neural
networks.
6. Control using multiple models.
7. Control of flux of communications networks.
8. Attitude control using neural networks.
Available installation
regional teams provide a project
of monitoring automation system totally installed,
according to advanced prescriptions, with professional
instructors using a great variety of training methods.
Multimedia and simulation software can provide personnel's
training cost-effective efficiently. |
IMAGE & VIDEO
MONITORING Image
& Video Monitoring application areas include
image and algorithms of data compression, which
can reach
50% reduction
in the requested bandwidth for the transmission
of data, without loss in quality.
These
qualifications are
still more important in the images transmission,
where modern incorporated systems allow superior
levels of
compression and transmission of images with CODECs
(algorithms of compression-decompression) of high
precision and that
allow controlling video cameras in real time at
distances, to store images and complete sequences,
to use filters
for leaks and or vapors detection, or even to verify
commanding valves, repairs and maintenance and
to give operational instructions.
FOCUS AUTOMATION INTELLIGENT MONITORING
Implantation
of technologies support – as flux
controls and instrumentation – has a more severe
impact through quality improvement practices in the
industrial whole production, project engineering, management
and supply chain. |
ADVANCED
SIMULATION TOOLS
Intelligent
automation is one of the principles that has been
designated the initial task of development
for the
creation of a modeling and simulation capacity
to support wide analyses and concepts of advanced
tools.
The
order of command tasks integrated to the development
of systems management, increases in wide distributed
scale, a simulation
structure and an understanding methodology that
results
in a flexible reconfigurable systems.
The
approach integrates a context of open infrastructure
that
became the industry pattern for wide, multifidelity,
distributed simulations.
This application level can be used eventually, within
the advanced components optimization of the Industrial
systems, subsequent to the implantation of the monitoring
systems and basic simulations as recommended in the current
pilot-model. It could increase an improved optimization
of systems, so much at operational controls level and
production and maintenance procedures.
