Surface cleaning and blasting for the ship hull of oil tankers and passenger ships are conventional operations in a ship yard with surface roughness requirements. Several process parameters affect the blasting quality outcome, such as the distance between the blasting nozzles and ship hull, feed rate of copper grit, grit size, etc. In this paper, a mathematical model is derived to describe the relationship between several input parameters and blasting quality. In addition, a blasting experiment is designed using the Taguchi method in order to reduce the number of experiments required for validating the proposed model. Due to resource and time constraints, the experiments will be carried out as future work.

In this work, implementation issues related to multivariable Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) for processes with multiple time delays are analyzed. Due to specific properties of those processes, the resulting control system has to account for the existing delays between control variables changes and their effect on controlled outputs. In the case of Model Predictive Control (MPC) techniques, such as GPC, the dead-time issue can be captured in the process model and thus considered in the predictive mechanism of the controller. However, this working principle results in augmented matrix dimensions that considers input-output time delays as additional zero entries. This fact increases the computational load and has to be accounted for in the control system design, specially in systems where computing resources are scarce (eg. embedded systems). The reduction of the matrix dimension, and hence the computation required, depends on how the delay terms are structured. The presented analysis considers two different GPC implementations for multivariable dead-time processes, which are used to compensate for internal matrix dimensions for the multiple time delays. Each implementation mode is evaluated for two industrial multivariable processes, providing several performance indexes. Performed simulations show that the required computational load can be reduced when adequate implementation mode is selected.

The control of low power systems, which include renewable energy sources, a local network, an electrochemical storage subsystem and a grid connection, is inherently hierarchical. The lower level consists on the control systems of wind sources (power limitation at rated value in full load regime and energy optimization in partial load regime) and photovoltaic (energy conversion optimization). The control problem at the higher level is treated in this paper and aims at generating the control solution for the energetic transfer between the system components, given that the powers of the renewable energy sources and the power in the local network are random variables. For the higher level, the paper proposes a mixed performance criterion, which includes an energy sub-criterion concerning the costs of electricity supplied to local consumers, and a sub-criterion related to the lifetime of the battery. It was defined an algorithm to control the energy transfer in the system, implemented by using fuzzy techniques and a deficit/surplus prediction of energy in the system.

Equipment usually consists of many components arranged in hierarchical structure. In order to achieve efficient maintenance strategy, the system hierarchy should be taken into account. In this paper, we first give a nomenclature to describe a system composed of multiple non-identical components in a hierarchical structure, the system for an age-based and an opportunistic preventive maintenance strategies is modeled by using a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Then, near-optimal policies are found through the SARSA(λ) algorithm from Reinforcement Learning (RL), where the expected discounted cost is minimized. Simulation experiments to compare near-optimal policies obtained by SARSA(λ) are performed for both strategies with corrective maintenance and with age-based preventive maintenance policy obtained from renewal reward theory. We show that the proposed opportunistic preventive maintenance outperforms other strategies.

The basis for the fourth industrial revolution is the availability of accessing all relevant information in real time by connecting all instances involved in the value chain. The ultimate goal is to manage the entire value chain process, improving efficiencies in the production process and coming up with better products and services. The essence of vertical networking comes from the use of cyber-physical production systems (CPPSs) and vertical integration from sensors to the business level of the company. But in order to assure global interoperability, it is mandatory to use industrial standards to model the different views of stakeholders and communicate heterogeneous devices. This paper focuses on the field of process industry, particularly on the oil production process. A modeling approach based on industry standards is proposed. The final goal is to generate, from the models of the plant and data supplier devices, the OPC UA server configuration. The approach has been tested to model part of the Petroamazonas EP Company located in Ecuador.

In this paper a method is presented that allows an operator to hand-guide a robot along a predefined geometric path. This is a common use case in robot assisted surgery, which often has high demands on precision. In order to ensure the path accuracy of the robot, joint velocity and joint acceleration constraints are enforced to prevent undesired saturation effects of the actuators. Furthermore, necessary optimization steps are calculated in an offline phase and utilized during runtime to ensure realtime capabilities. The functionality of the method is evaluated using simulated sensor readings, controlling a kinematic model of the robot. While the focus is on surgical applications, the method can be useful in other domains as well, e.g. rehabilitation robotics or industrial applications.

This work is concerned with the implementation of an Adaptive Fault Diagnoser (AFD) for a system modeled by Timed Continuous Petri Nets under infinite server semantics, where the set of potential faults is a priori known, however their presence during system evolution, type, location, occurrence time, magnitude and behavior over time are unknown. There exist previous works reported in literature, where this problem has been solved, unfortunately the number of diagnosers used to detect, isolate and identify the fault is too large. Now, this work proposes a single diagnoser model where its structure is known and some of its parameters are updated depending on the fault occurrence. Considering this model, identification algorithms, based on heuristic optimization methods, are used to identify these unknown fault parameters. The analysis of the diagnoser parameters allows the faults detection, isolation and identification. The effectiveness of the proposed diagnoser is shown through two examples with different fault behaviors.

New production paradigms have been proposed along the industrial evolution in the attempt to solve problems like product customization, industrial manufacture of low quantities, and high variety of products in the same production plant (or even production line). Diverse architectures and devices have been used in order to achieve an optimum solution. Notably, the Evolvable Production Systems (EPS) proven to be an interesting alternative to deal with issues of mass customization. These systems make use of mechatronic and software agents to construct manufacturing plants, where the former may be associated to the systems' muscles (actuators and other mechanical devices), while the later are the systems' intelligence (software). Although such systems are becoming popular among many research groups all over the world, the construction of simulation plants capable of implementing the main EPS properties are not that easy. This paper describes a purpose of a Didactic Evolvable Production System, based on an open architecture, constructed purpose at the Federal University of Amazonas in Manaus - Brazil.

This paper deals with estimation of thermal conductivity for temperature control of an aluminum plate considering radiative heat transfer. Aiming at accurate control results, model-based control method needs true values of plant parameters. In our previous research, the nominal values of plant parameters have been used for temperature control experiment. However, for the actual environment in industrial field, physical parameters such as thermal conductivity will change. Therefore this paper reports the estimation result of thermal conductivity of aluminum plate considering radiative heat transfer through experimental data.

Eboracum is an extensible modeling simulation framework for evaluation of reactive and adaptable wireless sensor networks (WSN), which provides high-level primitives for modeling platform and application aspects of WSNs. Combining application to environment-generated workload and computing/communication infrastructure, this framework allows to evaluate the efficiency of WSN configurations with regards to metrics that are meaningful to specific application domains and respective end-users. In this work, we demonstrate that Eboracum can be easily extended to support different types of nodes, events, as well as dynamic adaptability strategies. Moreover, this work discusses how to employ Eboracum to evaluate load balancing strategies and describe two different realistic scenarios, extending its primitives, for instance, to support mobile nodes and trigger events.
