On line change detection is a key activity in streaming analytics, which aims to determine whether the current observation in a time series marks a change point in some important characteristic of the data, given the ...

Maintenance management and engineering practice has progressed to adopt approaches which aim to reach maintenance decisions not by means of pre-specified plans and recommendations but increasingly on the basis of best ...

The realization of a higher business value in manufacturing requires optimized internal logistics systems in terms of operational performance, uptime and sustainability. This paper deals with the introduction of Internet ...

In this paper, a model-based decision-making framework for the design of localized networked production systems under largescale disruptions is developed. The framework consists of optimization and agent-based simulation ...

In times of large-scale crises, seemingly streamlined supply chains could become prone to unforeseen disruptions, leading to interruption in the provision of vital supplies. This could lead to severe consequences if such ...

In this paper, a decision-making framework for the design of redistributed manufacturing (RdM) networks is developed. Redistributed manufacturing, a manufacturing paradigm greatly empowered by the Industry 4.0 toolset, is ...

The adoption of the Circular Economy paradigm by industry leads to increased responsibility of manufacturing to ensure a holistic awareness of the environmental impact of its operations. In mitigating negative effects in ...

Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems have benefitted substantially from the introduction of a range of technology enablers. These include web-based and semantic computing, ubiquitous sensing, internet of things (IoT) with ...

A digitally enabled environment is a setting which incorporates sensors coupled with reporting and analytics tools for understanding, observing or managing that environment. Large scale data collection and analysis are a ...

The changing nature of manufacturing, in recent years, is evident in industry’s willingness to adopt network connected intelligent machines in their factory development plans. A number of joint corporate/government initiatives ...
