TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a self-learning production system (SLPS) to enhance the control together with other manufacturing activities (e.g., energy saving, maintenance, lifecycle optimization, etc.).
Abstract: The manufacturing companies of today have changed radically over the course of the last 20 years and this trend certainly will continue. The increasing demand and the intense competition in market sharing are radically changing the way production systems are designed and products are manufactured pushing, in this way, the emergence of new manufacturing technologies and/or paradigms. This scenario encourages manufacturing companies to invest in new and more integrated monitoring and control solutions in order to optimize more and more their production processes to enable a faster fault detection, reducing down-times during production while improving system performances and throughput along time. In accordance with these needs, the research done under the scope of Self-Learning Production Systems (SLPS) tries to enhance the control together with other manufacturing activities (e.g. energy saving, maintenance, lifecycle optimization, etc.). The key assumption is that the integration of context awareness and data mining techniques with traditional monitoring and control solutions will reduce maintenance problems, production line downtimes and manufacturing operational costs while guaranteeing a more efficient management of the manufacturing resources.

28 May 2013TL;DR: An approach is described combining different modelling and analysis approaches in a new way resulting in an easy way for resource allocation decisions in engineering processes.
Abstract: Engineering and installation processes are one cost driver within the life cycle of a technical system. Especially within international projects crossing country borders, the cost distribution and the cost allocation are challenges for the success of the technical system. The engineers usually responsible for the decisions where and by whom an engineering activity has to be executed within the engineering process are usually not able to execute a highly detailed decision and management process as proposed by workflow management systems. Thus, an easier useable approach following the knowledge of these engineers is required. Within this paper such an approach is described combining different modelling and analysis approaches in a new way resulting in an easy way for resource allocation decisions in engineering processes.
