Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the Way
Process manufacturers have invested heavily in manufacturing plants and
automation systems. A typical manufacturing plant may have hundreds or
even thousands of regulatory control loops to enable safe and efficient operations.
The most complex units often have advanced process control and
optimization schemes implemented on top of these regulatory control
loops. All of these systems have a need for
tighter process control to enable more effective
use of assets that result in higher ROA and ultimately
better business performance and
profitability.
Unfortunately, automation effectiveness deteriorates
over time. The lack of a structured
methodology for control loop maintenance is a
contributing factor that erodes performance. A
manufacturing plant typically has only two or three control engineers who
each have responsibility for a large of number of loops, yet they often have
no means of identifying where to focus their efforts so that their work has
the largest economic impact on plant performance.

ERP Performance Management and Automatic Scheduling for the Digital FactoryGötz-Andreas Kemmner
Today we are on the threshold of a new automation phase in industry, for which the buzzwords “factory 4.0” or “industry 4.0” have been coined.Also in the factory 4.0 a central and automatic coordination and planning will be required, because parts have to be replenished and production orders have to be planned, yet automatically.
Mechanisms for Scheduling 4.0 already exist but only a few performance leaders use them today. The crucial key to Scheduling 4.0 lies in an intelligent analysis of the enormous
and continually growing quantities of data generated in today’s ERP systems.
This paper discusses how this data can be used to improve the planing and scheduling performance of ERP-systems and thus lay the foundation for an efficient and economic automated planning and scheduling in ERP-systems.

Query-Driven Incremental Synchronization of View ModelsDaniel Varro
Views are key concepts of domain-specific modeling in order to provide specific focus of the designers by abstracting from unnecessary details of the underlying abstract model. Usually, these views are represented as models themselves (view models), computed from the source model. However, the efficient maintenance of views when the source model changes is challenging, as recalculation from scratch has to be avoided to achieve scalability.
In the talk, we propose an approach to define view models in a highly automated way, based on declarative model queries. The views are automatically populated in accordance with the lifecycle of regular model elements - however, their existence is entirely bound to the underlying abstract model. This means that view models are automatically and incrementally maintained. Our contribution can also be interpreted as extending the concepts of derived features to derived objects, specified and maintained by incremental queries.
