Collaborative Discrete Automation Systems Define the Factory of the FutureARC Advisory Group
The primary function of the Collaborative Discrete Automation System
(CDAS) architecture is to define the vision for the factory of the future and
to provide an architectural roadmap based on the prevailing business drivers
and emerging technologies for discrete manufacturing.
Manufacturing is moving into an era that requires levels of coordination
and collaboration that existing legacy systems will not be able to deliver. It
will be imperative that all the disparate organizations, business and manufacturing
processes, systems and applications that represent the
manufacturing enterprise be brought together within the context of an all
encompassing architecture. Future factories will be based on an entirely
different set of business drivers and emerging technologies. It will be incumbent
on manufacturers to set business plans and strategies into place
based on an architecture that captures these strategies and processes.

The Ripple Effect - The Power of Your Personal Brand in HRJoAnn Corley
Keynote for the HR Star conference in Cleveland & Atlanta
"We are not only the messengers, WE are the message..." Mark Gafni
Do you make the job description or does the job description make you? Do you limit the display of your talent based on your job description?
Personal branding is a powerful concept first introduced several years ago by management guru, Tom Peters. It suggests that each person has the opportunity to make an individual and unique impact within their organization via a personal brand.
In the world of HR, this premise could not be more compelling. Due to ever increasing professional
challenges, HR professionals need to operate from a more individually empowered place -- from intentional branding.
Intentional branding can uniquely position each HR professional to be more effective in executing
their responsibilities and is a critical resource to influence strategic partners and nurture business partner confidence.
Overall, a powerful, intentional personal brand can strategically touch every level of an organization creating a positive, constructive ripple effect! A powerful position coupled with great personal power can greatly impact a company's value and profitability! This is the call of the hour for every HR professional!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Jeremy carson nz oracle user group presentation an overview of enterprise asset management
1. Introduction to Oracle eAM
(Enterprise Asset Management)
and our implementation experiences
Jeremy Carson
Applications Manager
2. CMMS - Computerised Maintenance Management
System
Point Solution
e.g. Maximo, Mexx
or
ERP Integrated Solution
e.g Oracle E-Business Suite, JDE, Peoplesoft
or
Other
e.g. Excel
6. Solid Energy Overview – Energy Business
• Coal - Steel Production (Export / NZ Steel) Electricity Generation (Genesis)
- Domestic Industries (Fonterra / Holcim / Alliance / Silver Fern)
• Renewables – Wood pellets / Biodiesel / Solar
• New Energy – Coal Seam Gas, Coal to Fertiliser
7. Solid Energy Overview - People
• Approx 1200 employees nationwide, predominately in the Waikato, South
Island West Coast and Southland
• Approx 600 directly employed contractors
8. Solid Energy Overview - Assets
• An asset intensive business
• High focus on Health and Safety
• High focus on availability and utilisation of assets
• Predominately Mobile and Fixed Plant assets
15. Solid Energy Overview – Our eAM Install
• Have used Oracle eAM since 2003 as an early adopter on Oracle EBusiness Suite 11.5.7
• Now using Oracle E-Business Suite 12.0.6
• Currently have 6 live Oracle eAM sites/organisations
• System Statistics
-
15,000+ work orders per annum
2000+ maintained assets
4000+ preventative maintenance activities
5000+ maintenance purchase requisitions per annum
10000+ maintenance inventory issues per annum
17. Configuration Steps – Taxonomy document
• As part of solution design create a Taxonomy document, which defines;
• eAM organization parameters e.g. default WIP Accounting Class
• Key lookups e.g. Areas, Departments, Categories
• Define standards and naming conventions for key setup areas
- Asset Model e.g. Asset Number/Groups/Hierarchy/Categories
- Maintenance Tasks e.g. Activities, Activity Type/Source/Cause
- Work Management e.g. Work Order Type/Status/Priority
- Preventative Maintenance e.g. Meters, Schedules
• Taxonomy must understand system limitations e.g. Asset Number must be
unique
• Taxonomy is a living document…refine with subsequent implementations
• Successful taxonomy makes system intuitive for users
18. Configuration Steps – Solution Design document
• Document how Oracle eAM will deliver each business process e.g. Asset
Breakdown to Work Order creation
• Swim lane the business process across business roles e.g. maintenance,
procurement, stores
• Detailed application mapping to requirements for each process step
• Review regularly and iteratively with key maintenance personnel
• Develop Proof of Concepts to assist with design validation and acceptance
20. Asset Model - Asset Numbers
•
•
•
•
Asset Numbers are the key entity in eAM
Mostly represent physical assets
Can be virtual assets in asset hierarchy for roll-up/grouping
Assets are setup either as a;
- Capital Asset or
- Rebuildable Inventory Components which rotate on/off Capital Assets and are
repaired/refurbished in between.
• Asset Numbers exist in separate register (using Oracle Install Base) than
the Fixed Asset register
• Asset Numbers can be linked to a single Fixed Asset Number
TIP: Asset Numbers must be unique through the system
Consider physical asset naming and common sites names
23. Asset Model - Asset Groups
• Each Asset belongs to an Asset Group
• Many key configurations driven by Asset Group
- Asset Bills of Materials – Typical materials used for maintenance
- Templates – Provides automatic creation of Preventative Maintenance
configuration e.g. Activities, Meters, Schedules
- Asset Attributes – Storage of additional asset information
- Failure Analysis – Failure, Cause and Resolution
• Define groups to represent virtually identical assets, in terms of materials
and preventative maintenance e.g. Make and Model combination.
TIP: Asset Groups must be unique through the system
25. Asset Model - Asset Hierarchy
• Assets belong in a hierarchy
• Each Asset has a Parent Asset
• Establishes a roll-up mechanism for;
-
Cost reporting
Preventative Maintenance forecasting
Searches
Maintenance and failure history
• Virtual assets at top of hierarchy to deliver meaningful rollups;
- Production or process affinity
- Geographical or physical location
29. Maintenance Tasks - Activities
• Activities are predefined Maintenance work to be completed
• Generally routine work e.g. exchange pump, replace tyres or preventative
maintenance work e.g. services / inspections
• Activities define the following
- Tasks – More detailed tasks of the predefined work
- Bills of Materials – Required materials
- Routings – Required labour or equipment
- File attachments – Such as service sheet, diagrams, safety procedures
• Create Activity Association Template to associate to an Asset Group
or associate to an individual Asset
32. Work Management – Work Requests
• Simple interface to capture reactive Maintenance work
• Can go through approval process, then be assigned to Work Orders
34. Work Management – Work Orders
• Work Orders represent specific instances of Maintenance work for an asset
• Created in the following ways;
- Manually i.e. unplanned / corrective work
- Automatically by Preventative Maintenance forecast
- Automatically from Condition Based monitoring (via Oracle Quality)
• Work Orders record maintenance history and planned and actual costs
• Work Orders must have;
- Asset associated
- One or more Tasks i.e. Operations
- Scheduled Start / End Time
• Work Orders can have;
- Predefined Work assigned i.e. Activity
- Material requirements i.e. Stock, Non Stock, Requisitions
- Labour requirements i.e. Trade resource
37. Work Management – Completion
• Completion updates Last Service information e.g. 250hr service
completed at 12,500 hrs on 01-Feb-2010
• Prevents further costs being coded to the Work Order
• Captures the following information;
- Actual Start and End time
- Job Notes
- Failure Analysis
40. Preventative Maintenance - Schedules
• Define when activities should occur for an Asset or Asset Group
• Defined to occur by;
- Date Rules – every 7 days
- Meter Rules – every 50 hours, 10000 km’s
- List Dates – on 01-Jan-2011
• Work forecasts from Last Service Information i.e. when activity was last
completed for the asset
- Date Rules – on 01-Jan-2010
- Meter Rules – at 2000 hours
- Combinations of the above
• Single definition can schedule multiple activities which share a common
base interval
• Schedules can include suppression e.g. 250hr service suppresses 50hr service
if its forecast within 20 hours of it
42. Preventative Maintenance - Meters
• Meters used to schedule activities
• Ascending meters e.g. kilometres, hours
• Fluctuating meters e.g. temperature, pressure, vibration
• Meter hierarchies allowing parent meter to increment children e.g. truck
hours increments rim hours
44. Preventative Maintenance - Forecasting
• Forecasting generates Work Orders as per schedules
• Forecasts for a specified maintenance window e.g. next 14 days
• Can perform online or as a concurrent program
• Can selectively forecasts groups of assets
48. Cost Management – WIP Accounting Class (WAC)
• WIP Accounting Classes (WAC) define accounting rules
• Single GL accounts defined for Material and Resource transactions
• Limited capability for complex accounting requirements
• Default WAC for Organisation
• Can be superseded by WAC configured against the at Asset, Activity or
Work Order
49. Cost Management – Actual to Planned Costs
• Planned Costs built up on Work Order using
- Materials – Defaulted from Activity BOM or manually requested
- Labour – Defaulted from Activity Routing or manually requested
• Actual Costs accumulate on Work Order from
- Stores inventory issues to Work Order
- Purchase requisition (Direct Item) receipts
- Maintenance Resource transactions
- Invoice Price Variances (PO Matching)
• Cost Analysis can then be performed in multiple ways, such as;
- Asset using Hierarchy
- Work Order
- By Activity
52. Key Experiences – What we have achieved
• A single maintenance system throughout the organization
• Better integration between stores and maintenance
• Comprehensive asset and component history
• Focus on preventative maintenance, driving better asset reliability
• Better management of maintenance workload
• Standardised asset information and maintenance procedures
• Ability to analyse asset and maintenance department performance
53. Key experiences – Maintenance Staff Involvement
• Maintenance staff involvement essential throughout implementation lifecycle
• Creates required buy-in for successful business transition and adoption
• Select “right” person carefully
- Positive / Seeks improvement i.e. this is something new, but we should use
- Resilient / Can do attitude i.e. that not ideal but we can make it work
- Well Respected i.e. will lead others to accept solution and advocate it
• Ensure the maintenance team is well trained and supported once live
54. Key experiences – Data load
• Data load is manual, complicated and time consuming
• Limited open interfaces
- Items (Asset Group, Activities) / Asset Number / Meter Reading
• Now several more APIs in R12
- Maintenance Object (Asset Number) / Activity / Preventative Maintenance
• We have built custom Excel templates and used DataLoad utility
• Have final dataset loaded for UAT, you will get many useful “corrections”
55. Key experiences – Reporting
• Standard reports are “limited”
• Develop a custom Work Order, probably in BI Publisher now
• Develop suite of reports to meet user requirements
• We developed Discoverer reports, some examples;
-
Asset Hierarchy / History / Availability
Asset / Work Order costing – by Hierarchy
Asset / Work Order Material Requirements
Asset Failure Analysis
Key Performance e.g. Planned Versus Unplanned, Maintenance backlog
Configuration reports e.g. BOMS, Activities, Schedules
• Other off the shelf options worth investigating
- Oracle eAM Daily Business Intelligence
- Vizaya WorkAlign® Analytics
- Signum EAM Analytics™
57. Key experiences – Subledger Accounting
• “Get around” limitation of single material and labour GL accounts
• We use Subledger Accounting to re-code;
- Expense Account – Based on Item/PO Category
- Asset Account – Based on Flexfield held against Asset Number
• Not too complicated once you have a working prototype
• Use some consulting initially to get initial setup working
58. Key experiences – Usability
• Release 12 Self Service is a dramatic improvement
• Maintenance Supervisors can work solely in Self Service
• Personalisation can de-clutter Self Service
• Consider customisation for “pain points”
59. Questions ?
• Ask now if we have time
• Come see me afterwards
• Email me after the conference jeremy.carson@solidenergy.co.nz
