TPM helps you plan and develop the optimal program for your facility, resulting in increased efficiencies and cost savings
Faster and more reliable reporting for a Fortune 500 consumer goods company.Mindtree Ltd.
Multinational fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) enterprises need robust reporting on areas such as management, financial, and incurred cost to effectively manage their complex, geographically dispersed businesses. Here is how Mindtree helped.
In 2017, the World Economic Forum recognized the potential of advanced manufacturing technologies. In 2018, from among more than 1,000 examined production facilities, 16
companies were recognized as Fourth Industrial Revolution leaders in advanced manufacturing for demonstrating step-change results, both operational and financial, across individual sites. They had succeeded in scaling beyond the pilot phase and their sites were designated advanced manufacturing “Lighthouses”. In 2019, 28 additional facilities were identified and added to the network, which now provides an opportunity for cross-company learning and collaboration, and for setting new benchmarks for the global manufacturing community.
Lighthouses have succeeded by innovating new operating systems, including in how they manage and optimize business and processes, transforming the way people work and use technology. These new operating systems can become the blueprint for modernizing the entire company operating system; therefore, how they prepare for scaling up and engaging the workforce matters.
Predictive Maintenance vs Preventive MaintenanceMobility Work
Whether your business is small, medium or large, effective equipment maintenance is crucial. The CMMS market is flooded with solutions promising cost and time savings but also demanding a solid investment. Every maintenance professional will tell you that predictive and preventive maintenance are absolutely worth it and of highest importance for asset management.
But how to choose the right maintenance strategy for your equipment according to your budget?

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

FITMACHINE DEPLOYMENT SAVES
40 HOURS OF LOST PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION
With a motivated interest to
implement a step-change in
their asset lifecycle
management, Matrix Polymers
took a proactive approach
towards equipment reliability
in 2019.
Undertaking a FitMachine
pilot through the AMGC
program, the management
teams identified FitMachine’s
continuous condition
monitoring as a solution that
could increase production
visibility and allow for remote
monitoring.
Only two months into
monitoring, FitMachine
detected and alerted
“The first alarm came through at 1am. My supervisor was a little dubious, but,
upon further investigation, found a faulty bearing.”

CASE STUDY SNAPSHOT
Matrix Polymers of a
significant change in
equipment health in one of
the companies’ pulverisers,
a critical equipment piece
for the national production.
The maintenance and
production teams
welcomed the alert as with
further investigation they
discovered a critical
bearing was deteriorating.
FitMachine’s pickup
prevented a serious
production failure and
avoided an estimated 40-
hour downtime during one
of the busiest periods of
the year.
