Current Automation Purchasing Strategies Fall Short
End users today have a paradoxical relationship with their suppliers. Primary
business drivers in today’s environment include maximizing asset
utilization, enhancing plant performance, and reducing capital, maintenance,
and operational expenditures, but many manufacturers employ
purchasing strategies and supplier relationship management strategies developed
during the heyday of the 1980s. Rather than
focusing on achievement of today’s objectives, the
current environment is characterized by an approach
that relies primarily on initial cost, driving discounts
off list price, and failure to employ a lifecycle costing
perspective.

Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the WayARC Advisory Group
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.

Component Based Solutions Well Aligned with Needs of Service Logistics Providers
Service Logistics supply chains are very dynamic. Achieving customer satisfaction
depends not only delivering the right parts, but also the right
people, the right tools and the right information to the right place at the
right time. Two Service Logistics providers, TNT and IMI Bevcore, concluded
that in order to effectively enable their processes,
they had to implement logistics software
based on component-assembly architectures.

Combined Fluid Power and Mechatronic Technology Optimizes Solutions
Current electro-hydraulic actuation products employ technologies that
provide greater functionalities and practically eliminate many drawbacks of
hydraulics. Additionally, some new electro-hydraulic actuators on the
market today come as a highly integrated unit
with advanced electronic control and plug and
play design for modern distributed architecture.
These advancements in electro-hydraulics technology
create opportunities for users to optimize
their investments in automation solutions by selectively
using both electric and electro-hydraulic
actuation.
Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and StrategiesARC Advisory Group
Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and Strategies
Capital asset management is once again becoming a key managerial concern.
Organizations that have been focusing on developing new products,
expanding services, and making supply chains super-efficient are now facing
challenging markets and expensive overcapacity. Survival demands
that they reduce their cost basis and capital assets, one of their largest expenses,
which are becoming the target for these efforts.
Discussions about postponing asset purchases and eliminating non-critical
assets are dominating many executive agendas. But lack of information
makes any decision a gamble. The importance of an effective capital asset
management strategy that minimizes the need for such discussions and
enables executives to confidently make necessary
decisions is becoming painfully clear.
Manufacturers are used to market swings and frequently
adjust their product inventories to match
reduced demand forecasts. The rapidity of this
“inventory alignment” for the current situation is
clear testament to the effectiveness of new supply
chain management technology. But the persistence
of this slowdown is forcing all organizations
to consider the more complex issue of “structural
Closing the Gap on Digital Manufacturing
The concurrent engineering required for new product designs between design
engineering and manufacturing engineering has always been a critical
focal point for manufacturers to shorten time-to-market, accelerate time-tovolume,
and minimize cost of production. Today, collaboration between
product design (CAD) and manufacturing processes
(CAM) is a robust process due to tight
integration between CAD and CAM and the emergence
of extended PDM and PLM systems.
However, there has not been a corresponding
level of tight integration between CAD/CAM and
production management. But the benefits of exchanging
information between the product
definition domain and production management are becoming clear as
manufacturers move to a collaborative environment. Two leading PLM
suppliers, EDS and IBM/Dassault, have recently launched new programs
to integrate these disparate domains.

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.

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!
