Abstract

The participants in the Industrial Edge ecosystem want extensive automatic integration mechanisms, if possible without interfering with currently common OPC UA software stacks. The OPC UA server applications cannot however be externally accessed without further measures so that the user has to balance the server ports between the application view and the edge device view and must in the process consider port conflicts and compliance with possible network environment restrictions, as well as the other parts of its automation application with the servers via the concrete network addressing information. It is proposed to produce an initial trust relationship (with a “certificate of origin”). This certificate of origin/initial trust relationship corresponds to the CA certificate of the provision entity. In addition, it is proposed to expand a combination of “proxy plus local directory service (Local Discovery Server,

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for supporting execution of batch production by a production system includes, over a sequence of steps: acquiring a system state defined by a shop floor status, inventory status and a demand of the product types, and processing the system state using a reinforcement learned policy including a deep learning model to output a control action defining an integer batch size of a selected product type. The control action is determined by using learned parameters of the deep learning model to compute logits for a categorical distribution of predicted product types and a categorical distribution of predicted batch sizes from the system state. The logits are processed to transform the categorical distribution of predicted product types into an encoding of the selected product type and reduce the categorical distribution of predicted batch sizes into an integer batch size, for producing a next batch on the shop floor.

Abstract

An AI-based method for visual inspection of parts manufactured on a shop floor includes acquiring a set of real images of nominal parts manufactured on the shop floor to create training datasets. A self-supervised pre-trainer module is used to pre-train a loss computation neural network in a self-supervised learning process using a first dataset on pretexts defined by real-world conditions pertaining to the shop floor. The first dataset is labeled by automatically extracting pretext-related information from image metadata. A main anomaly trainer module is used to train a main anomaly detection neural network to reconstruct a nominal part image from an input manufactured part image in an unsupervised learning process using a second dataset. The main anomaly training measures a perceptual loss between an input image and a reconstructed image by measuring a difference between feature representations thereof at one or more layers of the pre-trained loss computation neural network.

The corpus used during training of the LLM comprises modeling language materials, and knowledge graph language materials for describing field knowledge and modeling knowledge, wherein the modeling language materials are code segment language materials generated by a driving model, so that after training, the LLM has the functions of generating a knowledge graph of a modeling object on the basis of natural language features, and generating modeling codes on the basis of the generated knowledge graph of the modeling object. During subsequent modeling of the DES system, after the LLM generates the modeling codes on the basis of the natural language features, the modeling codes are mapped into a preset modeling library and are run, so as to output the DES system. In this way, the modeling accuracy and the modeling efficiency are improved, and the modeling of the DES system is also realized.

Antennas (A11-A14, A21-A24, A31-A34) allocated to different RFID readers or the same RFID reader are determined, the detection ranges of said antennas at least partially overlapping. On a graphical user interface of a control and monitoring unit (CFG) connected to the RFID readers via the communication network, the determined antennas with the at least partially overlapping detection ranges are flagged as being in conflict with one another. For the use of each antenna on the respective RFID reader for selecting or writing into RFID transponders, at least one cyclically repeating time window (T1-T4), which is allocated to the respective antenna, is reserved in each case. An allocation of the antennas which are in conflict with one another for the same time window is blocked.
