In recent years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, to improving maintenance. Time is a critical factor in maintenance, and efforts are placed to monitor, analyze, and visualize machine or asset data in order to anticipate to any possible failure, prevent damage, and save costs. The MANTIS Book aims to highlight the underpinning fundamentals of Condition-Based Maintenance related conceptual ideas, an overall idea of preventive maintenance, the economic impact and technical solution. The core content of this book describes the outcome of the Cyber-Physical System based Proactive Collaborative Maintenance project, also known as MANTIS, and funded b...
Engineering Asset Management discusses state-of-the-art trends and developments in the emerging field of engineering asset management as presented at the Fourth World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM). It is an excellent reference for practitioners, researchers and students in the multidisciplinary field of asset management, covering such topics as asset condition monitoring and intelligent maintenance; asset data warehousing, data mining and fusion; asset performance and level-of-service models; design and life-cycle integrity of physical assets; deterioration and preservation models for assets; education and training in asset management; engineering standards in asset management; fault diagnosis and prognostics; financial analysis methods for physical assets; human dimensions in integrated asset management; information quality management; information systems and knowledge management; intelligent sensors and devices; maintenance strategies in asset management; optimisation decisions in asset management; risk management in asset management; strategic asset management; and sustainability in asset management.
Machine vision technology has created a strong interest among research organizations, resulting in many innovative products. Despite this end users have been very skeptical towards machine vision and its robustness in harsh industrial environments. This book presents the results of a national machine vision technology program aimed at boosting research and putting research results to work in practical industrial applications. The topics to be covered include image acquisition, analysis of surface color and texture, applications of machine vision in surface inspection and process control, 3-D measurements, and CAD-based machine vision.

The text discusses the latest data-driven, physics-based, and hybrid approaches employed in each stage of industrial prognostics and reliability estimation. It will be a useful text for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in areas such as industrial and production engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. The book Discusses basic as well as advance research in the field of prognostics. Explores integration of data collection, fault detection, degradation modeling and reliability prediction in one volume. Covers prognostics and health management (PHM) of engineering systems. Discusses latest approaches in the field of prognostics based on machine learning. The text deals with tools and techniques used to predict/ extrapolate/ forecast the process behavior, based on current health state assessment and future operating conditions with the help of Machine learning. It will serve as a useful reference text for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in areas such as industrial and production engineering, manufacturing science, electrical engineering, and computer science.
This book gathers select contributions from the 32nd International Congress and Exhibition on Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Engineering Management (COMADEM 2019), held at the University of Huddersfield, UK in September 2019, and jointly organized by the University of Huddersfield and COMADEM International. The aim of the Congress was to promote awareness of the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary areas of condition monitoring and diagnostic engineering management. The contents discuss the latest tools and techniques in the multidisciplinary field of performance monitoring, root cause failure modes analysis, failure diagnosis, prognosis, and proactive management of industrial systems. There is a special focus on digitally enabled asset management and covers several topics such as condition monitoring, maintenance, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and other allied areas. Bringing together expert contributions from academia and industry, this book will be a valuable resource for those interested in latest condition monitoring and asset management techniques.
Kun teini-ikäisen Terhin perhe ostaa vanhan huvilan, Terhi ei ole asiasta innoissaan. Hänen mielestään ränsistyneessä rakennuksessa on jotain pelottavaa. Terhi lähtee kuitenkin kesäksi huvilalle veljensä kanssa. Osasyynä saattaa olla se, että Terhi saa ratsastaa lähistöllä asuvan sukulaisen hevosella niin paljon kuin vain haluaa... Huvila ei kuitenkaan jätä Terhiä rauhaan. Häntä alkaa ihmetyttää talossa oleva taulu, joka kuvaa nuorta tyttöä. Mistä se on oikein peräisin? Kuka sen on ostanut? Huvilan lähistöllä alkaa tapahtua myös muita kummallisia asioita. Kummitteleeko talossa oikeasti, niin kuin alueen perinnetieto väittää? Hopearatsu on jännittävä nuortenkirja Ritva Toivolalta. Kirjailija Ritva Toivola (1942–2016) oli fantasian ystävä. Hän kirjoitti useita lasten- ja nuorten fantasiakirjoja. Kirjailijan työn lisäksi Toivola työskenteli myös kustannustoimittajana.
This proceedings of the 13th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management covers a range of topics that are timely, relevant and practically important in the modern digital era towards safer, cost effective, efficient, and secure engineered assets such as production and manufacturing plants, process facilities, civil structures, equipment, machinery, and infrastructure. It has compiled some pioneering work by domain experts of the global Engineering Asset Management community representing both public and private sectors. The professional coverage of the book includes: Asset management in Industry 4.0; Standards and models; Sustainable assets and processes; Life cycle perspectives; Smart and safer assets; Applied data science; Workplace safety; Asset health; Advances in equipment condition monitoring; Critical asset processes; and Innovation strategy and entrepreneurship The breadth and depth of these state-of-the-art, comprehensive proceedings make them an excellent resource for asset management practitioners, researchers and academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.
