Proper maintenance of Cyber Physical Production systems (CPPS) has gained much more attention in the era of Industry 4.0. Selecting and implementing an optimal maintenance policy is a complex task and thus largely discussed in literature. Maintenance management has to consider all specific conditions and restrictions of an enterprise in order to identify the most suitable policy for a production system. Due to the fact that analytical approaches strongly rely on availability and quality of data, which is missing in various industrial use-cases, several studies prefer simulation-based optimization. Nevertheless, almost all data-driven and simulation-based models do not take long-term economic indicators such as profitability into account. This paper provides a simulation-based model, which enhances maintenance policy selection process with the aim to improve profitability. As a proof of concept, the model is applied in a real-world use case scenario and further research pathways on combining simulation-based and data-driven approaches are outlined.
Today, thanks to the advancement of robotics and the achievements that are made in the light of the development of automated and intelligent technologies, we are increasingly witnessing the arrival of robotic devices ...

The paper presents a case study related to the maintenance and on-site detection of faulty photovoltaic (PV) panels in a 14 years old on-grid system with a peak power of 17.82 kW from the National institute for Research and Development for Energy (INCDE ICEMENERG Bucharest) using a thermal camera, followed by the on-site measurement of the output power of a healthy and some PV panels with faults (hot spots and bypass activated diode) by Current-Voltage (I-V) and Power-Voltage (P-V) curves using an HT I-V 400. Laboratory tests were performed at Standard Test Condition (STC) at the National institute for Research and Development in Electrical Engineering ICPE-CA, Laboratory of Photovoltaic systems using a PASAN Highlight Solar Simulator for the same PV panels and also electroluminescence tests were performed in order to determine the cause of the faults. based on the results some panels can be repaired or changed with new ones in order to increase the PV system efficiency.

Human factors professionals voice concerns about the slow and uneven adoption of human-centered design (HCD) principles in healthcare. With good intentions and best efforts, human factors work in healthcare continues, but to understand and to be understood we must share a language that speaks to one another. One way to facilitate this understanding is by bringing attention to how we talk about decision-making approaches in medical ethics and HCD. Both disciplines suggest efforts should be participatory, guided by a set of principles applied thoughtfully, with critical consideration to context and trade-offs. Considering the connections between usability heuristics for design and medical ethical principles may offer a bridge between disciplines and their associated dialects. In this paper, we provide three representations mapping ethical principles to design principles, including usability heuristics: a word tree visualization, narrative passages, and a table format. We believe this mapping demonstrates both that ethical design is inherently human-centric and that human-centered design is ethical design.

A global planning algorithm for intelligent vehicles is designed based on the A* algorithm, which provides intelligent vehicles with a global path towards their destinations. A distributed real-time multiple vehicle collision avoidance(MVCA)algorithm is proposed by extending the reciprocal n-body collision avoidance method. MVCA enables the intelligent vehicles to choose their destinations and control inputs independently,without needing to negotiate with each other or with the coordinator. Compared to the centralized trajectory-planning algorithm, MVCA reduces computation costs and greatly improves the robustness of the system. Because the destination of each intelligent vehicle can be regarded as private, which can be protected by MVCA, at the same time MVCA can provide a real-time trajectory planning for intelligent vehicles. Therefore,MVCA can better improve the safety of intelligent vehicles. The simulation was conducted in MATLAB, including crossroads scene simulation and circular exchange position simulation. The results show that MVCA behaves safely and reliably. The effects of latency and packet loss on MVCA are also statistically investigated through theoretically formulating broadcasting process based on one-dimensional Markov chain. The results uncover that the tolerant delay should not exceed the half of deciding cycle of trajectory planning, and shortening the sending interval could alleviate the negative effects caused by the packet loss to an extent. The cases of short delay(< 100100 ms) and low packet loss(< 5%) can bring little influence to those trajectory planning algorithms that only depend on V2 V to sense the context, but the unpredictable collision may occur if the delay and packet loss are further worsened. The MVCA was also tested by a real intelligent vehicle, the test results prove the operability of MVCA.

The ICDOI (“Inner-City Distribution of Interest”) procedure described in this paper uses “knowledge Discovery from Text” to identify thematic focuses and trends from texts written in different locations in a city. Among other techniques, topic recognition and machine-based derived word associations are used.
