Movement Analytics: Current Status, Application to Manufacturing, and Future Prospects from an AI Perspective
Data-driven decision making is becoming an integral part of manufacturing
companies. Data is collected and commonly used to improve efficiency and
produce high quality items for the customers. IoT-based and other forms of
object tracking are an emerging tool for collecting movement data of
objects/entities (e.g. human workers, moving vehicles, trolleys etc.) over
space and time. Movement data can provide valuable insights like process
bottlenecks, resource utilization, effective working time etc. that can be used
for decision making and improving efficiency.
Turning movement data into valuable information for industrial management and
decision making requires analysis methods. We refer to this process as movement
analytics. The purpose of this document is to review the current state of work
for movement analytics both in manufacturing and more broadly.
We survey relevant work from both a theoretical perspective and an
application perspective. From the theoretical perspective, we put an emphasis
on useful methods from two research areas: machine learning, and logic-based
knowledge representation. We also review their combinations in view of movement
analytics, and we discuss promising areas for future development and
application. Furthermore, we touch on constraint optimization.
From an application perspective, we review applications of these methods to
movement analytics in a general sense and across various industries. We also
describe currently available commercial off-the-shelf products for tracking in
manufacturing, and we overview main concepts of digital twins and their
applications
Exploring Decomposition for Solving Pattern Mining Problems
This article introduces a highly efficient pattern mining technique called Clustering-based Pattern Mining (CBPM). This technique discovers relevant patterns by studying the correlation between transactions in the transaction database based on clustering techniques. The set of transactions is first clustered, such that highly correlated transactions are grouped together. Next, we derive the relevant patterns by applying a pattern mining algorithm to each cluster. We present two different pattern mining algorithms, one applying an approximation-based strategy and another based on an exact strategy. The approximation-based strategy takes into account only the clusters, whereas the exact strategy takes into account both clusters and shared items between clusters. To boost the performance of the CBPM, a GPU-based implementation is investigated. To evaluate the CBPM framework, we perform extensive experiments on several pattern mining problems. The results from the experimental evaluation show that the CBPM provides a reduction in both the runtime and memory usage. Also, CBPM based on the approximate strategy provides good accuracy, demonstrating its effectiveness and feasibility. Our GPU implementation achieves significant speedup of up to 552Ă on a single GPU using big transaction databases.publishedVersio
5th International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics (CARMA 2023)
Research methods in economics and social sciences are evolving with the increasing availability of Internet and Big Data sources of information. As these sources, methods, and applications become more interdisciplinary, the 5th International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics (CARMA) is a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and advances on how emerging research methods and sources are applied to different fields of social sciences as well as to discuss current and future challenges.MartĂnez Torres, MDR.; Toral MarĂn, S.

Advanced Process Monitoring for Industry 4.0
This book reports recent advances on Process Monitoring (PM) to cope with the many challenges raised by the new production systems, sensors and âextreme dataâ conditions that emerged with Industry 4.0. Concepts such as digital-twins and deep learning are brought to the PM arena, pushing forward the capabilities of existing methodologies to handle more complex scenarios. The evolution of classical paradigms such as Latent Variable modeling, Six Sigma and FMEA are also covered. Applications span a wide range of domains such as microelectronics, semiconductors, chemicals, materials, agriculture, as well as the monitoring of rotating equipment, combustion systems and membrane separation processes
Implementing Industry 4.0 in SMEs
This open access book addresses the practical challenges that Industry 4.0 presents for SMEs. While large companies are already responding to the changes resulting from the fourth industrial revolution , small businesses are in danger of falling behind due to the lack of examples, best practices and established methods and tools. Following on from the publication of the previous book âIndustry 4.0 for SMEs: Challenges, Opportunities and Requirementsâ, the authors offer in this new book innovative results from research on smart manufacturing, smart logistics and managerial models for SMEs. Based on a large scale EU-funded research project involving seven academic institutions from three continents and a network of over fifty small and medium sized enterprises, the book reveals the methods and tools required to support the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 along with practical examples
Advanced Knowledge Application in Practice
The integration and interdependency of the world economy leads towards the creation of a global market that offers more opportunities, but is also more complex and competitive than ever before. Therefore widespread research activity is necessary if one is to remain successful on the market. This book is the result of research and development activities from a number of researchers worldwide, covering concrete fields of research
Chesapeake Governance Study: Report of 2021 Decision Maker Interview Results
This report describes the aggregate results from a series of interviews conducted with decision makers involved in governance of the Chesapeake Watershed. Interviews began in June and ended in December of 2021. Information collected will be combined with other data to create and then test a computer model to predict likely policy changes under a range of future scenarios. It is part of a larger project funded by the National Science Foundation called Modeling the Dynamics of Human and Estuarine Systems with Regulatory Feedbacks (Award #2009248). Using the Chesapeake Bay as an example, this project will combine the policy model that we are designing with biophysical models to predict how social, economic and policy changes impact water quality, and how changes in water quality influence human behavior and decision-making
