Architecturing for Diagnosis at BigData Scale

Abstract:  Nowadays monitoring and fault detection has become increasingly important for improving the reliability and safety of Multistage Manufacturing Processes and thus a significant part of process engineering. As systems become more complex, model-based diagnosis become more and more restrictive which has promoted the use of data-driven solutions in the industry. Distributed computing environments make it both feasible and interesting to consider collections of heterogeneous sources in almost real-time.
In this presentation several common cloud based architectures will be analyzed and their impact on fault diagnosis will be discussed with the example of an electronic device production line. Human interaction in this process and how to unlock the full potential of big data related to the resistance of users to data-driven (or based) tools will be discussed.

Bio: Nathalie Barbosa Roa received a PhD in Control Systems and Electrical Engineering from University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France and Universidad Nacional, Bogota, Colombia, in 2016 after receiving the Electronic Engineering degree from Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas in 2008, and the M.Sc. degree in Industrial Automation from the Universidad Nacional in 2011, both in Colombia. She is now Data scientist and Big Data engineer at Continental Automotive France SAS.

The role of fault diagnosis in functional safety

Abstract: Since many years and without any doubts functional safety has been increasingly gaining in importance in almost all branches of industry. One can consider that it is actually one of the most particular and spectacular examples of achievements of fault diagnosis in engineering practice. Surprisingly, the knowledge of the main concepts of functional safety is not widely spread among the academic Fault Diagnosis Community.
The presentation narrows down basics, main ideas and issues of functional safety. Particular attention is paid both at invoking and emphasizing the role of fault diagnosis in functional safety. Diagnostic coverage, protective layers, risk reduction ratio, fault tolerance factor, safe failure fraction and safety integrity level will be explained and illustrated with examples. The design principles of Safety Instrumented Systems will be given together with their interaction with Basic Process Control Systems in sole, courtesy and mimic topologies. A concise example of a procedure to assess the safety integrity level of a hoisting winch will summarize the presentation.
