Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring a switchgear includes: an input unit; a processing unit; and an output unit. The input unit provides the processing unit with a monitor infra-red image of a switchgear. The processing unit implements a machine learning classifier algorithm to analyse the monitor infra-red image and determine if there is one or more anomalous hot spots in the switchgear. The machine learning classifier algorithm has been trained based on a plurality of different training infra-red images, the plurality of training infra-red images including a plurality of synthetic infra-red images generated from a corresponding plurality of visible images. The output unit outputs information relating to the one or more anomalous hot spots.

Abstract: A method for training a prediction model includes obtaining training samples representing states of the process that do not cause the undesired event; obtaining based on a process model and a set of predetermined rules that stipulate states having an increased likelihood of the undesired event occurring; training samples representing states with an increased likelihood to cause the undesired event; providing samples to the to-be-trained prediction model to obtain a prediction of the likelihood for occurrence of the undesired event in a state of the process represented by the respective sample; rating a difference between the prediction and the label of the respective sample using a predetermined loss function; and optimizing parameters such that, when predictions are made, the rating by the loss function improves.

Abstract: A method includes acquiring state variables that characterize an operational state of an industrial plant; acquiring interaction events of a plant operator interacting with the distributed control system via a human-machine interface; determining based on the interaction events, and with state variables as input data, whether one or more interaction events are indicative of the plant operator executing a task that is not sufficiently covered by engineering of the distributed control system. When this determination is positive, mapping the input data to an amendment and/or augmentation for the engineering tool that has generated the application code.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a training data set for training an artificial intelligence module includes providing first and second data sets, the first data set including first data elements indicative of a first operational condition, the second data set including second data elements indicative of a second operational condition that matches the first operational condition. The method further comprises determining a data transformation for transforming the first data elements into the second data elements; applying the data transformation to the first data elements and/or to further data elements of further data sets, thereby generating a transformed data set; and generating a training data set for training the AI module based on at least a part of the transformed data set.
