    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and method for managing material balance between incoming and outgoing streams of material in an industrial system. A method may include providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a system administrator to generate a visual model of the industrial system that includes (1) elements that are interconnected in the industrial system, and (2) streams including at least one incoming stream of material to each element and at least one outgoing stream of material from each element. The method may include receiving, via the GUI, a plurality of parameters of the elements and the streams such as material chemistry, user demand of each user element of the user elements, and flowrate for each stream of the streams. The method may include determining a category of each stream and automatically balancing, by a processor, incoming and outgoing streams for each element.

    摘要: A scheduling method using a knowledge graph (KG) performs following steps by a processor: obtaining an initial scheduling solution of the production system; converting the initial scheduling solution into triples to form the KG, each triples includes two entities and a relationship of the production system, the two entities indicate two production resources; embedding triples into a vector space to generate embedded vectors by a KG embedding technique; generating embedded vector combinations according to the embedded vectors and computing a distance of each of embedded vector combinations; and performing a scheduling algorithm to generate a target scheduling solution according to the embedded vector combinations, and providing reference information when the scheduling algorithm generates a schedule of a station, wherein the reference information comprises at least one of the embedded vector combinations associated with the station, and the distance corresponding to said at least one embedded vector combinations.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support mechanisms for generating a feasible assembly plan for a product based on data analytics. In aspects, information on components of a product is obtained from one or more product models (e.g., a three-dimensional (3D) computer aided design (CAD) model) that define the individual components of the product. The individual component information may be used to represent the assembly of the product as an assembly graph, in which each node of the assembly graph represents one of the components of the product to be assembled. The assembly graph is passed through a set of data analytics modules to generate the feasible assembly plan, or assembly sequence, as a series of sequential contact predictions, wherein each contact prediction identifies a component to be connected to one or more other components of the product.

    摘要: In example embodiments, a multi-stage PFS diagram generation technique is used to iteratively define the layout of a PFS diagram from a subset of engineering data in a 3D model of an industrial process. The multi-stage PFS diagram generation technique may repeatedly call an automatic layout generator, which each time solves for one unknown quality of the PFS diagram (e.g., relative positions of components in the PFS diagram, positions on components in the PFS diagram, sizes of the components in the PFS diagram). The PFS diagram may be adapted based on user preferences, for example to define the subset of engineering data, or to constrain aspects of its layout. Updated PFS diagrams may be generated by selecting different user preferences.

    摘要: An automatic inspection system includes a wireless slave device and a wireless master device. The wireless slave device includes a sound collection unit that collects sound generated from an inspection target object, an analysis unit that analyzes the collected sound to obtain a degree of difference between the collected sound and normal sound learned in advance and sound state information of the collected sound, as an analysis result, a wireless communication unit that wirelessly transmits data including the analysis results to a wireless master device, and a power supply unit that supplies power to the sound collection unit, the analysis unit, and the wireless communication unit. The wireless master device is configured to perform processing of receiving and managing the data from the wireless slave device, and transmitting the analysis result extracted from the data to a monitoring terminal that monitors a state of the inspection target object.

    摘要: Methods and systems for cleaning process sequence management are provided. An indication is received from a client device of a sequence of cleaning operations associated with a substrate process at a manufacturing system. An indication of one or more cleaning criteria that trigger initiation of the sequence of cleaning operations during a cleaning process at a process chamber of the manufacturing system is also received. A set of instructions corresponding to the sequence of cleaning operations is generated. In response to a detection that at least one of the one or more cleaning criteria is satisfied, the generated set of instructions are executed to initiate the sequence of cleaning operations at the process chamber.
