摘要:
It is an object of this invention to provide an apparatus that selects and specifies an optimal operating method for plant equipment while estimating risk-cost that relates to damage, performance deterioration, and functional stoppage, of the plant equipment, and comparing the risk-cost with profit gained from operation. To achieve the above objects, the apparatus comprises an operation request input unit that inputs information relating to operation request items of the plant equipment; an operating conditions setting unit that converts operation request input information, input by the operation request input unit, to operating parameters; an operation history creation unit that creates an operation history by chronologically processing the operating parameters, converted by the operating conditions setting unit, based on input from an operation monitoring unit that monitors operating states of the plant equipment; a breakdown statistics database that stores an event tree of the plant equipment in correlation with degrees of unreliability relating to breakdown events; an event simulator that calculates the degree of unreliability corresponding to the operating parameters, based on the information in the breakdown statistics database, the operation request information, and the operation history information, and in compliance with the event tree of the plant equipment; a risk-cost calculation unit that calculates risk-cost by determining the aggregate product of the degrees of unreliability and restoration costs in compliance with the event tree; an operating method determination unit that determines whether operating conditions are suitable by comparing the risk-cost with profit that is expected to be gained by continuing operation; and an operating method specification unit that specifies specific operation conditions for the plant equipment in accordance with the operating method determined by the operating method determination unit.

An apparatus for maintaining plant equipment incorporates an input unit to receive information on targets and ranges of plant equipment to be maintained and a failure-event tree breakdown unit to perform tree-breakdown on failures to be expected from events to be inspected. A failure-unreliability function calculation unit calculates unreliability of each item in failure-event tree breakdown and a failure-derived monetary loss calculation unit multiplies each unreliability and a cost of recovery from each event in accordance with the failure-event tree breakdown. A preventive maintenance expense calculation unit calculates preventive maintenance expenses for preventing failure events and a maintenance decision-making unit decides maintenance timing and technique through comparison between the recovery cost and the preventive maintenance expense.
摘要:
Data on inspection, diagnosis, repair and operation histories are entered in a plant-maintenance apparatus for equipment that constitute a plant to be maintained. Failure-event tree breakdown is performed on failures to be expected for the equipment. Unreliability is predicted of at least one starting item in the failure-event tree breakdown. Unreliability of each item in the failure-event tree is calculated based on a failure unreliability function. Unreliability and a cost of recovery from each failure event in the failure-event tree are multiplied and results of the multiplication are accumulated in accordance with the tree breakdown to obtain a recovery cost. Preventive maintenance expenses are calculated for preventing failure events. Maintenance timing and technique are decided through comparison between the recovery cost and the preventive maintenance expenses.

A dump truck includes a body and a plurality of cameras. The body includes an upper deck and a main frame disposed in a longitudinal direction. The cameras are configured and arranged to obtain images to be combined to generate a bird's-eye image to monitor a periphery of the dump truck. The cameras include a front camera, a rear camera and side cameras. The front camera is disposed at the front of the upper deck to obtain an image of an area in front of the body. The rear camera is disposed at a rear end of the main frame to obtain an image of an area in rear of the body. The side cameras are respectively provided on left and right sides of the upper deck to obtain images of an area between diagonally to the front and diagonally to the rear of the body.

摘要:
There is provided an image processing apparatus, an image display and an image processing method which are capable of preventing an unnatural change in image quality due to image processing. A luminance distribution detecting circuit detects a luminance distribution as the histogram distribution of YUV signals. A gain limiter levels out by limiting the frequency of the luminance histogram to a frequency threshold or less so as to reduce the concentration of the distribution on a specific luminance level segment. Then a γ correction circuit in the image processing section performs image processing (contrast control) on the YUV signals through the use of the luminance distribution leveled out.
