Quality inspection applications in industry are required to move towards a zero-defect manufacturing scenario, with non-destructive inspection and traceability of 100% of produced parts. Developing robust fault detection ...

Industrial discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) are commonly modeled by means of Petri nets (PNs). PNs have the capability to model behaviors such as concurrency, synchronization, and resource sharing, compared to a step ...

In an automated industrial environment, a large volume of data and signals is available, both from sensors and actuators in machinery and from the interaction with operators and users. Operation diagnosis can have multiple ...

The emergence of software tools for testing control programs and virtual commissioning (VC) in industrial automation projects makes it possible to shorten lead times and improve product quality, but it also brings to light ...

Lead times are key to good market positioning of providers of automated solutions based on a programmable logic controller (PLC). Testing control software against a digital twin (DT) of the process, any programming errors ...
