Michael Brundage, Ph.D. and Brian Weiss, Ph.D., NIST
The
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), in collaboration with the
National Institute of Standards and Technology, hosted a “Workshop on Advanced
Monitoring, Diagnostic, and Prognostic Technologies”, on June 8-9, 2017, at the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. The purpose of
the workshop was to bring together key subject matter experts to identify
manufacturing needs and wants with respect to advanced monitoring, diagnostic,
and prognostic technologies (collectively known as Prognostics and Health
Management (PHM)), along with ways of verifying and validating their
performance to enhance maintenance and control strategies within manufacturing
operations at the factory‐floor.
The
link to the corresponding workshop report [1] is included below. The report
documents the two-day event with details on specific topic areas of interest.
The findings from these workshops provide a foundation from which future methods,
standards, and guidelines will be built.
The
second workshop on this topic was recently held at the 2017 Annual Conference
of the PHM Society in St. Petersburg, Florida (http://www.phmsociety.org/events/conference/phm/17)
and a companion report is forthcoming.
NIST
is hosting the third forum on this topic in May 2018 and is inviting subject
matter experts to attend and participate.
Industry Forum: Monitoring,
Diagnostics, and Prognostics for Manufacturing Operations
Moving from “React and Repair”
to “Predict and Prevent”
When/Where: May 7 – 11, 2018 at
NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.
This event will bring together
leaders in Industry, Government, and Academia to discuss the current trends,
successes, challenges, and needs with respect to advanced monitoring,
diagnostic, and prognostic technologies to enhance maintenance and control
strategies within manufacturing operations. Discussion will include the
current and emerging capabilities and challenges with respect to designing,
deploying, verifying, and validating monitoring, diagnostic, and prognostic
technologies for manufacturing operations including those involving
interconnected, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
Attendees will benefit by:
- Hearing the latest success stories from manufacturers who have reduced their equipment/process downtime, decreased their maintenance costs and defective part counts, increased their productivity and profits, maintained (or improved) their quality, and/or reaped other benefits and savings through implementing advanced monitoring, diagnostic, and prognostic technologies
- Learning about the latest advances at the factory floor level in monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics, including active research efforts at NIST and other organizations
- Understanding how technological challenges were overcome to implement monitoring, diagnostic, and prognostic technologies
- Networking with other industry professionals who have achieved similar successes, face comparable challenges, and/or can offer solutions
- Providing critical input to an ASME committee focused on producing standards and/or guidelines to support monitoring, diagnostic, and prognostic technologies at the factory floor level
This event is open to everyone
that would like to attend; the website is open for prospective participants to
submit their abstracts (so they may be considered for a presentation or panel).
