During the operation and maintenance (O&M) of BIPV, BES, and BEF, various knowledge is contained and generated. This highlights information interaction among systems and the demand for incorporating diverse domain knowledge. However, these systems remain relatively isolated during O&M and suffer from inadequate machine-readable knowledge representation. In the era of semantic web technology, ontology-based methods are promising to integrate heterogeneous information. This study developed a domain ontology named “BIPV-BES-BEF” to integrate BIPV, BES, and BEF O&M information by enriching ontology semantics through relevant standards and leveraging existing ontology resources. In the process ontology construction, classes associated with BIPV, BES, and BEF were initially identified from relevant ontologies based on concepts in authorized codes. The classes with high cosine similarity within these recognized classes were subsequently integrated. Concepts and rules concerning the O&M of BIPV, BES, and BEF from relevant standards were then incorporated to the ontology and semantic web rules. The resulting ontology consists of a total of 2595 axioms and 649 classes, encompassing comprehensive concepts related to BIPV, BES, and BEF components, system specifics, assessment criteria, as well as O&M elements. The built ontology was assessed to be coherent and capable of reasoning through the built knowledge. This study contributes to an ontology purposing BIPV, BES, and BEF O&M, highlighting the potential of ontology-based approaches in BIPV, BES, and BEF data integration and knowledge inference.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55219,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Industry","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 104250"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our review reveals a consensus that an HDT’s twinned entity is a human individual. However, there is little agreement on the data flows between the individual and their HDT. We address this shortcoming by proposing three categories based on the level of data integration: Human Digital Models, Human Digital Shadows, and Human Digital Twins. Finally, we synthesise our findings in a domain-agnostic general definition for HDT. We highlight an edge case where the twinned entity is a human individual alongside a strongly coupled technical system, and name it augmented Human Digital Twin (aHDT). The definition and categorisation scheme provide the needed conceptual clarity for inter-disciplinary collaboration to address open challenges. Notable challenges are sensing human data, reliable data transfers and modelling, especially behavioural modelling.

The problem is multi-fold when ideal sensor attachment locations are unavailable due to spatial constraints of industrial floors. The response component reflective of the fault information must be enhanced for adequate fault severity estimations. The present study addresses this hurdle by proposing a multi-sensor framework with available sensor attachment locations for gearbox condition monitoring. Adaptive filtering is done in the framework with parameters optimised to enhance fault information. A proximal policy optimisation agent is trained with a reinforcement learning environment for parameter refinement. Further, fault severity estimation is achieved by a weighted fusion of spectral features reflective of the side-band excitation effect caused by gear fault.

The PCB production cycle time is essential for optimizing production plans. However, the design of the PCB, production line configuration, order combinations, and personnel factors make the prediction of the PCB production cycle time difficult. In addition, practical production situations with significant disturbances in feature data make traditional prediction models inaccurate, especially when there is new data. Therefore, we establishe a WDRL model, derive a tight upper bound for the expected loss function, and reformulate a tractable equivalent model based on the bound. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, we collected data related to surface mounted technology (SMT) production lines from a leading global display manufacturer for our computational experiments. In addition, we also designed experiments with perturbations in the training and testing datasets to verify the WDRL model’s ability to handle perturbations. This proposed method has also been compared with other machine learning methods, such as the support vector regression combined with symbiotic organism search, decision tree, and kernel extreme learning machine, among others. Experimental results indicate that the WDRL model can make robust predictions of PCB cycle time, which helps to effectively plan production capacity in uncertain situations and avoid overproduction or underproduction. Finally, we implement the WDRL model for the actual SMT production to predict the production cycle time and set it as the target for production.

In recent years, continuous technological innovation and advancements in semiconductor-industry processes have led to an increase in unknown defect patterns, which must be detected and classified. However, detection of unknown defect patterns is difficult due to complex reasons, such as training on non-existent defect classes, closed datasets owing to industrial security, and labeling large volumes of manufacturing data. Owing to these challenges, methods for detecting unknown defect patterns in an actual semiconductor-manufacturing environment primarily rely on qualitative indicators, such as intuition and experience of engineers. To overcome these problems, this study proposes a methodology based on open-set recognition to accurately detect unknown defect patterns. This methodology begins with two preprocessing steps: constrained mean filtering (C-mean filtering); and Radon transform to diminish noise and efficiently extract features from wafer-bin maps. This study then develops an entropy-estimation one-class support vector machine (EEOC-SVM), which accounts for the uncertainty in the one-class SVM classification results. EEOC-SVM computes entropy-uncertainty scores based on the distance between decision boundaries and samples and then reclassifies uncertain samples using a weighted sum of uncertainties for each class. This method can effectively detect unknown defect patterns. The proposed method achieves a detection performance of over 98 % for various defect classes based on experiments conducted with new defect patterns occurring in actual semiconductor-manufacturing environments.
