    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring a switchgear includes: an input unit; a processing unit; and an output unit. The input unit provides the processing unit with a monitor infra-red image of a switchgear. The processing unit implements a machine learning classifier algorithm to analyse the monitor infra-red image and determine if there is one or more anomalous hot spots in the switchgear. The machine learning classifier algorithm has been trained based on a plurality of different training infra-red images, the plurality of training infra-red images including a plurality of synthetic infra-red images generated from a corresponding plurality of visible images. The output unit outputs information relating to the one or more anomalous hot spots.

    Abstract: A method for analysing process data related to a segment of a production process includes providing a process data sequence of the segment of the production process exhibiting a data pattern of at least one process variable to be analyzed; providing a set of metadata; determining process data sequences, which are stored in a first database; determining a start timestamp and end timestamp of each of the determined process data sequence, based on the first database; and calculating a similarity value for each of the determined process data sequences compared to the provided process data sequence, based on the data pattern of the at least one process variable, wherein the determined process data sequences for the calculation are provided, based on the related start timestamps and end timestamps, by accessing a second database comprising the process data sequences, for analysing the process data.

    Abstract: A method for generating a process model modeling a manual mode procedure instance of a plant process includes providing log events of operational actions; selecting related sequences of manual mode operational actions from the log events; filtering the related sequences according to an individual plant section; identifying a sequential order from the filtered related sequences; determining statistical properties of values of related process variables and/or statistical properties of values of related set point changes to each sequential ordered manual mode operational action from the filtered related sequences; generating the process model of the manual mode procedure instance by arranging related manual mode operational actions with the sequential order of each operational action assigned with the statistical properties of the values of related process variables and/or assigned with the statistical properties of the values of the related set point changes.

    Abstract: A system for reusing program code from a first completed application in a second under-development application based on identified patterns matching between the types of data accessed by the first and second applications. The system has an information model database, a pattern database, an API and applications which query the information model through the API, resulting in stored raw access data. The raw access data is extracted and patterns are generated based on similarity of the abstracted patterns as between the first and second applications. Application programmers access the pattern database to create new programs and implement prior computer code in the new program based on a pattern match on data accessed by a prior-developed application.
