Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for simulating a location-dependent and multi-stage production process for an object (52, 56, 50), comprising a computing device with a simulation program which can be executed thereon, wherein the system is provided for providing interaction points (14, 16, 18, 20, 60, 62) along a movement path of the object (52, 56, 50) by means of a graphic interaction program module (134, 136, 138), wherein a respective pre-defined parametrizable simulation program module (64, 66, 68, 98, 102, 106, 110) for simulating a production step can be provided at one and/or between two predefined interaction points (14, 16, 18, 20, 60, 62) on the object (52, 56, 58), and wherein the system is provided for determining and applying at least one parameter for the parametrization of a respective simulation program module (64, 66, 68, 98, 102, 106, 110) automatically on the basis of the object properties defined in the data structure (72, 74, 76, 96, 100, 104, 108) for the respective interaction point (14, 16, 18, 20, 60, 62). The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fault detection system, comprising: a sensor; a processing unit; and an output unit. The sensor is configured to acquire temperature data at a sensor location of a device, wherein the temperature data comprises first temperature data and second temperature data acquired a first time period after the first temperature data. The processing unit is configured to determine a temperature magnitude comprising utilization of the first temperature data and/or the second temperature data. The processing unit is configured to determine a rate of change of temperature comprising utilization of the first temperature data and the second temperature data and the first time period. The processing unit is configured to predict a temperature at a location of the device comprising utilization of the temperature magnitude, the rate of change of temperature, and a correlation, wherein the correlation is a correlation of a plurality of temperature magnitudes and a plurality of rate of change of temperatures at the sensor location with a plurality of hotspot temperatures at the location. The processing unit is configured to determine if the device has a fault comprising utilization of the predicted temperature. The output unit is configured to output an indication that the device has a fault.
