- eMaintenance solutions are extensively used by the industry today. eMaintenance is an emerging technology aimed to support the industry to achieve effectiveness and efficiency in their maintenance process through enhanced use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) . One of the essential components is an eMaintenance solution is data acquisition. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) has been used to manage data acquisition is many industrial systems. Nowadays, modern SCADA systems are available through internet and other networks via IP protocol. An increased use of internet–based solution requires appropriate management approaches to improve the safety and security aspects of a system. Hence, this paper suggests a new security model based security for SCADA systems through Cloud computing and Artificial Immune System (AIS). Furthermore, the paper provides AIS, which is based on Decision Tree (C4.5 algorithm) using clustered feature set. The features set are selected from NSL-KDD cup. It is a new version of KDD dataset. As a result, two Antibodies are generated (that could recognize Normal and Antigen). After applying the resulted antibodies on the testing data set, the outputs are Normal, Antigen, and Unknown. Finally it is treated with Unknown as Antigen. As a result, high accuracy of the suggested model reaches 96.3%.

- Increased environmental awareness in the industry combined with the globalized market economy makes increasing demands for sustainable and efficient resource utilization. In this context, maintenance plays a critical role by linking business objectives to the strategic and operational activities aimed at retaining the system’s availability performance, cost-efficiency and sustainability. Performing maintenance effectively and efficiently requires corresponding infrastructure for decision-support provided through eMaintenance solutions. A proper eMaintenance solution needs to provide services for data acquisition, data processing, data aggregation, data analysis, data visualization, context-sensing etc. To en Quality of Service (QoS) in eMaintenance solutions, the performance of both system-of-interest, enabling systems and related processes have to be measured and managed. However, the QoS has to be considered on all aggregation levels and encompass the aspects of Content Quality (CQ), Data Quality (DQ) and Information Quality (IQ). Hence, the purpose of this paper is to study and describe some aspects of DQ in eMaintenance related to process industry in northern Europe.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Infrared thermography has been investigated as a non destructive testing method for health monitoring of rotating mining mills. The idea is to monitor the thermal differences on the mill surface with thermal camera in order to detect and maintain cracks and other material damage in the mill material. A general description of the thermography technique, the theory behind, advantages and drawbacks as well as its use in other applications is presented. To test the usefulness of the method, real life measurements with IR-camera have been performed on several mining mills at a mining company located in northern Sweden. The results from these measurements are presented and discussed in this article. Infrared thermography is a fast and relatively cheap inspection method which can find and monitor material damage in rotating mining mills and help the maintenance personal in taking the corrective maintenance decisions.

An integrated approach for open e-Maintenance
- 2010

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present day e-maintenance space is evolving with isolated legacy sub-systems or packages that span heterogeneous and domain specific industry verticals. Developing a unified platform for e-maintenance catering to the varied domains shall hence pose a major challenge. An open systems based platform for emaintenance can overcome some of these hurdles by defining the otherwise disparate systems as abstract entities with well defined public interfaces. The interfaces can be broadly classified based on the technology types, thus allowing individual vertical emaintenance applications to align with their respective business interests. In all, this shall greatly help in reducing the overall operating costs and at the same time provide increased flexibility, reusability and reliability. The underlying standard protocol, defined through a group consensus, shall be responsible for transport of the e-maintenance data between the distributed subsystems via the TCP/IP standard within multiple administrative domains of e-maintenance across wired and wireless networks. This paper also looks at e-maintenance from a systems integration perspective and illustrates how open systems based approach can help achieve integration better.

- Maintenance and support providers to modern aircraft need to manage an increasing amount of information generated by growing system complexity and stakeholder requirements. This introduces new risks in the information management process and makes traditional information services and systems inadequate. However, recent advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) have contributed to the emerging approach of e-Maintenance, which forms an important building block to achieve the desired information logistics. e-Maintenance enables remote and real time maintenance, and includes; collection, monitoring, analysis and distribution of data and information as decision-support to stakeholders of the maintenance and support processes, independent of organization or geographical location, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week (24/7). This paper describes a proposed development of information products by linking theories to practical methodologies and tools (e.g., Quality Function Deployment, QFD) through the development of a demonstrator of a stakeholder-based information product in the context of a modern combat aircraft.

- To be competitive with other modes of transport, the railway needs to be cost-effective. In order to become more competitive in the logistics industry, Indian Railways has taken new initiative to improve their operations in recent years. A rail-truck intermodal transportation service for Indian Railways is described in this paper. The main focus of the present research is to optimize the freight rate and terminal location together, in order to minimize the total shipping cost of truckers while ensuring the targeted profit of the railway. A model has been developed for the determination of the optimal freight rate and the corresponding intermodal terminal location. The key regulators of this model are the price sensitivity of the trucker and profit guarantee for railways. A case study was developed on the Delhi - Mumbai freight corridor. An analysis was performed to gain insight into the trade-offs among shipment cost and terminal locations.

Ingår i: International Journal of COMADEM. - 1363-7681. ; 18:1, s. 49-58
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Railway transport infrastructure is a linearly distributed asset that requires an effective performance management system to meet sectional and overall business objectives. In particular, an effective performance measurement system with relevant analysis technique in an ongoing manner is necessary to facilitate continuous improvement. Maintenance performance measurement (MPM) is essential to quantify the impact of past maintenance decisions and actions and also to support new decisions. This article presents the challenges of implementing and using MPM systems for maintenance decisions in the railway industry. Thereafter, a risk matrix with maintenance performance indicators is introduced as a complementary analysis tool to identify weak links on a railway line. A case study of a section on the heavy haul line of the Swedish Transport Administration railway network is presented to demonstrate the application of the risk matrix tool for continuous improvement. The results identified the bottlenecks on the line section, which are improvement opportunities for maintenance performance in terms of service quality and capacity target of the infrastructure manager
