“…For the Alarm management with fault diagnostic the theory of the ANN could be applied for training system on the reconigtion the units of time necessary in each chronicle. Process history information allows to the systems to detect deviations according to an a historical data base, but in a startup procedure this type of data is not found [4] , [38], [39].…”

This paper presents a preliminary study of the different techniques that can be used for fault diagnostics in industial processes specially on the startup and shutdown procedures. A review of these thecniques from the perspective of how its can be used for Alarm management is presented, followed by an analisys of fault diagnostic in complex systems passing techniques like the causal graph. Another technique exposed is the use of chronicles as a robust method for fault diagnosis; in a first part we examine aspects as diagnostic, Timed Diagnosability, then propose an automated translation of chronicles, and how it can be used on the alarm management in a starting or shutdown plant. Concluding with a preliminar methodolgy propoused that includes the use of tha causal graph with the chronicles in an Alarm management.Keywords: Alarm management, Causal Graph, Chronicle, Fault diagnostic, Timed diagnosis.

Otra tecnica expuesta es el uso de cronicas como un metodo robusto para el diagnostico de fallas; en una primera parte se examinan aspectos como el diagnostico, diagnosticabilidad temporizada, luego se propone un traslado automatizado de cronicas y la forma en que se puede utilizar en la gestion de alarmas en una planta, en el arranque o el apagado. Concluyendo con una propuesta metodologia prelimianr que incluye el uso de grafico casual con las cornicas para la gestion de alarmas.Palabras clave: Gestión de alarmas, grafica casual, crónica, diagnostico de fallas.

“…In spite of the promising perspective and the research developed by the holonic community, such as referred in [2][3][4][5][6][7], and others, compiled in [8,9], the holonic manufacturing achievements leave some important questions open, as described in [10], namely how to achieve global optimisation in decentralised systems, how should the production control structure evolve to adapt to change, how to specify formally the dynamic behaviour of holonic systems, how to introduce learning and self-organisation capabilities, how to integrate automation resources and how to develop holonic-based control applications.…”

In the last decades significant changes in the manufacturing environment have been noticed: moving from a local economy towards a global economy, with markets asking for products with higher quality at lower costs, highly customised and with short life cycle. In these circumstances, the challenge is to develop manufacturing control systems with intelligence capabilities, fast adaptation to the environment changes and more robustness against the occurrence of disturbances. This paper presents an agile and adaptive manufacturing control architecture that addresses the need for the fast reaction to disturbances at the shop floor level, increasing the agility and flexibility of the enterprise, when it works in volatile environments. The proposed architecture introduces an adaptive control that balances dynamically between a more centralised structure and a more decentralised one, allowing combining the global production optimisation with agile reaction to unexpected disturbances. #
