Information fusion for decision support in manufacturing: studies from the defense sector

Virtual manufacturing for press line monitoring and diagnostics

“…Simulations", a major research initiative at the University of Skövde that aims at the development of generic IF theory, tools, methods and infrastructures [49]. Application scenarios include manufacturing [50,51], retail sector, bioinformatics, defence, emergencies management, and precision agriculture.…”

“…The ARMMS consortium has identified a number of enabling key technologies for achieving agility, virtual manufacturing being one of these key technologies [5].

Decommissioning vs. repowering of offshore wind farms—a techno-economic assessment

“…The current academic literature about EoL scenarios is limited, forcing operators of wind farms to adopt their own practices when supporting relevant decisions. While in other industries systematic approaches have been established to support EoL decisions, this is not currently the case for OWFs [3][4][5][6]. Luengo and Kolios [7] have reviewed in detail the risks involved on service life extension based on a detailed failure mode identification and with a view to qualifying which are the key components to drive such decisions.…”
