In recent years, we have seen exciting breakthroughs in the field of ‘reinforcement learning’. In this talk, I will give a very basic introduction to this general field, where I …
Industry 4.0 promises reductions in maintenance costs through access to digital technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and data analytics. Many of the promised benefits to maintenance …
At the research group Ambient Intelligence, we perform applied research: based on real-life use cases we collaborate with external partners to work towards a solution and gain insights from a …
Semiconductor lithography system issues are challenging to diagnose from predefined models and historic data alone. That’s because such systems are characterized by high-dimensionality, non-stationarity and nonlinear behavior across multiple time …
The Royal Netherlands Navy is planning to introduce several new ship classes within the next decade. The new ships will be technologically much more advanced than the ships currently in …
Many aircraft are designed according to the deterministic damage tolerance philosophy to predict the crack growth life of the structure. Alternatively, a probabilistic damage tolerance analysis can be performed, called …
Risk Assessments performed on systems across many industrial sectors employ techniques such as Fault Tree Analysis and Event tree analysis which have their foundations back in the 1960/1970s. Since that …
The “RUL loss rate”, or time derivative or the RUL (remaining useful life), measures the speed at which an asset’s condition degrades and it therefore is getting closer to failure …
The amount of measured and collected condition monitoring data for complex industrial assets has been recently increasing significantly due to falling costs, improved technology, and increased reliability of sensors and …
SPC (Statistical Process Control) is the part of industrial statistics that deals with monitoring data streams in order to timely detect changes (the word control in the name is a …
