Expert Group Meeting – Smart Maintenance

We would like to invite you to the next Smart Maintenance Expert Group meeting. In this meeting we will host Dr. Gabriel Michau from Stadler Services, who will tell us about

Full Steam Ahead: Unveiling the Future of Railway Rolling Stock Maintenance.

The maintenance regime of rolling stock creates by nature a competition between the reliability of the asset and the availability. Traditional maintenance regimes, mixing preventive and corrective maintenance strategies, look for a cost effective optimum between these metrics and years of optimisations have left little room for further improvements using the traditional optimisation strategies.

To achieve even more efficient maintenance strategies, dynamically scheduled maintenance, based on the real condition of the assets and of its components needs to be introduced, the so-called “Condition Based Maintenance” but this requires the development of three new types of capabilities: collecting and managing the right data, processing this data to assess the health of the monitored components and the ability to change and adapt the maintenance schemes seamlessly. Each aspect brings its own challenges, and many of these challenges are similar to the ones faced by the industry in general. In this presentation, we will draw upon exemplary projects carried out within Stadler Service’s fleet management to delve into the specific challenges encountered and the strategies employed to address them.

Dr. Gabriel Michau leads the New Maintenance Technologies team at Stadler Service AG, where he focuses on pioneering innovative maintenance strategies driven by data insights and cutting-edge technologies within the workshop. Prior to this role, he served as a Senior Scientist at ETH Zurich and at the ZHAW, specializing in the application of Deep Learning to Time Series for unsupervised fault detection and diagnostics in complex industrial systems, with a particular focus on very high frequency data (up to 100s of MHz). There, he led research initiatives aimed at advancing intelligent maintenance practices in collaboration with esteemed industrial partners, including SBB-CFF, Airbus, Stadler AG, GE, Oerlikon-Metco, Bystronic and more.

In 2016, he earned a dual PhD in Physics (Signal Processing over Networks) and Transport Engineering through a joint program between the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane and ENS de Lyon in France. His research focused on inferring traffic flows in cities using Bluetooth and traffic counts data, and he developed an innovative traffic representation tool with graph theory and advanced convex optimization algorithms. His work earned him the first place in both the National and International Abertis Award in 2016.

The talk will be followed by an active discussion about successes and challenges in implementing and scaling condition-based maintenance in real operational systems.

Workshop – Managing Financial Risks of Smart Services

In this workshop we will be exploring ideas in the field of financial risks of Smart Services focused on risk types in manufacturing and investment. The aim is to figure out up the pains of machine builders and what solutions could be applied to them and how service providers can offer financial services in an economical way to cover these needs.

We are looking forward to inspiring and tought-provoking discussions with participants. Register now using the form below.

AI’ll be back – Consequences of AI-Regulation for Start-Ups

The use of artificial intelligence in the EU will be regulated by the AI Act, the world’s first comprehen-sive AI law. Its purpose is to legally define artificial intelligence and impose documentation, auditing, and process requirements for AI providers. What does that mean for AI startups in Switzerland? Three speakers will discuss consequences, opportunities and risks of the AI Act. Livia Walpen, Senior Policy Advisor International Relations at BAKOM, outlines the current state of the EU AI act and its possible consequences for Switzerland. Christoph Heitz, Founder and President of the Data Innovation Alliance, discusses how developers of AI applications in companies need to prepare already today, how the AI Act changes the job of developers, and how startups can obtain support for these new challenges. Christoph Bräunlich, Head AI of BSI Software, presents a use case to demonstrate how a “Code of AI conduct” can help to be prepared for compliance for AI regulations. Speakers and audience will deepen questions in a discussion moderated by Markus Christen, managing director of the Digital Society Initiative of the University of Zurich.

Energy Data Hack Days

In this challenge, we provide you with a dataset containing consumption/production profiles. Your task is to develop a predictive model that can accurately forecast energy consumption/production patterns. The model needs to be deployed on a resource-constrained edge device, simulating real-world constraints. The targeted edge device is CLEMAP. For sake of simplicity, a virtual machine (VM) could be used to emulate the edge device with limited resources.

To make the deployment process simple, we ask you to use NuvlaEdge technology. The main goal is to deploy the developed forecasting module using NuvlaEdge, a powerful edge computing platform. The objective is to optimize and efficiently use resources while achieving accurate predictions.

The evaluation of your solution will be based on the following criteria:

Model Performance: The accuracy of your predictive model will be assessed using the Mean Squared Error (MSE) score. We are looking for models that can effectively capture the energy consumption/production patterns and generate accurate forecasts.

Overhead: Your solution must be deployed on a limited resources device. It must also “cohabit” with NuvlaEdge. Avoiding overload and efficiently using the available resources will be crucial. It is therefore paramount that the footprint (CPU and memory) of your solution is as low as possible.

Optimisation: We encourage you to take into account optimization concerns. This includes strategies to minimize resource contention, reduce computational complexity, and optimize memory usage, all while maintaining accurate predictions.

Summary steps for the challenge:

  1. Develop the forecasting module as a Docker container: Create a predictive model for energy consumption/production based on the provided dataset, and encapsulate it along with its dependencies into a Docker container.
  2. Deploy the forecasting container: Use the NuvlaEdge platform to deploy the developed forecasting module.
  3. Monitor/Optimise resource usage
  4. Evaluate model performance: Assess the performance of your deployed model using evaluation metrics such as the Mean Squared Error (MSE) score.

By participating in this challenge, you will gain valuable experience in addressing the resource constraints and optimization challenges inherent in edge computing environments. Your contributions will drive advancements in energy forecasting and pave the way for efficient deployment of predictive models on edge devices.

Ideation Workshop „Resiliente Smart Service Systeme“

Der Databooster organisiert gemeinsam mit vier Firmen einen 2.5-tägigen Workshop zum Thema „Wie können Unternehmen mit ihren Partnern und Kunden mit neuen und bestehenden Services resilienter und gleichzeitig nachhaltiger werden?“

Es ist deutlich geworden, dass Business Ökosysteme widerstandsfähiger werden müssen. Durch Smart Service Systeme können vorhandene Ressourcen neu ausgerichtet und verwendet werden. Dies ermöglicht Unternehmen, robuster gegenüber Störungen zu werden oder sich nach solchen rascher wieder zu erholen.

Herzlichen Dank an das Mobiliarforum Thun für die Mithilfe bei der Organisation.
