Embedding diagnosability of complex industrial systems into the design process using a model-based methodology

There is a constant increase of the market expectations on the capabilities of industrial high-tech systems. To meet these expectations, designers of such systems have to explore complex solutions that ensure both functionality and maximum up-time. We describe a methodology that supports the designers in this task. Specifically, we introduce a...

Assisted Diagnostics Methodology for Complex High-Tech Applications

Controlling the operations and resolving product performance issues in today’s high-tech production systems, such as semiconductor fabs, becomes a cumbersome task, even for experienced field engineers. To address the pressing need for assisted diagnostics approaches, in this paper we propose a model-based step-wise methodology, based on domain...
