KPI Extraction from Maintenance Work Orders-A Comparison of Expert Labeling, Text Classification and AI-Assisted Tagging for Computing Failure Rates of Wind Turbines

December 6, 2023
Author(s)
Marc-Alexander Lutz, Bastian Schafermeier, Rachael Sexton, Michael Sharp, Alden A. Dima, Stefan Faulstich, Jagan Mohini Aluri
Maintenance work orders are commonly used to document information about wind turbine operation and maintenance. This includes details about proactive and reactive wind turbine downtimes, such as preventative and corrective maintenance. However, the

Procedural Guide for System-Level Impact Evaluation of Industrial Artificial Intelligence-Driven Technologies: Application to Risk-Based Investment Analysis for Condition Monitoring Systems in Manufacturing

December 16, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Sharp, Mehdi Dadfarnia, Timothy A. Sprock, Douglas Thomas
Industrial artificial intelligence (IAI) and other analysis tools with obfuscated internal processes are growing in capability and ubiquity within industrial settings. Decision-makers share their concern regarding the objective evaluation of such tools and

Feasability and Performance Analysis of Automating Engineering Change Requests

August 18, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Sharp, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., William Z. Bernstein, Soonjo Kwon
Engineering change is a non-value-added activity that happens as a product progresses through its lifecycle. Engineering change is a significant cost sink in many projects. While avoiding and mitigating the risk of change is the ideal approach, mistakes

Defining requirements for integrating information between design, manufacturing, and inspection

May 11, 2021
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Michael Sharp, Toby M. Maw, Moneer Helu, Mostafizur M. Rahman, Swati Jadhav, James J. Whicker, Allison Barnard Feeney
Industry desires a digital thread of information that aligns as-designed, as-planned, as-executed, and as-inspected viewpoints. An experiment was conducted to test selected open data standards' ability to integrate the lifecycle stages of engineering

Discovering Critical KPI Factors from Natural Language in Maintenance Work Orders

April 22, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Sharp, Michael Brundage, Rachael Sexton, Fnu Madhusudanan Navinchandran
Optimizing maintenance practices is a continuous process that must take into account the evolving state of the equipment, resources, workers, and more. To help streamline this process, facilities need a concise procedure for identifying critical tasks and

Anteater: Interactive Visualization for Program Understanding

September 24, 2020
Author(s)
Rebecca Faust, Kartherin Isaacs, William Z. Bernstein, Michael Sharp, Carlos Scheidegger
Debugging is famously one the hardest parts in programming. In this paper, we tackle the question: what does a debugging environment look like when we take interactive visualization as a central design principle? We introduce Anteater, an interactive

MSEC: A QUANTITATIVE RETROSPECTIVE

June 25, 2020
Author(s)
Rachael Sexton, Michael Brundage, Alden A. Dima, Michael Sharp
The Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC) in 2020 is the 15th annual conference put on by the Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) of ASME. MED and ASME MSEC focuses on manufacturing sciences, technology, and applications, including

Integrated Operations Management for Distributed Manufacturing

August 28, 2019
Author(s)
Timothy A. Sprock, Michael E. Sharp, William Z. Bernstein, Michael P. Brundage, Moneer M. Helu, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr.
In traditional manufacturing operations management systems, the four pillars of ISA-95 (production, quality, maintenance, inventory) are each implemented as separate software systems. Each system independently manages its own data, operational decision

Design, Manufacturing, and Inspection Data for a Three-Component Assembly

February 12, 2019
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg, Michael E. Sharp, Toby M. Maw, Mostafizur M. Rahman, Swati Jadhav, James J. Whicker, Allison Barnard Feeney, Moneer M. Helu
To better understand and address the challenges faced in linking all stages of a manufacturing and design process, an investigative fabrication process was designed and enacted as part of a collaboration between the National Institute of Standards and
