This paper demonstrates the critical role of the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) as a standardized framework for data exchange within the industrial automation domain, particularly considering the discrete manufacturing roots of automation projects. To address the lack of integration and collaboration in the supply chain of automation projects, we propose a digitally assisted and efficient solution using the Factory-X project as a case study. This approach connects various tools from manufacturers and integrates them into the toolchains used by system integrators, mechanical engineers, and operators. We demonstrate how the proposed method significantly enhances productivity and the solution-finding process in automation engineering by facilitating the exchange and integration of automation component information between customers and suppliers through AAS.

A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de fontes primárias e secundárias, conclui-se que ambos os filósofos postulam uma natureza ontologicamente dialógica da identidade pessoal, logo, essencialmente dependente de relação duradoura com os outros.Por

The Industrial Internet of Things requires standardization of communication technologies and protocols applied in that context. An emerging architectural concept is the so called and its associated components and applications. The Edge Computing paradigm requires standardization of interfaces to enable cross-vendor interoperability between the different involved products and across the architectural layers. The current results in this direction of the Labs Network Industrie 4.0 pre-standardization testbed will be presented in this paper and a brief overview given on further organizations working on the standardization of implementations in the edge context.

OPS 11: Health effects of climate change in low- and middle-income countries, Room 114, Floor 1, August 27, 2019, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Background: India is expected to experience an increase in the frequency and intensity of floods in the coming decades, which poses serious risks to human health and wellbeing in the country. Objective: This paper aims to shed light on the possible detrimental effects of flood exposure on childhood undernutrition in India using the Demographic and Health Survey 2015-16, in combination with fine resolution climate data. Methods: Undernutrition is captured through measures of stunting, wasting and being underweight among children age 0-59 months. The standardised precipitation and evapotranspiration index (SPEI) is used to identify wetter than normal conditions during the monsoon season, which is a strong predictor of flood build-ups. We focus on children’s early years of life, starting from in-utero up until age 5. Results: The results of a multivariate logistic regression show that wetter than normal conditions during the monsoon season exacerbate undernutrition among rural children, while the effects on urban children is limited. Continuous exposure to wetter than normal conditions increases the odds of stunting by 23% for rural children (99% confidence) and has no effect on urban children. Further, climatic conditions in utero and during infancy can have long-lasting implications on the child’s later development; rural children exposed to positive SPEI shocks during these early years continue to be at higher risk of stunting up to age 5. Short-term effects are also found; rural children exposed to positive SPEI shocks during the latest monsoon months are at higher risk of being underweight (10% at 99% confidence). These effects are different across regions in India, with children in rural central and eastern India consistently at a higher risk of undernutrition due to positive SPEI shocks. Conclusions: The findings of the present analysis warn of the urgent need to provide long-term nutritional programs to assist children in flood-prone areas.

Abstract The all-electric control system, as proposed with this paper, provides improved HSE, reduced costs, and increases safety and reliability compared to an electrohydraulic system. This paper describes the approach for the development of a novel all-electric safety actuation system. Key to this concept is the centralized battery, which is utilized to provide the system with the required amount of energy during valve actuation for normal operation and in case of a power cut or communication loss. Since instantaneous power for valve operation is supplied by the battery, continuous power demand remains at a similar level for current electrohydraulic solutions. This paper includes a detailed analysis to evaluate the safety and reliability capability of the proposed all-electric system. It also covers root causes for failure modes and suitable mitigations to prevent occurrence or for failure impact reduction. Further objective is the analysis of common cause failures, which are critical for safety function execution. The paper is a result of the work of a joint industry project.
