Speech Title: Intelligent Elasticity Hybrid-Cloud Architecture and Hard Real-Time Service Technologies for Discrete Manufacturing
Abstract: Manufacturing informatization is a key component of China’s strategy for integrating industrialization and informatization, yet it faces challenges such as instability under hybrid concurrent workloads, cross-domain exceptions causing service unavailability, and the inability to achieve hard real-time deployment. To address these issues, this work advances adaptive concurrency fluctuation suppression, cloud-native geo-redundant fault tolerance, and automatic equipment-hosted hot deployment, resulting in an independently developed hybrid-cloud intelligent elastic data integration platform and hard real-time service applications for discrete manufacturing.

Speech Title: Signal Reconstruction, Fault Diagnosis, and Signal Compensations Using Soft Sensors
Abstract: Hardware sensors are critical in industrial systems. However, hardware sensors are prone to faults or malfunctions due to age which may mislead the operators and controllers. Moreover, extra hardware sensors are not always available due to the cost or constraints in some practical scenarios. Therefore, there is a motivation to seek an alternative, that is called soft sensors. Soft sensors are a technique to reconstruct sensor signals and extract key information using measurement data. In this talk, model-based soft sensors (e.g. advanced observer techniques) and their applications in power converters and wave energy converters are introduced.
