This paper presents main results of fault detection and diagnosis in a cement manufacturing
plant using a new monitoring scheme. The scheme is based on multivariate statistical …

This paper focuses on the problem of fault detection (FD) for high-order heterogeneous
nonlinear multi-agent systems. The nonlinear part of the multi-agent systems comprises a …

In continuous chemical production lines, final products are produced through irreversible
and continuous reactions in successive departments. So, the quality of the final products …

Perceptions and principles of competitiveness in the context of production and operations
management (POM) have evolved over time towards trends in which firms compete at …

The application of digitization to operations and logistics is commonplace. From advanced
data analytics to intelligent networks, digitization offers tremendous opportunities to create …

In the advent of the Industry 4.0 paradigm, intelligent manufacturing has gained prominence
