Digital twin as a service : Ressourcenmanagement mit Energiedaten aus cyber-physischen Systemen
(2019)
Die Energiewende führt zu einer Paradigmenänderung. Der Zeitpunkt der Energieabnahme wird sich zunehmend an dem der Energieerzeugung orientierten. Die Steuerung des Energiebedarfs kann durch energieorientierte Produktionsplanung gesteigert werden. Dies erfordert eine Vorhersage des Energiebedarfs. Hierfür wird ein System entwickelt, das eine Modellierung mittels maschinellen Lernens nutzt. Die Datenbasis wird durch eine Vorgehensweise zur Abstrahierung von Fertigungsmaschinen erzeugt. Das System besteht aus gruppierten Microservices, es berücksichtigt die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen der Modelle an die Infrastruktur. Die Modelle sind in digitalen Zwillingen integriert, die als Dienst genutzt werden. Hierdurch ist eine effiziente Adaption von ˜Äderungen an Fertigungsmaschine oder Modell-Methodik möglich. Eine exemplarische Anwendung der Abstraktionsmethode und der Modellierung mittels neuronalen Netzes demonstrieren die Umsetzbarkeit.
The common corpus optimization method “stop words removal” is based on the assumption that text tokens with high occurrence frequency can be removed without affecting classification performance. Linguistic information regarding sentence structure is ignored as well as preferences of the classification technology. We propose the Weighted Unimportant Part-of-Speech Model (WUP-Model) for token removal in the pre-processing of text corpora. The weighted relevance of a token is determined using classification relevance and classification performance impact. The WUP-Model uses linguistic information (part of speech) as grouping criteria. Analogous to stop word removal, we provide a set of irrelevant part of speech (WUP-Instance) for word removal. In a proof-of-concept we created WUP-Instances for several classification algorithms. The evaluation showed significant advantages compared to classic stop word removal. The tree-based classifier increased runtime by 65% and 25% in performance. The performance of the other classifiers decreased between 0.2% and 2.4%, their runtime improved between −4.4% and −24.7%. These results prove beneficial effects of the proposed WUP-Model.
As machine learning becomes increasingly pervasive, its resource demands and financial implications escalate, necessitating energy and cost optimisations to meet stakeholder demands. Quality metrics for predictive machine learning models are abundant, but efficiency metrics remain rare. We propose a framework for efficiency metrics, that enables the comparison of distinct efficiency types. A quality-focused efficiency metric is introduced that considers resource consumption, computational effort, and runtime in addition to prediction quality. The metric has been successfully tested for usability, plausibility, and compensation for dataset size and host performance. This framework enables informed decisions to be made about the use and design of machine learning in an environmentally responsible and cost-effective manner.
Digital transformation strengthens the interconnection of companies in order to develop optimized and better customized, cross-company business models. These models require secure, reliable, and trace- able evidence and monitoring of contractually agreed information to gain trust between stakeholders. Blockchain technology using smart contracts allows the industry to establish trust and automate cross- company business processes without the risk of losing data control. A typical cross-company industry use case is equipment maintenance. Machine manufacturers and service providers offer maintenance for their machines and tools in order to achieve high availability at low costs. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate how maintenance use cases are attempted by utilizing hyperledger fabric for building a chain of trust by hardened evidence logging of the maintenance process to achieve legal certainty. Contracts are digitized into smart contracts automating business that increase the security and mitigate the error-proneness of the business processes.
In recent years, both the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technologies have been highly influential and revolutionary. IoT enables companies to embrace Industry 4.0, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which benefits from communication and connectivity to reduce cost and to increase productivity through sensor-based autonomy. These automated systems can be further refined with smart contracts that are executed within a blockchain, thereby increasing transparency through continuous and indisputable logging. Ideally, the level of security for these IoT devices shall be very high, as they are specifically designed for this autonomous and networked environment. This paper discusses a use case of a company with legacy devices that wants to benefit from the features and functionality of blockchain technology. In particular, the implications of retrofit solutions are analyzed. The use of the BISS:4.0 platform is proposed as the underlying infrastructure. BISS:4.0 is intended to integrate the blockchain technologies into existing enterprise environments. Furthermore, a security analysis of IoT and blockchain present attacks and countermeasures are presented that are identified and applied to the mentioned use case.
