Real scalability

The EZ-Track system can also be used to count good parts, diverted parts, packed cases, etc. Downtime is measured automatically and can be classified into an unlimited number of causes. Once production data is collected, there is an extensive set of Web-based reports that can incorporate trend charts, tabular reports, pie charts, and Pareto charts. Finally, it is possible to interface the EZ-Track system to ERP/MRP systems via an advanced SQL database that is open, fully documented, and ODBC-compliant. Not only is the EZ-Track system scalable from small to large numbers of molding machines and other types of cyclical manufacturing equipment, it also can play an important role in sending real-time production data to company-wide ERP/MRP systems. 

A new optimisation structure (Fig.2) for the scheduling of operational activities in a real-world pipeline network (Fig.l) has been addressed in this paper. In addition, a new computational procedure was developed, the Pre-Analysis module. The real scenario could be addressed mostly due to Pre-Analysis scalability. The considered scenario is particularly complex and involves more nodes and pipes, compared to the one discussed in a previous work [5]. In order to address this scenario, a decomposition approach was used. This decomposition relied on a Resoince Allocation block, which takes into accoimt production/consumption functions and typical lot sizes to determine a set of candidate sequences of pumping. Furthermore, a Pre-Analysis block uses candidate sequences to determine temporal and volume parameters. These parameters were used in a continuous-time MILP model, which indeed determines the short-term scheduling of each batch in each node of the pipeline network. The implemented structure can be used, for instance, to identify system bottlenecks and to test new operational conditions. Computation time has remained at few CPU seconds. The proposed approach have allowed that a monthly planning of production and consumption be detailed in short-time scheduling operations within the considered pipeline network. Thus, operational insights can be derived from the obtained solutions. As an ongoing research, the Pre-Analysis would be used to determine other parameters for the MILP model. 

Here you ll find a summary of a more scalable system, its highlights and characteristics. With this new system you will be able to introduce threatening real-world poisons and their true effects into any new or on-going campaign. 

Another example, which is necessarily mentioned, is the study on the scalability of SPS [45, 46], because the previous common sense is that the technique is not suitable for large-scale production [47]. Although efforts have been made in trying to scale-up the production, the progress is far away the requirement for real applications [48, 49]. 

In this section we show that an approach analogous to the one presented in Section 4.2 can be taken to model IPMC sensors. The resulting model takes of the form of an infinite-dimensional transfer function, and it is physics-based, geometrically scalable, and amenable to model reduction and real-time sensing applications. In the interest of brevity, we provide... 

In the near future we plan to automate the tradeoff analysis of the security configurations by automatically exploring the trade space. Such automation is feasible because performance models embedding security properties are generated once and the exploration of the trade space can be automatically performed by instrumenting the model with different numerical values for the input parameters. Besides, we devise to apply our approach to other real world examples in order to assess the scalability of the framework. 

Traffic load and scalability. Protocols are usually optimized for the worst expected scenario. Sparse node distribution and Hght traffic conditions do not pose a challenge for the implementation of ad hoc networks. The protocols are optimized for high traffic load, high node density, and/or real-time traffic, depending on the intended use. Protocols that offer the possibiHty of channel reservation are those with...

In Chapter 6, Keller et al. present a multiresolution method for the extraction of accurate 3D surfaces from unorganized point clouds. Attractive aspects of the method are its simplicity of implementation, ability to capture the shape of complex surface structures with guaranteed connectivity properties, and scalability to real-world point clouds of millions of samples. The method is demonstrated for surface reconstruction of detail object scans as well as for spatially large point clouds obtained from environmental LiDaR scans.

Other essential requirements for such models to be usable in real industrial settings is the ease of use, maintainability and scalability to large problems. The Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) model we have proposed in [13] in order to cope with vulnerability assessment had the advantage of being simple and easy to customise in terms of parameters however, it was much less suited to be customised in terms of structure due to the underlying formalism constraints that prevent the modeller from easily performing some structural modifications that could be required in real-word analyses, like addition of attack/defence phases, concurrent threats, fail-prone/redundant countermeasures, etc.
