Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a microorganism of the genus Brevibacterium for the biological degradation of ochratoxin A, in which the microorganism is preferably Brevibacterium casei, Brevibacterium linens, Brevibacterium iodinum or Brevibacterium epidermidis. In addition, the invention relates to a method for the production of ochratoxin ? using said microorganism.

Abstract: A common plant model for the MES, SCADA and DCS systems of a production facility benefits from an integration architecture that enables a stringent and persistent modeling of the physical resources of a production facility. The common plant model for modeling of physical plant items within a manufacturing execution system having an engineering environment and a runtime environment, contains: a node type model aggregating different aspects for the modeling of a physical plant item containing public interface parameters and automation parameters; a number of nodes, each representing an instance of one distinct node type; a library model containing a project library and a global library, the libraries containing the node type model, a facet model, a rule model and a hierarchy model; a wiring chart model defining the interaction between interface members of different facets of a node; and a graph model representing physical and/or logical connections between the nodes.

Abstract: A common plant model models physical plant items of a production plant within a manufacturing execution system. The plant model includes a node type model aggregating different aspects for the modeling of a physical plant item involving public interface parameters and automation parameters, a number of nodes, each representing an instance of a node type, and a library model having a project library and a global library. The libraries contain a node type model, a facet model, a rule model and a hierarchy model. A wiring chart model defines the interaction between interface members of different facets of the nodes. A graph model represents physical and/or logical connections between the nodes. The hierarchy model contains hierarchy definitions and each hierarchy definition contains hierarchy levels and a number of hierarchy level constraints. Each node is assigned to a hierarchy definition and to a hierarchy level within the assigned hierarchy definition.

Abstract: A common plant model for MES, SCADA and DCS systems of a production facility benefits from an integration architecture which enables a stringent and persistent modeling of the physical resources of the production facility for all system types (MES, SCADA, DCS) that attach to the common plant model. A production plant within the manufacturing execution system has engineering and runtime environments. The common plant model has a node type model, a number of nodes, a library model with a project library and a global library. A wiring chart model defines interactions between interface members of different facets of the nodes. A graph model represents physical and/or logical connections between the nodes. Graphs are provided by a graph repository. Each graph contains a graph definition with a unique identifier, a couple of nodes linked via a graph connection link and optionally one or more graph attributes enriching the graph connection link.

Abstract: The common plant model offers the possibility to create a mechanism that allows an easier linking of plant items from an engineering aspect being independent of the system, such as MES, SCADA, DCS, ERP, the engineer is working with. The common plant model includes: a node type model aggregating different aspects for the modeling of a single physical plant item; a number of nodes; a library model with a project library and a global library; and a wiring chart model defining the interaction between interface members of different facets. Each facet has at least one interface member and the logical link among the interface members is a virtual wire defining a connection used to propagate and align facet parameters linked to a specific node. The wiring chart is usable by different users. The SCADA and DCS systems have access to the distinct modeling of their individual needs.
