  • Publication number: 20240101391
    Abstract: A system for detecting a presence of a person in a hoistway, having: one or more controllers configured to authenticate the person in the hoistway; the one or more controllers being operationally connected to an elevator car in the hoistway and configured to determine whether the person is within a predetermined distance of the elevator car from a signal emitter on the person; wherein when the person is within the predetermined distance of the elevator car, the one or more controllers is configured to transmit a feedback request to the person and stop the elevator car unless the one or more controllers receives feedback to the feedback request within a predetermined period of time.

  • Patent number: 11531326
    Abstract: A plant management system includes: a control device; and a management device. The control device includes: a manipulation parameter setting unit that sets values of manipulation parameters; a state parameter acquisition unit that acquires values of state parameters indicating an operating condition of the plant; and a transmitter that transmits these values to the management device. The management device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires these values; a database that stores set values of manipulation parameters and actually measured values or predicted values of state parameters when the plant is operated based on the set values, corresponding to each other; and a determination unit that determines a set value of a manipulation parameter capable of improving a value of a predetermined state parameter of the plant by referring to these values and the database.

  • Patent number: 11301976
    Abstract: An inspection support system comprising: determination devices that determine pass or fail based on a result of non-destructive inspection of the object; and a learning device that learns a determination algorithm used to determine pass or fail based on information collected from the determination devices. The determination device transmits an ultimate determination result yielded by an inspection person who has checked a determination result to the learning device along with the corresponding result of non-destructive inspection of the object. The learning device includes: a determination result reception unit that receives the ultimate determination result and the result of non-destructive inspection of the inspection object; a learning unit that learns the determination algorithm based on received information; and a provision unit that provides the learned determination algorithm to the determination devices.

  • Publication number: 20210088986
    Abstract: An operation condition setting support device supporting setting of an operation condition of a plant includes a state value acquirer acquiring state values representing states of controlled devices during operation of the controlled devices, a predictor estimating predicted values for the respective state values at a predetermined future time point based on the respective state values acquired by the state value acquirer, and a notifier, in a case where an index calculated based on a difference between each of the state values at the predetermined time point acquired by the state value acquirer and each of the predicted values at the predetermined time point or a later time point than the predetermined time point estimated by the predictor or a change ratio of the difference satisfies a predetermined condition, providing notification of the case.
