  • Patent number: 12099926
    Abstract: A water treatment plant which performs water treatment using a water treatment device includes an imaging device, a processing device, and a control device. The imaging device images a water treatment environment of the water treatment device and outputs image data obtained by imaging. The processing device causes an arithmetic device which performs an arithmetic operation using one or more calculation models generated by machine learning to execute the arithmetic operation employing the image data output from the imaging device as input data of the one or more calculation models. The control device controls the water treatment device on the basis of output information output from the arithmetic device by executing the arithmetic operation.

  • Publication number: 20210263490
    Abstract: A water treatment plant that performs water treatment using a water treatment facility includes: a sensor that repeatedly detects a water treatment environment of the water treatment facility to output time-series detection data; and a processor. The processor causes an arithmetic circuitry to execute a computation related to control of the water treatment facility using the time-series detection data as input data for a calculation model generated by machine learning.

  • Patent number: 9752791
    Abstract: An air-conditioning unit control device controls an air-conditioning unit system including one or more outdoor units and a plurality of indoor units. The air-conditioning unit control device includes an environment target value setting unit to set an environment target value for an environment intended to be achieved by air conditioning through each of the indoor units, a zone setting unit to form one or more groups of the indoor units and set a zone for each of the groups, a zone load calculating unit to calculate a heat load on the set zone, an air conditioning capacity allocation calculating unit to determine an allocation of operation capacity to each of the indoor units and the outdoor units based on power consumption of each of the indoor units and the outdoor units, and a control instructing unit to transmit a control signal based on each operation capacity.

  • Patent number: 9164647
    Abstract: A graphical user interface device includes an operation procedure information database, a display element information database, an operation determination section, a display element selection section, and an integrated procedure and display-element screen preparation section. Procedure information and a display item to be operated by an operator are registered in the operation procedure information database. The procedure information is text information forming an operation manual. The operation determination section determines a current operation step based on information given from an actual plant. The integrated procedure and display-element screen preparation section prepares a layout of an operation screen allowing the procedure information and the display item of the current operation step to be simultaneously displayed on a single screen of the input/output equipment.

  • Patent number: 8698616
    Abstract: A monitor control system includes a focused information database and a report determination part. The focused information database is configured to store focused information that is information associating a focused item focused by each operator with the operator with respect to actual plant information. The report determination part outputs report determination information independently for each operator based on the actual plant information and the focused information. The determination information indicates a measured value, an alert, and a set value that are coincident with the focused items focused by a certain operator and additionally that is determined to need to be reported.

  • Patent number: 8381117
    Abstract: In a large-scale plant such as a power plant, a graphical user interface device displays a target data display screen without increasing a load of searching a screen or a load of grasping a screen transition link. An operation model-creating device reads operation manual data for operation estimation and operation history data from an operation manual managing device and an operation history managing device to create a number of pieces of manual procedure template data for each accident type. An operation predicting device selects the operation procedure template data having same conditions of immediately preceding operation history data obtained from the plant monitoring and control device to predict the next operation estimated to be performed by an operator from the selected operation procedure template data. The plant monitoring and control device displays a system recommended operation button on a monitoring screen thereof based on data of the predicted results.
