apmOptimizer

BQR’s apmOptimizer is an integrated solution for asset maintenance and logistics optimization, as well as for strategic decision making during asset design or overhaul.

apmOptimizer calculates the expected asset behavior based on a flexible model which accounts for operation profiles, failures, inspections, maintenance, spare parts, downtime, and cost.

apmOptimizer’s optimization modules find the optimal maintenance and logistics policy that minimize the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) while maintaining a high asset availability.

Main modules

  • Life Cycle Cost Analysis
  • Level Of Repair Analysis (repair or replace)
  • Spare Parts Inventory optimization
  • Scheduled Maintenance Optimization
  • Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Optimization
  • Performance analysis
  • RCM and MSG-3 management

Benefits

  • Reduce spare part, maintenance and down-time cost by an average of 35%

  • Balance CAPEX and OPEX

  • Optimize for asset availability, No need to define equipment criticality

Highlights

  • Decision Support System for selecting the optimal PdM system: what is the expected ROI for sensors and IIoT in your asset?
  • Fast analytic calculations, used for high quality optimizations

AI Inside the Engineering Process: What Is Worth Automating, and What Still Needs an Engineer

Arm, SEGGER, Perforce and Siemens EDA have each put AI inside a step of the engineering process rather than on top of it: debug, remediation, design entry, inference on the part. GSAS sets out the position behind our coverage of each: which steps are now worth automating, and which keep a human because the cost of being wrong is a recall.

100BASE-T1 Link Won't Come Up: A Vendor-Neutral Checklist

A 100BASE-T1 link that will not come up is almost never a mystery, but the answers on the web are written per silicon vendor and do not transfer. This is the ordered bring-up checklist that holds regardless of which PHY, switch or SoC you have: physical layer first, then the PHY over MDIO, then the master and slave pairing, then the causes of a link that comes up and drops. The standards and tooling claims trace to IEEE 802.3 task force records, the Linux ethtool and kernel documentation or published test material.

ADAS Sensor Data Logging: Bandwidth Budgets That Add Up

Every page that tells you an ADAS test vehicle produces terabytes a day states the headline and skips the arithmetic, so you cannot redo it for your own sensor set. This article publishes the arithmetic instead: one formula, every table row derived on the page, a worked eight-hour drive that chains those rows into a sustained write rate, a media count and an offload window, and the five places bandwidth budgets go wrong. Written by the GSAS Micro Systems engineering team in India.
