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

Solid Sands has released SuperTest Van Gogh 6.0 with more than 1,900 new tests, including 480 for C23 and 440 for C++23. The number worth your attention is a different one: GCC, Clang and MSVC each currently fail about 20% of its 173 C++20 modules tests.

An AI Agent That Drives the Debugger: SEGGER and Embedder Connect J-Link to the Loop

SEGGER has given an AI coding agent direct control of J-Link and J-Trace: flash, breakpoints, memory inspection and live RTT on real silicon. The loop only works if the probe can read target RAM while the core runs, and GSAS field engineers know exactly where that breaks first.

10BASE-T1S and PLCA: Multidrop Ethernet Explained

10BASE-T1S is the one member of the T1 single-pair Ethernet family that keeps a shared medium, and PLCA is the reconciliation sublayer that stops the nodes on it from colliding. This article covers what IEEE 802.3cg standardises, how the beacon and transmit opportunities schedule a cycle, the node count and segment length figures the OPEN Alliance interoperability test suite works to, and the failure modes that put a segment quietly back into contention while every link still looks up. Written by the GSAS Micro Systems engineering team in India for teams bringing up multidrop segments on the bench.
