The general steps of the business analysis are as follows. This time, we will show a specific example of business problem solving in the manufacturing industry.
- Education and AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has great influence in the field of education and has the potential to transform teaching methods and learning processes. Below we discuss several important aspects of AI and education.
As mentioned in the previous article “Fusion of Plant Engineering Ontology ISO15926 and AI Technology,” plant engineering is a complex technology involving many elements and requiring a vast amount of knowledge data, so ontology technology is being actively applied. In this article, I would like to discuss the application of ontology technology to plant engineering from an operational perspective.
IA (Intelligence Augmentation) will be a term that refers to the use of computers and other technologies to augment human intelligence. In other words, IA can be described as the use of computers to supplement and extend human intelligence by providing analysis and decision-making support to improve human capabilities, and to combine human and computer power to create more powerful intellectual capabilities. This is a term that, depending on how you take the meaning, corresponds to the whole area called DX.
In contrast, Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the technology and concept of using computers and other machines to realize human intelligence and behavior. AI is evolving in areas such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, and whether or not it has been realized AI can be defined as the ability of machines to solve problems autonomously.
To “awareness” means to observe or perceive something carefully, and when a person notices a situation or thing, it means that he or she is aware of some information or phenomenon and has a feeling or understanding about it. Becoming aware is an important process of gaining new information and understanding by paying attention to changes and events in the external world. In this article, I will discuss this awareness and the application of artificial intelligence technology to it.
RFID is an abbreviation for “Radio Frequency Identification,” a technology that uses wireless communications to read identification information on goods, animals, etc. This RFID system mainly consists of three elements: RFID tags, RFID readers, and a central database. RFID is used in various fields such as logistics, agriculture, medicine, and manufacturing. Furthermore, combining RFID technology with AI technology is expected to optimize and streamline business processes.
This section describes WoT (Web of Things) technology used in Artificial Intelligence and IOT technologies. WoT is an abbreviation for Web of Things, which was defined by W3C, the Internet standards organization, to solve existing IoT issues.
WoT addresses one of the challenges of the IoT, which is the lack of compatibility (at present, in many cases, sensors, platforms, or operating systems work only with certain systems), by addressing the issues of existing web technologies that are already widely used (HTML, Javascript, JSON, etc.) and By using protocols to provide IoT services and applications, we can increase interoperability of devices and add features such as security and access control at the application level, as well as semantic usage of data combined with Semantic Web technologies. The goal is to enable the creation of a wide variety of services.
The Satisfiability of Propositional Logic (SAT: Boolean Satisfiability) is the problem of determining whether or not there exists a variable assignment for which a given propositional logic expression is true. For example, if there is a problem “whether there exists an assignment of A, B, C, D, E, or F such that A and (B or C) and (D or E or F) are true,” this problem is converted into a propositional logic formula and whether the formula is satisfiable is determined.
Such problem setting plays an important role in many application fields, for example, circuit design, program analysis, problems in the field of artificial intelligence, and cryptography theory. From a theoretical aspect, it is known that the algorithm that can solve the SAT problem is an “NP-complete problem,” and current computers have not found an efficient solution for large-scale problems. Therefore, this is a field of technology where research is still being conducted to improve algorithm efficiency, such as increasing speed and developing heuristic search algorithms.
The topic of Daniel Metz’s dissertation at the Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) Institute at Siegen University is an analysis of the Real Time Enterprise (RTE) concept and supporting technologies over the past decade. Its main objective is to identify shortcomings. Subsequently, leveraging the Event Driven Architecture (EDA) and Complex Event Processing (CEP) paradigms, a reference architecture was developed that overcomes the gaps in temporal and semantic vertical integration across different enterprise levels that are essential to realize the RTE concept. The developed reference architecture has been implemented and validated in a foundry with typical characteristics of SMEs

This paper describes building smart and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). buildingSMART defines specifications for the systematic representation of all objects that make up a building (e.g., elements such as doors, windows, walls, etc.), and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) summarizes these specifications. While smart city is an application that deals with the entire city from the user’s point of view, smart building is an application that deals with the sharing of building data such as BIM and the sharing of building materials in buildingSMART. While smart city is an application that deals with the entire city from the user’s point of view, smart building is an application that deals with the architect’s point of view by sharing building data such as BIM and sharing building materials in smart.
FMEA stands for Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, and is a systematic method of analyzing potential failures for the purpose of preventing failure problems.
FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) is a similar failure analysis method, but FTA is a top-down method in which the undesirable events of a product are first assumed, and the possible paths to failure or accident are described in a tree structure along with the probability of occurrence. On the other hand, FMEA is a bottom-up analysis method that describes not the failure itself (function), but the failure event that causes the failure. Specifically, after organizing the system information (structure, functions, components, etc.) in preparation, an FMEA sheet is prepared that lists the failure modes, their effects, and the assumed failure modes.
HAZID is an abbreviation for Hazard Identification Study, which is a method for safety assessment of plants and systems to identify potential risks (hazards) and evaluate the magnitude of those risks. The identification of hazards is done by using the What-if method or its improved version, the Structured What-if Technique (SWIFT). In this method, a structured worksheet is used and questions such as “What-if”, “How could”, and “It is possible” are asked. It is used for brainstorming based on questions such as “What-if”, “How could”, and “It is possible”, in order to anticipate various problems in advance.
This paper introduces FMEA and HAZID, followed by specific examples of combining them with ontology.
In this paper, product design and data integration using ontology are described. In particular, it describes data integration and decision making using ontology as a countermeasure against DMSMS (Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages), which is closely related to production planning.
In order to minimize the effects of unexpected system failures, the efficiency of fault diagnosis must be improved. When classical diagnostic techniques are considered, unexpected events are detected from a local perspective, i.e., at the equipment level. However, when complex systems are considered, classical techniques are useless because the whole system may not be monitored and the performance may vary due to the interaction between the equipment and the environment.
Maintenance personnel use their knowledge of component degradation mechanisms, built on multiple technologies of mechanical, electrical, electronic, or software nature, to formulate hypotheses about the causes of failures and performance anomalies based on the occurrence of symptoms.
The ontology approach to them is described for the case of a ship.
Product Service System (PSS) is an abbreviation for Product Service System, which is a method to achieve sustainable consumption. The product-service system provides services to customers based on the idea of “selling services, not goods. Companies in Europe, the U.S., and other parts of the world are shifting from product sales to product-service systems, with some companies aiming to reduce their environmental impact and efficiently fulfill their EPR (extended producer responsibility).
This paper describes an ontology-based approach to estimating the cost of this PSS.
This section describes the methods, tools, and languages used for ontology development to create semantically enhanced legal knowledge systems and web-based applications that aim to improve the searchability of legal information and the reusability of legal knowledge by enabling information interoperability through the application of ontologies and Semantic Web technologies. The paper describes the methods, tools, and languages used to develop ontologies for creating semantically enhanced legal knowledge systems and web-based applications with the aim of improving the reusability of legal knowledge. As a case study, the development of the Ontology of Professional Judicial Knowledge (OPJK) is presented.
This book describes an enterprise ontology as a tool for analyzing, redesigning, and re-engineering an enterprise. This will be an integrated ontology that covers a number of issues such as business processes, in-and-out sourcing, information systems, business management, and staffing.
The content includes an overview of ontology, modeling using ontology for information transactions and processes between customers and clubs in Volley tennis club as a concrete example, and various modeling aspects (operations, transactions, components, organizations, etc.) to actually build the ontology. It also describes the characteristics of various modeling aspects (operations, transactions, components, organizations, etc.) for building ontologies, and the characteristics and application of various models such as interaction models, process models, action models, state models, and interestriction models as methodologies.
The field of Business Intelligence (BI) is expected to benefit from the application of semantic technologies. Semantic BI can be viewed as the convergence of semantics-based enterprise content management and business intelligence. Traditional BI solutions rely on extracting data from one or more data silos, performing analysis on this data, and presenting the key results to business users. With the increasing need to provide real-time information, manual and intensive preparation processes create bottlenecks. In addition, the inclusion of unstructured data such as emails and news feeds may provide a more complete picture, confirming the need to extract knowledge from these and quickly integrate new sources.
There are various research challenges in semantic BI. The knowledge extracted from unstructured sources must be of sufficient quality to be usable in critical BI systems and to be analyzed together with structured data. Correlation of knowledge extracted from different data modalities is also important. The representation, storage, and reuse of the results of BI processes through ontologies is an additional challenge.
I would like to discuss the process of designing semiconductor chips as described in “Computational Elements of Computers and Semiconductor Chips” and semiconductor chips specialized for AI applications, one step further from “Introduction to FPGAs for Software Engineers: Machine Learning”.
In this issue, we will discuss semiconductor manufacturing technology. Semiconductor manufacturing can be broadly classified into two categories: front-end processes and back-end processes. Front-end processes include wafer fabrication, cleaning, film deposition, lithography, etching, and impurity diffusion, while back-end processes include dicing, mounting, bonding, molding, marking, bumping, and packaging.

Basic Machine Learning and Data Analysis
The following pages of this blog summarize some of the tasks in machine learning. The basic algorithms are regression, which finds a function to predict a continuous output from an input; classification, which is a model that restricts the output to a finite number of symbols; clustering, which is the task of dividing the input data into K sets according to some criterion; and We will discuss clustering, which is the task of dividing input data into K sets according to some criteria, linear dimensionality reduction, which is used to process high-dimensional data commonly found in real systems.
Deep Learning
Deep learning is characterized by its ability to automatically extract features through learning using large amounts of data. Therefore, there is no need to design features manually, and it can be highly versatile compared to conventional machine learning algorithms. In addition, tools in python such as tensorflow/Keras and pythorch are available, and model construction/learning can be achieved relatively easily by using them.
The following pages of this blog summarize the theory of these deep learning techniques and their implementation in various fields such as image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing, especially the use of tools in python such as tensorflow/Keras and pythorch.
User Interface and DataVisualization
Using a computer to process data is equivalent to creating value by visualizing the structure within the data. In addition, data itself can be interpreted in multiple ways from multiple perspectives, and in order to visualize them, we need a well-designed user interface.
In the following pages of this blog, I will discuss various examples of this user interface.
