Predictive Maintenance

Predictive maintenance (PdM) is an approach to asset management that relies on operational data to determine when a physical asset requires service. An important goal of PdM is to minimize maintenance costs by preventing equipment failures before they occur.

Predictive maintenance plays an important role in industries that requires high availability (HA) for machine parts. PdM can be contrasted with reactive maintenance and preventive maintenance.

Reactive Maintenance – Run equipment until it breaks and then fix or replace it.

Preventive Maintenance – Replace parts and schedule equipment repairs on a time- or machine-run-based schedule.

Predictive Maintenance – Use intelligent sensors to monitor machine parts in operations and machine learning to determine when data has deviated from desired parameters.

Predictive maintenance software uses data produced by Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 edge nodes to monitor the condition of mechanical assets as they are operating. Consumer-grade predictive maintenance software apps will typically issue an alert when data suggests a replacement part or maintenance appointment is needed.

In contrast, some enterprise-level PdM software applications are able to connect to other business systems and actually order replacement parts and set up appointments so repairs can be made. Popular enterprise PdM vendors include Fxix, UpKeep and eMaint.

 Chinese Wall

Chinese wall is a reverse engineering and cloning technique that captures copyrighted and patented processes for reconstruction. Chinese wall implementation provides a buffer against intellectual property infringement allegations via the clean room environment model specification implies that developers do not have access to competing intellectual property. Chinese wall references the Great Wall of China, erected to protect against invasion. Many legal ethics experts condemn the Chinese wall term as linguistic discrimination.  Chinese Wall is also known as clean room design.

 

Memex

Memex is a conceptual data storage and retrieval system outlined by Vannevar Bush. Memex was intended to help people enhance their lives by providing access to the massive amount of knowledge already recorded. Bush realized that there was no easy way to navigate through this information and find all the documents or passages specific to one's reasons for searching. Memex was his solution to this problem.  Memex is an important stepping stone in the creation of the Internet because it served as an inspiration to Ted Nelson, Douglas Engelbart and many of the others who contributed to the hypertext used on the World Wide Web today.

 

Critical Security Parameter

A critical security parameter (CSP) is data using a cryptography module to process encryption functions.
