In coal mining industry, equipment safety and reliability during operation are essential in the production process. recent years, along with continuous improvement of intelligent equipment, reliable requirements have simultaneously increased. Therefore, this article aims to study maintenance decision making method that considers inspection a fully mechanized group. The goal is establish model o...

A recent audit of oil and gas (O&G) production and process facilities (P&PFs) functioning on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) revealed that inadequate classification of equipment tends to increase the probability of maintenance induced failures. Hence, to mitigate the problem, this manuscript suggests a fuzzy inference system (FIS) to further revise and fine-tune an existing static mechani...

Vision System Alternatives Just as with electronic test equipment, there are several classes of vision inspection equipment. • The machine-vision industry has a wide range of equipment vendors and systems integrators for ‘rack and stack’ vision systems. Software tool-kits provide an extensive suite of image-processing algorithms and graphical tools to simplify the programming of inspection task...

This Keynote Paper is written to help plant sites wishing to implement Risk Based Inspection (RBI) for the first time to enhance their equipment integrity management practice as well as for those plant sites not satisfied with their existing Risk Based Inspection (RBI) process at site and considering a change. It is also considered of immense value for plant sites wishing to set up a Risk Based...

in this paper, we focus on a continuously deteriorating critical equipment which its failure cannot be measured by cost criterion. for these types of systems like military systems, nuclear systems, etc it is extremely important to avoid failure during the actual operation of the system. in this paper we propose an approach which constrains failure probability to a pre-specified value. this valu...

This paper deals with the inspection of pipeline by means of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The different methods of pipeline inspection, its technical and economic efficiency have been examined. The theoretical and experimental base for air monitoring on base of On Board Infrared Equipment (OBIE) have been examined. The method of pipeline inspection by means of UAV has been proposed. The descr...

OVERVIEW: Container inspection is categorized into three stages. In the initial stage, large-size X-ray DR (digital radiography) is used to inspect full containers sitting on their trailers. If that inspection identifies suspicious cargo, the trailer and container are relocated to a nearby inspection position for opening the container and inspecting all cargo inside. In the second stage, small-...

There have been many analyses made of models for equipment inspection, i. e ., where a system may suffer a bre.akdowfl, ~ut such an event is only discovered by an inspection. Most analyses as· ~ume t~at the tIme to failure follows a negative exponential law which implies that only periodic mspectlOn programs need b~ considered. Another model which has been analyzed by Barlow, Hunter, and Prosch...
