We will introduce how the hybrid model synchronizes models from different functional areas to enhance the safety, reliability, and profitability of assets.

AspenTech has devised a method to integrate first-principles-based process simulation models and expertise with AI and analytics algorithms. The resulting application software is a hybrid modeling system that can achieve more than either first-principles modeling or AI alone. With AspenHybridModels, the following becomes possible: - Modeling processes and equipment that are difficult to model using first principles alone. - Providing comprehensive and highly accurate models more quickly with less reliance on expertise. - Optimizing and evaluating optionality across multiple assets to select the best strategy for achieving goals. - Creating accurate and purpose-built models that enable the optimization of closed-loop production. Download this white paper to learn how to operate assets more safely, reliably, and profitably with hybrid models.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
