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.

At construction sites, temporary parking lots may be established for workers and construction-related vehicles. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can easily occur due to rain, which may hinder vehicle access. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in temporary parking lots, a suitable environment for vehicle passage and parking can be created while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in the necessary areas, and after the construction is completed, they can be removed and repurposed for temporary roads or access routes. The 5×10 panels weigh approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panels weigh about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, allowing for changes in parking space. Additionally, they offer benefits unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. They are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A," and can be utilized for the development of temporary parking lots and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
