Manufacturers install and rely on a large number of sensors to operate and control their processes. However, the collected sensor data is rarely used to analyse and improve the higher-level, aggregated business processes. Process mining (PM) appears to be a promising solution, with the ability to automatically generate and analyse business process models based on data. However, the atomic events of sensor measurements need to be refined, aggregated, and enriched to properly represent a business process. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to make manufacturing sensor data analysable with PM. The framework allows manufacturers with batch and continuous processes (BCP) to systematically enrich their sensor data to use it for optimization purposes. Following the action design research, we demonstrate the applicability of the framework in a use case study using sensor data from a BCP beverage production.

The paper deals with the process of optimizing the creation of the output product, which is the Cobas HIV-1 blood plasma separation card. The capabilities of the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software will be used in this process. The application of simulation software will help to reveal the possibilities of improvement during the entire production process of the said product and to debug all potential improvement errors on the digital model without physically interfering with the current production process. The paper contains a basic theoretical clarification of some basic terms. The following content describes individual parts of the production process in question. An analysis will be carried out, on the basis of which the most significant bottlenecks will be revealed. The data used to create the simulation were collected based on the recording of working time and its use on the given production line. This kind of observation also revealed initial bottlenecks. For these bottlenecks, a methodology for their effectiveness and criteria for their optimization is subsequently proposed. Subsequently, an optimization solution is proposed, which is verified and evaluated by simulation. The collected data were then transferred to a digital model in the form of a simulation. Based on the results of the simulation, the given optimization proposals will be evaluated at the end. Production on the line has been optimized gradually and thanks to this we can see several variants that can be compared, and the best one can be chosen. The development of the entire optimization process is the possibility to increase the production output from the original 350 produced pieces up to 699 pieces in the same time horizon. In the process of optimization, methodologies were created that followed it and gave instructions for the optimization of productions of a similar nature. In addition to the mentioned optimization simulation variants, the paper also contains a design solution proposal in the form of 3D models, when several workstations are united into one workstation.

The manufacturing industry is currently undergoing a digital transformation as part of the mega-trend Industry 4.0. As part of this phase of the industrial revolution, traditional manufacturing processes are being combined with digital technologies to achieve smarter and more efficient production. To successfully digitally transform a manufacturing facility, the processes must first be digitized. This is the conversion of information from an analogue format to a digital format. The objective of this study was to explore the research area of digitizing manufacturing data as part of the worldwide paradigm, Industry 4.0. The formal methodology of a systematic mapping study was utilized to capture a representative sample of the research area and assess its current state. Specific research questions were defined to assess the key benefits and limitations associated with the digitization of manufacturing data. Research papers were classified according to the type of research and type of contribution to the research area. Upon analyzing 54 papers identified in this area, it was noted that 23 of the papers originated in Germany. This is an unsurprising finding as Industry 4.0 is originally a German strategy with supporting strong policy instruments being utilized in Germany to support its implementation. It was also found that the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Systems Design, in collaboration with the University of Paderborn in Germany, was the most frequent contributing Institution of the research papers with three papers published. The literature suggested future research directions and highlighted one specific gap in the area. There exists an unresolved gap between the data science experts and the manufacturing process experts in the industry. The data analytics expertise is not useful unless the manufacturing process information is utilized. A legitimate understanding of the data is crucial to perform accurate analytics and gain true, valuable insights into the manufacturing process. There lies a gap between the manufacturing operations and the information technology/data analytics departments within enterprises, which was borne out by the results of many of the case studies reviewed as part of this work. To test the concept of this gap existing, the researcher initiated an industrial case study in which they embedded themselves between the subject matter expert of the manufacturing process and the data scientist. Of the papers resulting from the systematic mapping study, 12 of the papers contributed a framework, another 12 of the papers were based on a case study, and 11 of the papers focused on theory. However, there were only three papers that contributed a methodology. This provides further evidence for the need for an industry-focused methodology for digitizing and analyzing manufacturing data, which will be developed in future research. F.R.

... As an essential step in reservoir management development, modelbased production optimization refers to seeking an optimal wellcontrol scheme that can achieve improved RM strategies (Chen and Reynolds, 2016;Chen et al., 2010;Dehdari et al., 2012;Hanssen et al., 2017;Jansen et al., 2006;Joppen et al., 2019;Yang et al., 2020;Zhang et al., 2018). By optimizing the control scheme of each well, decision makers are able to obtain the maximal economic benefit which is generally measured as net present value (NPV). ...

Multi-objective optimization (MOO), which involves more than one conflicting objective to be optimized simultaneously, is expected to provide efficient and comprehensive reservoir management (RM) solutions. The multi-objective production optimization problems are considered to be expensive due to the difficulties and cost of operations. Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs), which has proved to be an effective way to solve expensive problems, design computationally cheap function to approximate each objective function. Meanwhile, the optimization process involves a large number of decision variables. However, building a high-quality surrogate model has become difficult due to the “curse of dimensionality”. Base on characterization, an efficient multi-objective optimization framework called SA-RVEA-PCA is proposed to effectively deal with large-scale and computationally expensive simulation-based optimization problems, including three parts:1) Given a set of simulation results, a Gaussian process (GP) model based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for each objective function is trained so that the surrogate models can guide the optimization more accurately. 2) A reference vector guided evolutionary algorithm (RVEA) recently developed is employed as a multi-objective optimizer. 3) The information of uncertainty given by GP and angle-penalized penalized (APD) proposed in RVEA are used to update the surrogate models. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed algorithm is applied to a benchmark function, and two typical applications of MOO with synthetic reservoir models. Results show that the proposed method can provide more comprehensive and efficient RM with a higher convergence speed.
