Summary
This study introduces the AI- and security-empowered end-edge-cloud modular platform (AISE3CMP) to optimize complex industrial processes. The platform ensures secure data transmission and efficient AI integration, bridging the gap between research and industrial application.
Area of Science:
- Industrial Process Optimization
- Artificial Intelligence in Engineering
- Cyber-Physical Systems
Background:
- Complex industrial processes (CIPs) face challenges in stable optimization due to unclear mechanisms, fluctuating conditions, and regulations.
- A gap exists between academic AI algorithms and their practical industrial deployment.
- Existing platforms lack robust security and integration efficiency for CIPs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the AI- and security-empowered end-edge-cloud modular platform (AISE3CMP).
- To bridge the gap between AI research and industrial application in CIPs.
- To enhance optimization, control, and data security in industrial settings.
Main Methods:
- Developed a modular platform (AISE3CMP) with four integrated systems: whole-process AI modeling, end-side AI decision-making, edge-side AI control, and cloud-side AI optimization.
- Deployed a data isolation collection module at a municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) power plant for real-world data collection.
- Validated functionality and effectiveness using developed software and hardware.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated efficient and reliable signal transmission between platform systems.
- Confirmed the platform's capability to meet computational demands for AI-based optimization and control.
- AISE3CMP features a dual-security transmission mechanism and modular design for enhanced integration.
Conclusions:
- AISE3CMP is the first portable, end-to-end cloud platform with a dual-layer security mechanism for CIPs.
- The platform effectively addresses data transmission security but requires further enhancement in cloud-side protection and end-side operational safety.
- Future research directions include industry-specific large language model development through multi-region data sharing.

9.3K
Controlled nuclear fission reactions are used to generate electricity. Any nuclear reactor that produces power via the fission of uranium or plutonium by bombardment with neutrons has six components: nuclear fuel consisting of fissionable material, a nuclear moderator, a neutron source, control rods, reactor coolant, and a shield and containment system.
Nuclear Fuels
Nuclear fuel consists of a fissile isotope, such as uranium-235, which must be present in sufficient quantity to provide a...

335
Concrete in large quantities can be pumped across long distances for placing in inaccessible sites. This system comprises a hopper that receives concrete from a mixer, a pump to propel the concrete, and pipelines that facilitate its delivery.
For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Mechanical systems are analogous to to electrical networks where springs and masses play similar roles to inductors and capacitors, respectively. A viscous damper in mechanical systems functions similarly to a resistor in electrical networks, dissipating energy. The forces acting on a mass in such systems include an applied force in the direction of motion, counteracted by forces from the spring, a viscous damper, and the mass's acceleration. This interplay of forces is mathematically...
