Project Overview

This diagram shows the topics that were considered in the context of the project "Social License to Automate". Furthermore, an overview of the methodology is given.

DSM Interaction and acceptance model

This figure shows the DSM interaction and acceptance model developed within the project framework, the central trust-building interaction features as well as their changing relevance for the building of trust and acceptance depending on the automation level.

Challenging Fuels

Metal fraction sorted out from the fuel material of a circulating fluidized bed system. Metal residues and wood with nails are sorted out and not burned.

Research output by population

In the diagram, the number of published articles per hundred thousand inhabitants was calculated for each country, making the contribution more visible regardless of the population size of the individual countries. In this evaluation, Austria ranks 7th. Only all articles including 2019 were used here.

Digital Technologies to Increase the Energyefficiency in Electric Motor Systems

The figure gives an overview of the technologies that were identified as relevant for energy efficiency in electric motor systems in several workshops, in the survey and interviews. Starting on the left-hand side of this picture technologies listed are smart sensors, advanced control on the level of machines and the Internet of things enabling communication between the different levels and components (in dark blue). Furthermore, the next level is the use of possibilities to analyse data and optimize operation (in green): data analytics on both the level of motor systems and on the level of production lines or even the whole company. Continuous monitoring of the different appliances is also significant. Technologies adding advantages to these applications (in grey) are digital twins, cloud-based services and artificial intelligence. Augmented reality can help to implement the suggested measures. Three technologies that are not directly related to the optimization of motor driven systems, but are of further interest include drones, 3D printing and advanced robotics (in dark blue at the right side of Figure 1). Starting on the left-hand side in Figure 1, technologies listed are smart sensors, advanced control on the level of machines and the Internet of things enabling communication between the different levels and components (in dark blue).

Important instruments to overcome barriers to using digital production technologies

Around three quarters of the respondents consider the development of education programmes and the standardisation process to harmonise protocols, as well as subsidies for research as important policy instruments to overcome these barriers.

Options for detecting pump and motor malfunctions through current and voltage analysis

This diagram shows the cross-section of a radial pump on the left. This is connected via an axle to a coupling with the cross-section of an electric motor. This motor has a connection to a rectangle labeled FU for frequency converter, the thicker connection splits into three lines just before it, representing three phases. Three differently colored lines are drawn on these lines with small circles, which represent the three-phase current and voltage measurement and lead to a small upright rectangle. On the far right of the pump is a field with text that points to the pump cross-section with an arrow. The text states the following: An increase in the noise level around the supply frequency is typical of pump cavitation. Another field points to the coupling between pump and motor, a small rectangle as a connection between pump and motor axis. The text reads: An increase in the rotation frequency of the motor and its harmonics as well as an increase in the noise level are typical of a coupling fault. Another field points to the point where the motor axle comes out of the motor housing, where a bearing is marked. The text in this field reads: An increase in the cage frequency of the rolling bearing is typical of bearing wear. The text fields mentioned so far are highlighted in blue. This color indicates mechanical faults. Another field with a red background indicates the inside of the electric motor. The text reads: Short circuits in the stator winding typically show an increase in odd current harmonics. The red color indicates an electrical fault.
