Bio-Cybernetic Control System (BCS)

With the industry progress the accidents rate and financial losses size in various branches of modern industry increased significantly. The main reason of above-mentioned humanitarian and financial losses are belated, incorrect and non-optimal actions in diagnostics, maintenance and operating of civil and military equipment. The acute necessity in technical instruments to provide significant decreasing the above losses appears. To meet with need Ergatonic Company has developed BCS. 

What is BCS? 

BCS is principally novel and industry evaluated decisions making system, which functions on the basis of formalization the unconscious activity process of a brain in viability maintaining of an organism. Based on the above-mentioned bio-cybernetics architecture, BCS is composed of based applied program packages and integrated modules to provide optimal solution of all possible management tasks arising in Operating & Maintenance process of Complex equipment for availability and safety maintaining of the equipment in the limits of its life cycle.

Place of BCS in O&M Environment of   Special Equipment

BCS Basic Functions: 

Technical State Control – Monitoring the parameters characterizing functioning process of complex industrial equipment and recognition all possible types of its technical state.

Configuration Management – Determination who and what should act for ensure readiness of complex equipment with regard to its actual technical state.

Emergency Maintenance – Recognition emergency state of machines in complex equipment and forming reliable recommendations for preventing of accidents.

Corrective Maintenance – Forming optimal instructions for location the actual defect, which is initial reason of evident failure of complex equipment.

Based Maintenance – determination optimal terms for maintenance of complex equipment.

Capital Repair – determination optimal terms for capital repair of complex equipment.

Operative Control – Selection optimal mode for effective use of complex equipment.

Operating Management – Estimation Availability, Functional Efficiency and Safety Indexes of complex equipment for forming optimal strategy in order to increase the above viability indexes of complex equipment and decrease Operating & Maintenance cost of the equipment.

Distinctive Features of BCS  

Here are presented the integrated modules, which reflect the distinctive features of BCS in comparison with modern technical decisions in the field of diagnostics, maintenance and operating of complex equipment.

Testability Coverage Maximization Module – Provides selection minimum number of parameters for reliable control of equipment’s technical state.

Serviceability State Control Module - Provides real-time identification of so-called “latent defects”, which didn’t lead yet to destruction functions of complex equipment.

Emergency State Control Module – Recognizes immediately emergency and pre-emergency states of complex equipment before they became evident.

Defect’s Location Module - Generates optimum instructions for searching the initial reasons of evident failures in working equipment with regard to reliability of structural elements of the equipment and duration for checking the parameters characterizing the technical state of above structural elements.

Maintenance Optimization Module - Determines the optimum terms for maintenance of the equipment with regard to financial losses caused by latent defects arising in the process of the equipment’s functioning.

Repair Optimization Module - Determines the optimum terms for capital repair of complex equipment with regard to financial losses caused aging of the equipment.

Using Optimization Module - Selects optimal mode for effective use of multi-regimes equipment with regard to its actual technical state.

Viability Estimation Module - Provides on-line estimation of availability, functional efficiency and safety indexes of complex equipment with regard to quality indexes of real operating and maintenance system of the equipment.

Advantages of BCS:  

Purposefulness – BCS makes optimal solution of all possible management tasks arising in Operating & Maintenance process of industrial equipment on the united criterion of minimum expenses to provide given technical availability, functional efficiency and safety using indexes of the equipment.

Technical Uniqueness – BCS is a new type management system, which possesses advantages of both centralized and decentralized management systems and deprives the storages of these management systems. 

Economic Uniqueness - BCS is decisions making system, which for the first time in the world practice provides significant increasing the productivity of labor and norm of profit in various branches of real economics. 

Flexibility – The composition of BCS functions is determined by special tasks arising in Operating & Maintenance process of real equipment at concrete enterprise.

Feasibility – The Ergatonic Company has experience in development of BCS for optimum decisions making in diagnostics, maintenance and operating of complex system such as ground – air missile complexes, board preventing collisions system and navigation and landing system of orbital space shuttle.  

Industry Evaluated Benefit from BCS 

 Anticipated Benefit from BCS of Aircraft

Safety index of  airplanes using will increase in 8.5 – 10.5 times. All above-mentioned indexes of complex equipment’s viability will correspond to values, which were previously industry evaluated.
