Brushing Off Old Data: Gleaning Insights from Manufacturing Process Data

Lying hidden within the servers and notebooks of the manufacturing communities, there exists a wealth of untapped knowledge. It is long overdue that we brush off this diligently collected process data and begin to learn the secrets it hides.

Bob will discuss his (occasionally challenging) journey to extract useful insights from a treasure trove of manufacturing data. Demonstrating the power of data analytics in a time-pressured environment, he introduces the ability to learn from previous datasets to provide real scientific insight.

During the talk he will highlight how MATLAB^® was integral throughout, aiding rapid prototyping of ideas along with extraction, data processing, visualization, and analysis.

Bob leads a multi-disciplinary team at GlaxoSmithKline, looking after the engineering development and launch of toothpaste products for Sensodyne worldwide. He graduated with a PhD in chemical engineering before joining GlaxoSmithKline, initially doing material science in Pharmaceuticals, then moving to Consumer Healthcare.

What’s New in MATLAB R2019a and R2019b

In this session, Ned and Joe introduce new capabilities in the MATLAB^® product family in Releases 2019a and 2019b. They share their insights into how MATLAB is designed to be the language of choice for millions of engineers and scientists worldwide. Attend this session for a unique opportunity to learn from two of the key designers of MATLAB.

Ned Gulley is part of the MATLAB^® development team at MathWorks. He assesses new technology, helps direct product strategy, and supports development teams. Ned joined the company in 1991 and has led the development of Fuzzy Logic Toolbox™ and the MATLAB Interface team. In addition to working on products, Ned works closely with MATLAB web service teams, including the MATLAB Central web community, which he helped launch in 2001. Prior to MathWorks, Ned was an aerospace engineer working on flight control research and simulation at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. He holds a B.S.E. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University and an M.S.E. in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from Stanford University.

Joe Hicklin works at MathWorks as part of the development team. Currently he assesses new technology, helps direct product strategy, and supports development teams. Joe joined the company in 1989 and led the development of Simulink^® and Handle Graphics^®. Joe holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from Oregon State University and an M.S. in computer science and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Idaho.

Our Transformation Journey

Chris is an engineering and technology executive for Rolls-Royce Engine Control Systems. He has more than 29 years as a professional engineer and manager in space and aeronautical equipment systems, including new product introduction of mechanical, electronic and electrical systems, and products. He has worked on satellite cryogenic cooling systems, airframe electrical power generation, flight control actuation, and engine control systems. He has held a variety of roles, including technical manager for Typhoon EJ200’s fuel control system, chief of technology for TRW Aeronautical Systems, quality and product safety director, director of programme management, Trent 1000 programme director, and vice president of strategy and business development.

Chris was on the UK Aerospace Innovation and Growth Team (2002–2003) that outlined the UK 20-year aerospace strategy, and from 2009–2011, he was a member of the Aerospace Technology Steering Group, integrating the UK equipment sector inputs for the National Aerospace Technology Strategy.

Our Journey Towards Model-Based Product Lines

Rolls-Royce Control Systems is implementing a development process transformation project, called ECOSIStem. It aims to achieve a step-change in quality, whilst reducing development cost and lead-time, through the introduction of Model-Based Product Lines for all on-engine software. This new process will maximise reuse in designs at all levels, from high-level operational concepts through to DO-178 certification evidence. The time to market for novel products, such as Hybrid Aero Propulsion, Intelligent Engine, and IoT services, is also being improved by ECOSIStem.

In this talk, Matt Ley discusses what this change means for his organisation and how it is being put into practice. ECOSIStem is a multi-year project, staffed by a dedicated team, with delivery responsibility to mainstream programmes. It has presented opportunities to introduce principles from modern development methodologies, such as Agile and Lean, into the organisation.

ECOSIStem has allowed the team to rethink where design detail is captured and avoid over-specification, in-particular between systems and software. This has been built on the combination of System Composer™ and Simulink^®. Throughout the project, the ECOSIStem team has worked closely with MathWorks to shape the capability of System Composer.

Matt Ley is head of Systems and Software for Control Systems at Rolls-Royce. He has had leadership roles in Engineering in Combustion, Turbines, Rotatives and Control Systems including chief of Combustion and Turbines for the world’s most efficient Civil Large Engine, Trent XWB, and head of Hydro-Mechanical Engineering for Control Systems. Prior to joining Rolls-Royce, Matt worked for Marconi, HSBC Investment Bank, and AstraZeneca. He has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Imperial College London.

Controlling Complexity at McLaren Automotive with Model-Based Design

Control software is delivering more functionality for systems everywhere and high-performance super cars are no exception. In this talk Matthew discusses how using many of the latest MATLAB features including projects, templates, and toolboxes have helped to keep this complexity under control while achieving increasingly stringent quality and safety standards. He will discuss the benefits to McLaren of adopting a micro-services architecture to enable greater encapsulation and reuse of control systems across projects including some of the challenges they have overcome in transitioning the control software from legacy architectures into AUTOSAR.
