Knowledge quiz

It’s time to put what you’ve learned to the test, get 8 questions right to pass this week.

Which statement best describes machine learning (ML) models and solutions used by SAP for asset health and performance monitoring?

Choose the correct answer.

ML models are powerful and versatile and can be easily and cost-efficiently applied to any kind of asset health and performance monitoring problem as long as there is enough training data.

For complex systems and operating conditions, and if you have limited training data available, ML models are often too complex, too expensive, and will not have the required accuracy. Alternative or additional methods should then be considered.

ML models should never be used as a tool to monitor critical processes as they are essentially just statistical methods and advanced pattern recognition. ML models are mostly applicable to basic trending and sorting/structuring problems.

SAP does not offer ML models or methods for condition monitoring of asset health and performance monitoring, as such models are considered commodity functions that will not add value to asset management solutions.

What are the main features of the digital twin for asset health and performance monitoring?

There are three correct answers.

It will monitor critical infrastructure or assets/equipment to better focus inspection, prioritize maintenance activities, and enable new strategies like risk-based or predictive maintenance.

You can run all digital twin instances on a central scalable platform to detect abnormal behavior early on, provide failure mode analytics, and recommend maintenance actions

It provides a 3D visualization of the production equipment and processes that is primarily used for presenting information and data relating to the asset and underlying material master data.

It provides a detailed master data structure for the production equipment, including functional locations and the full maintenance history.

Outputs from the solution will typically be processed and interpreted, and where events exceed the specified threshold, the system can send notifications and provide input to work orders, maintenance plans/budgets, and so on.

Which statements correctly describe the value of digital twins for asset health and performance monitoring for both manufacturers of equipment and for owners/operators of equipment?

There are three correct answers.

A digital twin is both an enabler for new maintenance strategies and a tool for improving operational efficiency of complex assets.

Digital twins will only be relevant and valuable for owners/operators during the commissioning and initial testing phases to validate the performance of the assets/system “as installed”.

Digital twins can be created by manufacturers from engineering models and sold in parallel with physical products. They can also run onboard assets to generate data supporting “pay-per-use” business models and extended service offerings from manufacturers.

Digital twins for asset health and performance monitoring require that the users also run SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Digital twins can be run operationally at the site of the asset owner to generate unique insights into performance, behavior, and unexpected changes / early onset of failure.

What can users achieve with “Associate” when creating interactive service instructions?

There are two correct answers.

Create a new visualization structure.

Create a new data source.

Merge another visualization into the current visualization.

Tag each node with a Usage ID.

What is the right sequence of steps to transfer a new version of a PLM recipe alternative to update the related BOM alternative?

Choose the correct answer.

Go to “Synchronize Recipe to BOM”, create a new synchronization unit, run the reconciliation workbench, solve possibly shown conflicts, Save to BOM

Go to “Synchronize Recipe to BOM”, select an existing synchronization unit, run the reconciliation workbench, solve possibly shown conflicts, Save to BOM

Go to “Synchronize Recipe to BOM”, solve possibly shown conflicts, select an existing synchronization unit, run the reconciliation workbench, Save to BOM

Go to “Synchronize Recipe to Master Recipe”, create a new synchronization unit, run the reconciliation workbench, solve possibly shown conflicts, Save to BOM

What are some of the ways that plant operators can obtain engineering simulation-based digital twins?

There are two correct answers.

The CDO can provide them

Through internal R&D teams

Through SAP partners

Through SAP Store

Configure the viewer template.

10.

What is the purpose of the handover to manufacturing functionality in SAP PLM for process industries?

There are two correct answers.

To create the necessary master data for the manufacturing process

To create digital twins

To convert engineering BOMs into manufacturing BOMs

To create or update PP-PI master recipes or BOMs based on a new PLM recipe version
