Automation

Actuator An actuator is a device that converts a control command into physical action. It is the output element in many control systems and is used to move, open, close, position,… Hardware Alarm Flood Suppression Alarm Flood Suppression is the reduction or filtering of many simultaneous alarms so operators can focus on the underlying event or primary fault. Operations Alarm Management Alarm Management is the practice of defining and handling alarms so operators can detect and respond to abnormal conditions effectively, focusing on alarm relevance, priority, and presentation. Operations Alarm Management System Alarm Management System is the system used to collect, prioritize, suppress, route, and present alarms for operator action. Software Analog Signal Scaling Analog Signal Scaling is the conversion of an analog input or output range into engineering units or another usable value range. It makes the signal easier to interpret. Operations Auto Scaling Auto Scaling is the automatic adjustment of compute or service capacity based on demand or policy. It increases or decreases resources to match workload needs. Software Autonomous Vessel Communications Autonomous Vessel Communications is the communications architecture that supports remote supervision, control, and data exchange for an autonomous vessel. It connects vessel autonomy with external oversight systems. Service Model Azimuth Azimuth is the horizontal reference used to describe direction or bearing relative to a chosen origin, commonly measured from north in navigation and pointing tasks. Concept/Framework Batch Process Control Batch Process Control is control of processes that operate in discrete batches rather than continuously, managing each batch as a defined operation according to a recipe or procedure. Operations Beam Hopping Beam Hopping is the dynamic activation or scheduling of satellite beams over time to allocate capacity where it is needed. Operations
