Description

How can we avoid that equipment experts spend so much time supporting operations?
Include an overview of which and how interventions are done remotely across groups.
Which interventions can be automated and what has to be considered (robustness of the solutions, extensive pre-studies and risk analysis of possible failure modes, redundancy designed into the system, remote diagnostics and resets, additional hardware requirements, …)
What is the status of automated equipment testing (AccTesting) across the complex?
What is the status of post-mortem and maintenance prediction?
Examples of application: drift correction of crystal channeling orientation in SPS and LHC
EPA WP8 status
MKP/MKDH automatic vacuum analysis
RF automation (automatic gain switching in the SPS LLRF)

Is there any MD time requested before LS3 related to the points addressed in the talk?
