Current trend in industrial systems is to make devices more intelligent and distribute the control into smaller components. The intelligent devices produce big amount of data which can be provided to plant personnel for maintaining the proper function and desired production performance. Large systems may contain hundreds of intelligent controllers, therefore, there is a need for a system that can...
Monitoring and fault diagnosis systems are vital for industrial robot systems for better awareness of system status and shortening the down time. In many cases, the monitoring systems are not upgraded after the robot first installation, because the modifications could cause undesired disturbance for the production. However, for better monitoring and diagnostics rich information is essential that typically...
The incessant need of the industry to optimize processes due to market demands derived in a huge investment on information communication technologies implementation during last decades, in the industrial automation domain. This caused the implementation of paradigms as service-oriented or event-driven architectures in factories, used for wide data integration. Moreover, the use of knowledge representation,...
After installation, safety systems are usually not upgraded anymore, because producers have no financial incentive to impose modifications on the production line . The traditional approach to installing safety systems is to connect all safety components within a workcell in series. The crucial associated problem is the subsequent identification of the source of a fail state. This paper proposes a...
This paper presents the selection of a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to improve the awareness of different manufacturing assets, including those related to energy efficiency. The implementation relies on Service Oriented Architecture deployed by Web Services and the further processing of the generated events by the application of an Event Processing Language based on rules. The proposed...
