Implementation of Cloud Services for Advance Management of Steel Transport for Continuous Casting Production

Abstract

Nowadays, manufacturing is on the threshold of the fourth industrial revolution. It means the increase of enterprise productivity requirements. To improve the productivity, factories have to implement advanced analytical algorithms. It means the increasing demand for big data technology and cloud services for modern manufacturing systems. Therefore, different technologies operating information from Web as well as from field level and top level manufacture information systems should offer high degree of interoperability. For instance, the implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts technologies will be presented on the example of steel transportation for continuous casting production, to access benefits unavailable before. This paper refers to the problems of Cloud Services and Big Data usage in order to enhance productivity of steel transportation system on metallurgical plant.

Industry Revolution IR 4.0: Future Opportunities and Challenges in Construction Industry

“…Therefore, engineering decision-making will be supported through verifying the design and during implementation phases of a project and using data from past projects to provide advice. This means engineers will be able to make evidence-based decisions with a high degree of certainty [11,17]. Consequently, the combination of BIM and construction industrialization is applying benefits of BIM and construction industrialization, instead of just uniting the concepts.…”

“…In spite of the excessive attention to the perception of IR 4.0 universal, there is no one officially description for it. However, it can be defined as "the integration of complex physical machinery and devices with networked sensors and software, used to predict, control and plan for better business and societal outcomes", or "a new level of value chain organization and management across the lifecycle of products" [17,18]. The four main ingredients of IR 4.0 are; CPS (links among the physical and cybernetic domain), the IoT, the IoS, and the intelligent units.…”

Main Principals and Issues of Digital Twin Development for Complex Technological Processes

“…That is, it changes its parameters to better match the current working mode of the physical object. Thus, there is a real opportunity to identify emerging anomalies in the early stages, to predict the behaviour of the object and to ensure implementation algorithms of dynamic optimisation, which ultimately allows significantly improve the reliability and efficiency of the equipment [1,[3][4][5]. …”
