INT-MANUS: Interactive Production Control in a Distributed Environment

In this paper we present preliminary results of the ongoing research of a new industrial control system with a special stress on user interfaces and data representation. The main focus of our research is the combination of traditional control interfaces for manufacturing machines with new ubiquitous services, handheld computers and Virtual Reality installations. Our system can support both industrial operators and managers by providing them with a new powerful tool, which can help them monitoring their environment and supervise production processes in a very convenient way. We also describe a miniature simulation model produced for development purposes. The research has been performed within the framework of EU-supported project INT-MANUS.

“…The European research project INT-MANUS (http://www.int-manus.org/) has been launched from the I*PROMS European Network of Excellence (http://www.iproms.org/) in order to address these issues in addition to aspects of human computer interface (HCI), software, and production systems (Schlegel et al, 2007). While improvements are already being undertaken with respect to technical requirements, interactive processes and interaction technology in a highly dynamic environment still needs further attention.…”

The European research project INT-MANUS embedded in the I*PROMS European network of excellence addresses the increasing demand for flexibility and adaptivity, which is summarised by rapid reconfiguration of complete factories, flexible reaction to new demands as well as related aspects in human computer interaction (HCI), software, and production systems. The project's main goal has been to develop a new technology for the production plants of the future: the Smart Connected Control Platform (SCCP). This platform allows controlling a factory with the help of an open distributed and learning agent platform that integrates machines, robots, and human personnel. It offers an enterprise service bus like concept for dynamic and decentrally controlled production systems, which flexibly connects machines and IT systems like robotic transport systems, terminals, mobile control systems, etc

The technological advances in graphics processing have provided an emerging transformation in the methods of interaction and visualization computational systems. The possibility to access, to visualize and to understand the information in the right place at the right time has been the main focus of mixed reality research in industry applications. These technologies have provided a potential solution in industrial environment especially regarding the downtime reduction of critical equipment in condition based maintenance CBM systems. Currently, there are many studies and projects to increase their use in maintenance processes. However, there are few researches regarding the interaction of the "HumanComputer Interface" module with other modules of the maintenance OSA-CBM architecture (Open System Architecture for Condition Based Maintenance). Another significant aspect is that most studies do not address the issue of data management (different formats) in mixed environments. Thus, this paper proposes a methodology for management and visualization of information using mixed reality for interaction with all modules of the OSA-CBM architecture.
