“…It helps HMI designers to design new HMI requests and visualize them. In another study, Martin et al [6] use a model driven approach to develop a plant model from partially available data required for semiautomated generation of HMIs. Authors propose a metamodel for the description of production plant components.…”

“…Moreover, web technologies are also being introduced in most of the industrial HMI systems [5], however, they introduce low performance and security related issues while configuring with real time data. Although numerous modern HMI systems available in market such as Simatic WinCC, Genesis 64, Wonderware Intouch, etc., to provide tool support for mobile HMI development [6], they are not freely available in market. Furthermore, the underlying development approaches and source code are not available publically.…”

A Model-Driven Mobile HMI Framework (MMHF) for Industrial Control Systems

With the advent of software technologies, over a period of time, the Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) have grown exponentially. Whereas, almost all ICSs comprise Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), which are the key component for monitoring and controlling complex industrial systems. For decades, traditional HMIs with simple User Interfaces (UIs) remained operational to minimize the complexities and resulting operational costs. However, due to the emergence of smartphone technologies, the perception about user interfaces has been transformed significantly and users now demand same sort of experience with industrial HMIs, as well. There are few industrial solutions, like, ICONICS GraphWorX to support the development of mobile HMI screens. However, such proprietary solutions are quite expensive. Furthermore, the underlying development approaches and source codes are not accessible in public domain. On the other hand, the state-of-the-art approaches for the development of native mobile HMI screens are hard to find in the literature. Consequently, there is dire need of a cost-effective, easy to use, open source framework for the development of native mobile HMI screens. In order to achieve this goal, here we propose, a Model-driven Mobile HMI Framework (MMHF). MMHF comprises, a Unified Modeling Language (UML) Profile for Mobile HMI (UMLPMH) for modeling of HMI screens. MMHF also includes, an open source transformation engine and a Model Driven Mobile-based HMI Code Generator (MDMHCG) to automatically transform UMLPMH models into target native mobile HMI implementations. Consequently, MMHF enables simpler way to design the HMI screens using UMLPMH and generates native Mobile HMI Screen implementations automatically using MDMHCG. The empirical evidence of MMHF is demonstrated through three (3) benchmark case studies, which prove that the MMHF is a feasible, cost effective and scalable solution to develop native HMI screens for wide-ranging ICSs.

“…SOA is a paradigm that permits the exchange of information between different parties throughout the implementation of three elements: service broker, service provider and service consumer. In this context, several protocols have been designed e.g., HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) and OPC-UA (Open platform Communication-Unified Architecture), among others [22,23]. In addition, some implementations are built using these protocols.…”

Implementing and Visualizing ISO 22400 Key Performance Indicators for Monitoring Discrete Manufacturing Systems

The employment of tools and techniques for monitoring and supervising the performance of industrial systems has become essential for enterprises that seek to be more competitive in today’s market. The main reason is the need for validating tasks that are executed by systems, such as industrial machines, which are involved in production processes. The early detection of malfunctions and/or improvable system values permits the anticipation to critical issues that may delay or even disallow productivity. Advances on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-based technologies allows the collection of data on system runtime. In fact, the data is not only collected but formatted and integrated in computer nodes. Then, the formatted data can be further processed and analyzed. This article focuses on the utilization of standard Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which are a set of parameters that permit the evaluation of the performance of systems. More precisely, the presented research work demonstrates the implementation and visualization of a set of KPIs defined in the ISO 22400 standard-Automation systems and integration, for manufacturing operations management. The approach is validated within a discrete manufacturing web-based interface that is currently used for monitoring and controlling an assembly line at runtime. The selected ISO 22400 KPIs are described within an ontology, which the description is done according to the data models included in the KPI Markup Language (KPIML), which is an XML implementation developed by the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) international organization.
