“…The scenarios in the demonstration use-case were rather straightforward by design, in order to clearly exhibit the following features of the MESS: (1) interlinking of heterogeneous resources both (2) of production and of internal logistics; (3) inclusion of physical resources and their full-fledged digital twins; (4) integration of both legacy and state-of-the-art I4.0 ready, as well as (5) of fully automated and human-assisted system components; (6) and demonstration of their easy interoperability. Here, the emphasis is on the fact that some of the integrated elements-such as an assembly line [56], human-robot collaborative workcells [57], or a small fleet of AGVs [58]-were complete, complex CPSs themselves, accompanied by their specific, custom-tailored digital twins.…”

Digital transformation and artificial intelligence are creating an opportunity for innovation across all levels of industry and are transforming the world of work by enabling factories to embrace cutting edge Information Technologies (ITs) into their manufacturing processes. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs) are abandoning their traditional role of legacy executing middle-ware for embracing the much wider vision of functional interoperability enablers among autonomous, distributed, and collaborative Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS). In this paper, we propose a basic methodology for universally modeling, digitalizing, and integrating services offered by a variety of isolated workcells into a single, standardized, and augmented production system. The result is a reliable, reconfigurable, and interoperable manufacturing architecture, which privileges Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) and its rich possibilities for information modeling at a higher level of the common service interoperability, along with Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) lightweight protocols at lower levels of data exchange. The proposed MES architecture has been demonstrated and validated in several use-cases at a research manufacturing laboratory of excellence for industrial testbeds.

Traditional manufacturing control systems such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) were not designed for Industry 4.0 paradigm. Industry 4.0 implies that more data variables must be automatically monitored and data must be captured at a higher frequency: from one value of a few key variables to values of several variables captured at frequencies of seconds. Thus, new architectures and tools are required to merge Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT) fields and to meet Industry 4.0 requirements. This paper proposes a lightweight architecture based on micro-services and time series data requirements to connect to manufacturing process controllers, and to capture, store, monitor and visualize relevant data about the process. Moreover, a reference implementation based on Open Source tools is presented. This implementation has been validated by members of the maintenance team of a factory from Lecta, a paper manufacturer. The implementation has proven to be a new valuable tool providing further insights and customized alarms of the manufacturing process.
