Time Data Management for Smart Factories

Project time: 2015 – 2016

Budget: 750 000 kr

Funding: SIP Produktion2030

Purpose and goal

The purpose of this project was to explore how accurate operation times can be ensured and kept updated by integrating the systems for process planning, data acquisition and business planning. The objective w as to develop a DM concept that includes a complete prototype and decision model for Time Data Management for Smart Factories. This goal has been achieved and a functioning prototype system is currently operational.

Results and expected effects

As stated, a prototype system is operational at the final assembly of Volvo Penta´s plant in Vara. Further w ork is underw ay to implement the system in more departments. The analysis of the system and the development of decision-making model has resulted in a publication in a scientific journal which is currently under review (round 2). The project results w ill be disseminated in popular formats via example. NyTeknik, trade magazine or the like when the publication is accepted

Approach and implementation

An extended current state analysis included operational training of the existing system, analysis and modeling of historical monitoring data and an extended literature for mapping the area. This constituted the basis for the requirement specifications for the prototype system and the development of decision-making model. MVV Information Technology further developed and integrated existing systems to the prototype that is operational today. During the process several interview s w ith key people such as production engineers and system developers w as also conducted.

Secure Shortcut (See Cut)

SeeCut focuses on cost-efficient production systems for secure collection, analysis, visualization, storage and sharing of production data. The project addresses the integration of new signals and sensors. For advanced products, like jet engine components, collecting data during manufacturing and usage is essential for quality assurance and remanufacturing. The project goals are to identify key technical requirements related to production data for use in digitalized value chains, define means to ease the run-time integration of new signals and data streams from manufacturing machinery and sensors, and define how to securely and cost-efficiently share data through the value chains in circular production.
