The project

The objective of this project is the analysis of sensor technologies that, together with the information obtained from the control parameters of production equipment, allows, from the application of Industrial Internet technologies (IIoT) and Big Data Analytics, an intelligent control of production and/or maintenance. Based on the study and analysis of these technologies, use cases will be evaluated and their feasibility will be analyzed with in order to define possible implementation projects.

Project objectives

Technical information on the project and its objectives:

In this project will study the possibilities that the new technologies offer for the improvement in the processes that can be carried out from several points of view through the capture and exploitation of information in the production systems. Currently, there are different technologies of Industrial Internet (IIoT), Data Analytics and BigData that allow the generation of knowledge in the field industrial and represent a new revolution in tools to help the decision making. From the point of view of the use of technologies in the new Industry 4.0, the project focuses on the capture,
storage and exploitation of information.

In order to achieve this objective, the following specific objectives are proposed:

• Classification and assessment of the various sensor technologies and electronic systems in relation to the physical variables to be measured (location indoors of mobile systems, pressure, temperature, humidity, power consumption, speed, vibration, flow, etc.). At this point, will integrate the analysis of sensor systems with the capacity of processed in-situ, which is known as Edge Analytics.
• Analysis of different production processes (plastic injection, metal forming , machining, welding, etc) to identify relevant control parameters and matching with the sensor technologies previously identified.
• Analysis of different protocols of IIoT communications (MQTT, COAP, ) for communication of information from machines and industrial processes with corporate systems and/or the cloud.
• Analysis and evaluation of available information, both from own equipment and external sensors, for the study of Big Data Analytics technologies that can be applied in its exploitation for the extraction of knowledge.
• Description of use cases and application possibilities of these technologies in the intelligent management of production and/or maintenance, taking into account criteria of efficiency, productivity, flexibility, cost savings, quality improvements, operator safety, etc.
• Generation of a portfolio of possible projects for the implementation of solutions for production and/or maintenance based on these technologies.

The project includes the following five work packages:

• Technology watch of sensor technologies and industrial communications.
• Analysis of production processes.
• Characterization of technologies for information management and knowledge extraction.
• Use cases.
• Dissemination of results and generation of project portfolios

Participating entities:

• CAAR (Coordinator)
• ITAINNOVA
