Conclusions and future work

A KPI monitoring system has been developed
  to monitor the critical performance of a real
  factory automation testbed.
Future work
  1. Setting thresholds (targets) for KPIs
  2. Alarm mechanism to announce interesting
     behaviors
  3. Conversion of shop floor and MES information
     into meaningful pieces of advices

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. In order to survive in the competitive global market, manufacturers need to make sure that their production systems are flexible, efficient. At the same time, they also need to take sustainability into consideration. European Council set out the energy 2020 strategy in March 2007. The goal is to reduce total energy use by 20%, increase renewable energy use to 20% and reduce green house gas emission by 20% by the year of 2020.
  2. The first step in our solution to achieve these goals is to define key performance indicators for crucial aspects of production systems. Considering the complex nature in modern production systems, we need to use IT technologies to gather data and process them in real time to KPIs.
  3. This is the model we use to develop our KPIs, this is borrowed from previous studies. The first is to define goals and objectives to all key aspects of the organization. This allows to identify potential relevant indicators. In the third step, we can select the indicators for implementation. Then we set targets for the indicators, implement the indicators, evaluate on the results and act on results. In this way, we are able to improve the production processes. In addition, unnecessary indicators should be eliminated and the introduction of new indicators should be considered. We start the process again to achieve new goals.
  4. The test bed used in this paper is a manufacturing system simulating the process of cell phone manufacturing by drawing it. Each cell is composed of a conveyor system, a robot, an energy meter and pen feeders.It draws three components on a piece of paper, a frame, a screen and a keyboard. Each component has three models.
  5. Each model can also have three different colours.
  6. All in all, we have 729 products manufactured on our production line.
  7. The production line has 12 cells. Cell 1 is the main cell, each product enters and departs the line from cell 1, cell 7 is used as a buffer. Other cells is in charge of the actual drawing processes. There are 4 embedded controllers on each cell publishing the device information as web services concerning status of the robot, the conveyor system the pen feeder and energy consumption.On cell one, we have controller related to a machine vision system publishing the inspection results.
  8. Concerning the implementation of the KPI monitoring system, we shall take a look at the technologies we are using first. We use Spring web services to implement a SOAP web service to enable to communication between the production line and our monitoring system. Esper is a complex event processing component, we use it to process the raw events to KPIs. A Spring MVC framework is used to implement a web application, in which we use Hibernate as Data persistence API, the database we use is MySQL. The front-end technologies we use for visualization are HTML, jQuery and Google Charts.
  9. Then, we can take a look at the Complex event processing engine. It is a rule based engine. We can edit rules to calculate our indicators, each rule is associated with a listener class. They are registered in the engine. Then we send every event to the engine in real time. A match on the rules invokes the update method in the listener class.
  10. This slide shows the indicators concerning efficiency, energy, reliability and quality.In energy, we have total energy consumption on each cell, energy consumption for one pallet. We are also concerned about reliability because more reliable production line increases the efficiency and decreases the financial loss.At last, we have indicators for our inspection results. We can monitor the quality rate of each component as well as the whole product.
  11. A KPI monitoring system has been developed. We can monitor crucial aspects of a factory automation testbed.Our future work will concentrate on target setting. We also plan to add alarms to each indicator to report interesting behaviours. In long terms, we plan to convert the information in numbers into meaningful advices.
