Outline • Introduction • Motivation • Background • The approach • Case Study • Interactions • Conclusion and the future work
Introduction Cloud Collaborative Manufacturing Networks (C2NET) project is an EU Horizon 2020 R&D project within the framework of the Factories of the Future (FoF) public- private partnership. The goal of the project is the development of Cloud-enabled tools for supporting SMEs supply network optimization.
Motivation • As C2NET provides optimization, plans monitoring and assessment features, the ERP data should be imported to the data collection framework in the C2NET. • The ERP data is expected to provided with several formats and technologies. • Some of the data could be not following standard or schemas like excel and text files. • A general approach is needed.
Background Manufacturing Systems and Supply Chain A manufacturing system is any system that organizes and executes processes for creating products as, for example, automotive assembly lines. The automation pyramid sketched in the well-known ISA-95 standard is the one that presents the structure of manufacturing enterprises. This representation depicts three major levels: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and shop floor. On the other hand, the supply chain is a system composed by resources that are involved in the manufacturing and delivery of products to customers.
Approach Company side • Provides the data as excel files via FTP server, SQL using REST or SQL over TCP. • The user accesses C2NET/UCP via Web browser. • The user is might access the data in the ERP using a user portal.
Approach C2NET side • Provide the user with interface via the UCP in order to configure the hub. • Connects to the LSH via PubSub broker for allowing data streams • Transforms and peresests the recieved data for further usage.
Approach Legacy System Hub side • Connects to the C2NET platform using a PUBSUB client which uses the Web socket standard. • Adapter and the PUBSUB client are connected using ActiveMQ broker • The logic of the adapters is predefined in the adapter classes. • The Function Block (FB) Manager creates adapter instances once a request is received.
Approach The PlcantCockpit project provided an open source framework for service-based applications. The concept includes the approach of Function Blocks, which is described in the IEC-61499 standard. The PlantCockpit project targeted the control and monitoring factory facilities. However, for the C2NET project, the PlantCockpit has be evolved as a LSH. Architecture of the LSH adapters
Interactions C2NET-LSH • Half configuration represents the configuration of the data accessibility in the ERP. • Data structure contains an HTML view of the data resources. • Output Schema includes the complete configurations • Data includes the required data from.
Interactions LSH - ERP • Half configuration represents the configuration of the data accessibility in the ERP. • Data structure contains an HTML view of the data resources. • Output Schema includes the complete configurations • Data includes the required data from.
Case Study • The Legacy System Hub is exploited in 3 pilots: o Automotive production supply chain, Valencia, Spain o Metal Working suppliers, Lisbon, Portugal o OEM for Oil Lubrication Systems, Jyväskylä, Finland • Two adapters has been tested during the implementation of the aforementioned pilots MS Excel and RESTful.

Conclusion • A generic approach is provided as third party mediator for binding ERP data with C2NET. • Visualization of the LSH provided the user with friendly way of configuring the data resources. • Three different pilots has been included in the validation process.
Future Work • Security involvement in the PUBSUB broker- client connections could be included for authenticated and encrypted communications • Conduct more validation tests with different types or standards of ERP data.
