Abstract
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.
