Abstract

There is an increasing trend of manufacturing new products in small lot sizes even though their specifications may not be known before the order actually arrives. This requires a high level of agility and in particular support on the software side. Thus, dynamic reconfiguration of controllers and appropriate communication paradigms that can adapt to the changing infrastructure on the factory floor are desirable. This paper presents work towards introducing a plug and produce-style approach, a paradigm where devices can be dynamically added, removed, or reconfigured on the factory floor. Our example is based on OPC UA on an assembly line with an IEC 61499-based environment to introduce flexibility, interoperability, and fault tolerance.

Funding

We’d like to acknowledge tremendous contributions from our students Jani Lehtinen, Tero Huhta-Koivisto, Jan Juvonen, Erik Reijonen, and Kevin Solvin in implementing the case study and also working on the demonstrator setup. We’d like to thank our department technician Mr Vesa Korhonen who helped in arranging technical support at the Aalto Factory of the Future space, and particularly for this case study, for the EnAS demonstrator and Festo Robotino platform. Also, special thanks to Mr Jouni Aro, CTO of ProSys OPC who had given us the permission to use the ProSys OPC UA library for this project. This work is under the Aalto Factory of the Future initiative 3 funded by Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering and is also partly supported by the Finland-China’s SISTEMIA project.
