Design of information and measurement systems within the Industry 4.0 paradigm
Abstract
The subject of the study is the process of Information and Measuring System (IMS) designing as a component of the Cyber-Physical System (CPS) in the paradigm of Industry 4.0 (I4.0). The aim of the study is to develop methodological support for the design of IMS and Automatic Control Systems (ACS) as components of production CPS (CPPS), in particular, for Digital Factory. Objectives: to determine the conceptual model of IMS; choose the IoT model for structural synthesis, select the appropriate regulatory (sets of standards and implementation models) and hardware; perform R&D of IMS based on NB-IoT sensors; formalize the procedure for integrating components into the CPPS, develop the Asset Administration Shell. The methods used are: heuristic synthesis methods, experimental planning theory. The following results were obtained. The key role of optimally designed IMS level 4.0 in increased decision-making accuracy in CPPS management and control processes is demonstrated. The quality of control is improved both by quickly obtaining accurate information for updating models in cyber add-ons, and at the physical level, in ACS. The universal model of IMS implementation in CPPS was proposed. The stages of choosing the concept, structure, hardware and communication protocols of the IIoT ecosystem IMS + ACS have been performed. The methodology was tested during the development of the NB-IoT Tech remote monitoring system, which has a decentralized structure for collection data on resources consumed. The integration of the ecosystem as a component of CPPS at the appropriate levels of the architectural model RAMI 4.0 has been performed. Regulatory support has been formed and the functional aspect of the Asset Administrative Shell for CPPS integration has been developed. Conclusions. Scientific novelty: it is proposed to design the IMS as a component of the AAS of the cyber-physical system, according to the implementation methodology of its subsystems at the corresponding levels of RAMI4.0 and the selected IoT model. The new approach, called "soft digitalization", combines the approaches of Industry 3.0 and 4.0, it is designed for the sustainable development of automated systems to the level of cyber-physical systems and is relevant for the recovery of the economy of Ukraine. Practical significance of the results: the IoT-Tech system based on Smart sensors has been developed and tested. This information and measurement system is non-volatile and adapted to measure any parameters in automated systems of various levels of digitization.
