A Modular Architecture for the Design of Condition Monitoring Processes
Abstract The increasing complexity of production plants in the context of Industry 4.0 poses new challenges with regards to technical maintenance and process control. In this context, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) for intelligent condition monitoring enable fault tolerant, predictable production systems. Unfortunately, CPS and Condition Monitoring System development is challenging due to the distribution of computational tasks among heterogeneous industrial IT architectures. It is usually started from scratch, which is time consuming and error prone. In times of CPS the employee as maintenance worker, who ensures the availability of production machinery, is still important. In order to address these challenges, this publication we propose a modular architecture for Socio CPS based condition and process monitoring as well as fault diagnostics.
