| Popis: | Industry 4.0 and digitalization enable a badge size one production and individualized products in a feasible way. Especially the modularization of production components, like Cyber-Physical Production Modules (CPPM), has the potential to make the production environment more flexible. The concept of CPPM has been successfully implemented in the SmartFactory KL. In contrast, existing machines in factories often have a large lifespan and because of different vendors there are no standardized interfaces and functions. The question arises how existing production assets can be upgraded to fit in the industry 4.0 setup, making it more accessible especially for the workers in the production environment. The need to upgrade the existing machines and not excluding the operators is derived in the state of the art. A special focus addresses the specification of the so-called industry 4.0 (I4.0) component and the information supply on the shopfloor. An I4.0 component consists of a production asset with its Asset Administration Shell (AAS), realizing a standardized industry 4.0 communication. After deriving requirements from the state of the art section, the need to connect the human worker with the production assets on the shopfloor via the AAS is shown. Leading to a human-centered system structure for the human machine interaction. Furthermore, we propose the FutureFit strategy to transform a current production asset towards an I4.0 component. This serves as extension to the retrofit of equipment which is usually performed only once and not in a continuous way. Both parts together highlight the essential specifications of the AAS as the information and communication interface between human and machine. Together they provide a generic concept for the FutureFit approach in order to take a legacy production asset and upgrade it to an I4.0 component. |
