In the first part of this project we investigated
application scenarios and technological requirements for RFID based
data acquisition in manufacturing. We found that more and more data is
collected and processed on all IT system levels. One reason is the
increasing use of RFID and sensor technology on the shop floor. In
order to be able to evaluate how to adopt RFID into the IT processes in
manufacturing we need an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art in
manufacturing operations management. Therefore in the second part of
the project we focus on an analysis of production data collection and
processing with the manufacturing IT systems. Standard manufacturing
systems implement a three layer architecture based on the enterprise
resource planning (ERP) layer (for order planning), the manufacturing
execution system (MES) layer (for factory control), and the shop floor
layer (for monitoring, machine control and production data
acquisition), Fig. 1. Requirements on flexibility and adaptability are
a strong driver for more open architectures, based on a much closer
integration of ERP and MES systems with the shop floor layer. This is
especially the case when data has to be decentralized and stored on
RFID tags. A tighter integration of production data acquisition (PDA)
into the ERP enables to support fast reactions to critical situations
and production planning with increased flexibility.
Figure 1: Simplyfied, pyramid architecture of data processing.
For a closer integration of ERP, MES and shop floor software, it is
crucial to analyse production data acquisition technologies (like
RFID). Manufacturing enterprises continuously collect, store, and
analyse production data such as data about the quality of the products
and process or material consumption data. The PDA must especially be
analysed in conjunction with
- (i) its corresponding application scenarios,
- (ii) the value which is generated from the acquired data, and
- (iii) technical requirements regarding distribution of data and
logic throughout the IT-Infrastructure.
These points directly impact which technologies for processing,
storing and exchanging shop floor data are applied. With regards to the
architecture, centralized data management in a master database vs.
decentralized data management must be evaluated along with the impact
on related business models.
First Part July 2005 till July 2007
RFID and sensor data in manufacturing: Mechanisms and standards for
data capturing, data management, and ERP integration. In
cooperation with the MPDV Microlab GmbH we have conducted six
case studies from industry. In the case studies we have analysed
possible use cases of RFID technology and whether the use of RFID in
production can bring competive advantages. The case studies and their
evaluation will be published in the book "RFID in Manufacturing" by
Springer in 2008.
Second Part July 2007 till December 2008
Production Data Collection The aim of the second part of this
project is to provide an in-depth analysis of the state of the art in
manufacturing operations management. Future demands in manufacturing
lead to the need of more data collection and processing on all IT
system levels. The main reason is the increasing use of RFID and sensor
technology; as evaluated in part one of this project. For optimal
processing of collected production data we need a tighter integration
of the different manufacturing IT system (ERP, MES, PDA, SCADA, PLC).
In this part of the project we analyze the state of the art in
manufacturing production data acquisition and we identify
manufacturers' current problems and demands with PDA. The analyzis is
conducted with the help of several case studies.
