Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for orchestrating and integrating services offered by service-oriented automation components from a production level into a higher level such as company level.
  • One approach to solving technical, organizational, and financial constraints is to view a set of production units as a collection of distributed, autonomous, intelligent, and reusable units operating as a set of collaborative entities.
  • Each of these units typically includes hardware mechatronics, control software, and embedded intelligence and is capable of communicating with others.
  • each collaborative unit can initiate actions at any given time and dynamically interact with others to solve both local and global tasks, taking into account that the units are embedded within an infrastructure such as a manufacturing enterprise environment.
  • a partial solution is a mix of stand-alone devices at the manufacturing level that can provide services but can also request services from other levels, such as a decision-making system (DMS), to a manufacturing execution system ( Manufacturing Execution System; MES) as well as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
  • DMS decision-making system
  • MES Manufacturing Execution System
  • ERP enterprise resource planning
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing a method and a system for analyzing the operating behavior of autonomous service-oriented automation and production devices at the production level and their integration into a flexible IT enterprise architecture.
  • the goal is to provide self-initiative control of the equipment at the manufacturing level, as opposed to the typically more service-oriented factory automation systems where devices are merely providers of higher level services such as DMS, MES, and / or ERP.
  • the idea describes orchestration middleware for integrating service-oriented manufacturing automation components into a flexible IT enterprise architecture.
  • the idea focuses on automation and production systems based on distributed, reconfigurable and service-oriented devices and their integration from a higher level manufacturing level (such as enterprise / business / production levels).
  • the resulting middleware infrastructure directs and connects the manufacturing fabric to the higher level using a vectorial function and a device-based layout-based orchestration. All inter- and intra-level interactions are service-oriented.
  • the inventive method is characterized in that the service-oriented automation components are coupled via a higher-level orchestration middleware and that the services offered by the service-oriented automation components use a vector-based function and an orchestration of service-oriented Automation component based layouts are integrated into the higher level.
  • a set of services offered by the service-oriented automation component is mapped into a set of functions / vectors or function vectors.
  • a further preferred procedure provides that an aggregation of services is carried out by assembling the set of functions / vectors or function vectors, with a vector space of the service-oriented automation component formed therefrom containing all possible individual and aggregated services.
  • the orchestration of service-oriented automation components-based layout of the manufacturing facility is configured by composing the vector spaces of the service-oriented automation components, creating restrictions, and creating new sets of aggregated services.
  • vector spaces represent executable processes which are connected to the services and which are called and applied by each higher level having access to them.
  • the orchestration middleware can be coupled with external service-oriented components such as production orchestrators and / or decision-felling systems. Inter-level interactions and intra-level interactions can be service-oriented.
  • a system for orchestrating and integrating services offered by service-oriented automation components of a shop floor from a higher-level manufacturing level is characterized by the service-oriented automation components being distributed via an orchestration middleware using a vectorial function and an orchestration of service -oriented automation components based layouts are coupled.
  • the vectorial function or a set of vector functions from a set of services which is provided by the service provider.
  • oriented automation component is offered, is mapped and that the function vectors to a vector space of the service-oriented automation components to form individual and / or aggregated services are composed.
  • the orchestration middleware is coupled with external service-oriented components such as production orchestrator or decision-felling systems.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an IT enterprise architecture with middleware for orchestrating and integrating services of service-oriented automation components of a production facility
  • Fig. 2 a schematic representation of the aggregation of two services
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the composition of services by means of vectors.
  • FIG. 1 shows, purely schematically, an orchestration middleware OM, which can also be referred to as production facility orchestration and integrator, for the integration of service-oriented production automation components D1, D2, FC from a production plant level into a higher level such as IT enterprise architecture.
  • Fig. 1 shows the integration between devices Dl, D2, FC of manufacturing FS and the necessary interface OM to the higher levels HL in the form of services S.
  • These services S represent diverse and sufficient functionalities of the manufacturing facility FS, in the higher Level HL and to be integrated, and provide a high level of control and information feedback.
  • Some of the higher level HL features exposed include, but are not limited to: topology information, maintenance, multiple control operations, conflict resolution, and process analysis and monitoring.
  • the approach is based on a bottom-up perspective (of the devices) to adapt the top-down approach from the upper levels HL.
  • the idea uses and extends the concept of service based on adoption and integration from the device level to the enterprise level HL.
  • Each production device Dl, D2, FC integrated mechatronics, communication and control aspects
  • the sequence and connection of services offered by each device follows characteristics and restrictions generated by the hardware (mechatronics), communication, and possible control aspects of the device.
  • the set of services offered by the device can be mapped into a set of functions (vectors) as shown in FIG.
  • the composition of the function s vectors allows the recognition of all possible combinations (aggregation of services), because the vector space of the device contains all possible (allowed) individual and aggregated services.
  • the configuration of a layout implies the composition of devices and of course, formally speaking, composition of their vector spaces, creation of new restrictions and of course a new set of aggregated services.
  • the vector space analysis gives all necessary acceptable specifications about the complete set of services offered by a given configuration.
  • the vector spaces may also represent executable processes associated with the services that are accessible and manageable by each level that has access to it. This determines the integrated behavior of processes that retrieve or control available services. Processes can be distinguished from the automation processes (in the manufacturing plant), integration processes, production processes to the business and enterprise processes.
  • the commissioning of a fixed layout implies that the sequence of services requested respects mechatronics, communications and pricing specifications / features / restrictions such as shared resources, process capacity, competitions, etc. that are explicitly included in the topology of the aggregated service.
  • the orchestration topology for a given automation / production system is now able to interface with external service-oriented components, such as product orchestrators PO and decision making systems (DMS).
  • external service-oriented components such as product orchestrators PO and decision making systems (DMS).
  • the decision-making system DMS may be offered by the orchestration middleware OM services to solve real-time decisions.
  • a defined workflow associated with a product may be able to invoke services (individual or aggregated) offered by the orchestration topology of the manufacturing facility FS, only if the right interface exists, and the orchestrator PO associated with the product recognizes which services are to be found in the orchestration topology of the production facilities.
  • the manufacturing orchestration topology operates as a systems integrator integrating SOA-based manufacturing with other S OA-based components of an enterprise IT architecture (see FIG. 1):
  • control providers + machine providers integrated higher-level manufacturing facilities, such as production management systems (control provider + MES (manufacturing execution system) / ERP (enterprise resource and planning system)).
  • production management systems control provider + MES (manufacturing execution system) / ERP (enterprise resource and planning system)
  • the application example according to FIG. 2 shows how the configuration of the production site is carried out, in the form of an aggregation of services and the resulting orchestration.
  • the two devices, conveyor 1 and conveyor 2 each have 4 dimensional vector spaces, which are mapped in 4 corresponding services.
  • conveyor 1 provides services Sa, Sb, Sl, S2 and conveyor 2 services Sc, Sd, S3 and S4.
  • the services S1, S2, S3 and S4 represent the necessary connection interface which manages the input and output transmission services for each conveyor.
  • the resulting dimension is 7 and consequently the new configuration of the manufacturing facility provides 7 services.
  • a special case is the aggregation of services Sl and S4 into a single service Sl, 4, since these represent a dependent logic: the transfer-out operation of the service Sl needs the transfer-in operation of S4.
  • the new service Sl, 4 and the other non-dependent services are part of the new 7-dimensional vector space.
  • the invention makes it possible to configure flexible production sites in the form of an orchestration method and to specify elements in order to obtain the middling develop leware for transparent integration of manufacturing components (such as devices) specified by their services in an SOA-based IT enterprise architecture.
  • Complementary implementations The approach uses the concepts of service orientation to extend the adaptation and integration from the device level up to the enterprise level. Several advantages can be clearly recognized from this idea. On the one hand, the "inherited" features of service-oriented architectures are merged with traditional configuration approaches for manufacturing and, on the other hand, a new and innovative orchestration approach, formally based on the theory of vector analysis.
  • Orchestration describes the automatic merging, coordination and management of services / services.
  • the orchestration process is performed by a participant (service / service provider / owner) called Orchestrator.
  • Orchestration generally describes an executable manufacturing or business process; Both internal and external services can be orchestrated. The process flow is controlled by a participant.
  • Middleware in English, for example, "interim application” describes application-neutral programs in computer science, which mediate between applications in such a way that the complexity of these applications and their infrastructure is hidden.Medievalware can also be seen as a distribution platform, ie as a protocol (or protocol bundle) In contrast to lower-level network services, which handle simple communication between computers, middleware supports interprocess communication, and middleware connects software components to support the interoperability between the named components.
  • SOA Service Oriented Architecture
  • SOA is a paradigm for structuring and exploiting distributed functionality, which is the responsibility of different service / service owners / participants.
  • SOA is an information technology approach in the area of distributed systems in order to structure and use services and services of manufacturing companies.
  • a set of functions (vectors) or function vectors can be understood as a description of functionalities / capabilities / restrictions of the devices / components and the relationships between said functionalities in the form of linear equations.
  • Each function can also be identified as a basic vector of a vectorial field. In general, the set of base vectors forms a vectorial field. If these functions describe services, then we have a vectorial field of services. As in all vectorial fields: the composition of basic vectors yields new vectors (with the same number of coordinates / dimensions as the field). Since the vectors describe functions, the following figure is given: These complex functions can be the mathematical result of service / service relationships and can be further composed to generate even more complex functions, as shown in FIG.
