 The automation challenge

Annual growths more than 10% and over 500 billion connected devices
are expected worldwide by 2025. - Cisco 2013


Massive automation systems not possible with current technologies


Not enough many engineers on the globe to do the job with current
technology

 Benefits to the production industry - Spire

• Be>er op@miza@on and coordina@on of single processes or process chains and of

complete plants and sites,
• Significantly improved resource efficiency.
• Be>er coordinated control loops in one process step and improved collabora@on of
control systems of different processes along a process chain give higher process yields
which results in be>er material efficiency, waste reduc@on, less energy use and
reduc@on of pollu@on.
• Improved product quality through be>er process control and smart quality control
• Higher u@liza@on of equipment
• New collabora@ve solu@ons with integrated informa@on management offer new
possibili@es for supply chain management including price-based coordina@on or
op@mised market mechanisms
• Safer opera@on of plants due to improved control and shut-down procedures.
• Possibili@es to integrate mul@ple processes.
• Shorter delivery @mes and lower produc@on cost.

Collaborative automation in the cloud

Automation is local - requirements on:
Real time
Security and safety
Continuous engineering
Scalability


Local clouds are beneficial to:
Latency - real time
Security - supporting safety
Less engineering dependencies

Inter cloud service exchange enables scalability

Centralised controllers, DCS, SCADA, PLC,
Pull based - time slotted streaming of all data
Hard real time
Design time bindings

Seams to have an upper bound of X*105 I/O’s

Cloud based automation systems

Choice of centralised or distributed control and data to information
computations
Push on event or pull
Late binding - runtime binding

Gatekeeper service - inter cloud discovery, orchestration and security
Event handler system
Historian system - data logging and inter cloud data path support
Meta service registry system -
User registry system
Quality of Service system
Translation service - protocol and semantics
 What about service protocol interoperability 15

Is it possible to make machine assisted translation like

CoAP -> XMPP
CoAP -> MQTT
CoAP -> OPC-UA
OPC-UA -> CoAP
OPC-UA -> MQTT
Necessary semantics translation
Necessary data structure translations
Service integrity over protocols, data structures, semantics etc.

Automation engineering time

Automation is a service based on products

Simplicity of automation service engineering is market key

Arrowhead Framework reduces engineering time

From 5-6 days -> 6-8 hours (Abelko)
From 4-5 weeks -> 1 week (BnearIT)
