Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems; Evaluation of Configuration KPI by Simulation and Simulation Model Generation

Abstract

One key issue of Industry 4.0 is to design manufacturing systems that fit changing context (new express demands or resources failures). Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) are of good interest as they offer the ability to change their organization. This adaption leads to go beyond the simple control and to go towards a control/command that includes monitoring, supervision and several control versions. This new enlarge vision, the amount of possibilities (degree of freedom) deeply increase their complexity. The challenge both remains in their design from material and logical parts point of view, and in their on-line piloting including decision to choose relevant configurations. Underlining how simulation can be of good interest for a large panel of problems, the talk addresses different simulation uses for RMS design and exploitation. It presents and discusses simulations results about 20 years industrial collaborations that investigate control/command validation, simulation models generation & consistency improvement, simulation based observer, and configuration elaboration.

SeCoIIA:Securing Collaborative Intelligent Industrial Assets

Abstract

SeCoIIA aims at securing digital transition of manufacturing industry towards more connected, collaborative, flexible and automated production techniques. It fosters user-driven application cases from aeronautics, automotive and naval construction sectors. Collaboration is considered from Organization to Organization (O2O), but also from Machine to Machine (M2M), Machine to Human (M2H) and Human to Human (H2H) perspectives. Enhanced process monitoring, optimization and control is achieved by intelligent use digital twin technology, Industrial IoT, Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg), collaborative robotics and Industrial AI. The collaborative approach triggers a virtuous cycle of growth and innovation, irrigating the full value chain, from very large to very small actors. Now reaching this step requires due diligence to security implications. The transition from hierarchized supply chains to collaborative networks of smart factories opens an attack surface so far never reached. Manufacturing operators are untrained to the manipulation of vulnerable cyber-physical assets. The deployment of smart sensors over distributed shop floors requires time sensitive communication security measures. Enhanced collaboration on manufacturing activities may not safely apply without collaborative security monitoring and incident response. Last but not least, the increased reliance on machine-learning based decision making sets a technical challenge in terms of security assurance and a legal challenge in terms of accountability and law enforcement. These are the challenges that SeCoIIA intends to address through the development of 12 key capabilities which will be assessed in various configurations through 3 ambitious demonstration campaigns lead by pilot users. A particular focus will be made on simulation-based testing, training and decision support will be made for the purpose of this conference. In particular, we will demonstrate how simulation of Operational Technology (OT) and modelling of human-machine interactions can be leveraged to enforce resilience of Factories of the Future.
