Keynote Speech

The keynote speech on “Predictive Maintenance Platforms and Microservices for Manufacturing Operations” is delivered by Dr. Sotiris Makris and Dr. Kosmas Alexopoulos from the Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation (LMS), University of Patras, Greece, which is partner of the SERENA project.
The introduction of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms in manufacturing is a key aspect in the context of Industry4.0 as it enables smart manufacturing implementations based on smart data from the factory floor.  At the same time, Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is gaining significant attention as an important Industry4.0 enabler that contributes to the Overall Equipment Efficiency and profitability.
In this presentation, Dr. Makris and Dr. Alexopoulos discuss the main characteristics of software architecture and the key components that state-of-the-art industrial platforms have for supporting PdM operations in the manufacturing industry.  Platform hierarchical layers, micro-services, data communication and processing solutions are discussed, among others.

Use Cases

Whirlpool White Goods

The Whirlpool use case is presented by Pierluigi Petrali, Manufacturing R&D manager at the Whirlpool Corporation, global manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances.
Whirlpool is end-user partner in both SERENA and UPTIME projects providing two use cases, one based at a Refrigeration factory in Italy and the second at a Clothes Drier factory in Poland.
Whirlpool presentation focuses mostly on SERENA project, showing the typical phases of a Predictive Maintenance project and highlighting the architectural aspect of the technical solution, demonstrating how a combination of open source component deployable on Edge or on Cloud can satisfy the need of a Predictive Maintenance. Pierluigi presents also the UPTIME project, whose architecture has been developed according to a more modularity oriented philosophy.

Danobat/Spinea Machine Tool

Danobat/Spinea use case is presented by Anne Sanz Arrizabalaga from IK4-IDEKO an industry-driven Spanish Technological Centre.
IDEKO is a partner of the PreCoM project aiming at bringing predictive cognitive maintenance solutions to the manufacturing industry increasing machinery in-service efficiency.
Anne Sanz focuses on one of the three use cases defined in PreCoM, covering discrete high volume manufacturing with SPINEA as an end-user and DANOBAT-OVERBECK as a machine tool manufacturer. Her presentation explains the challenges of implementing a Predictive Cognitive Decision Support system in SPINEA and describes briefly every step of the implementation process: (1) sensorizing and connecting the machine, (2) deploying the hardware/software modules in order to provide a valid recommendation to the end through an innovative user interface.
