Manufacturing Use Case (A Need Description)

Based On MESA White Paper “Leveraging Cloud Services for Smart Manufacturing Systems”:Need effective ways to create information threads for complete business processes across departments that do not depend on manual translation of information. This includes any use case that involves manufacturing operations that require deeper visibility into the supply chain for availability or compliance and tracking & multi component, multi location ‐ ‐assembly processes.

Business Challenge • We currently run many interdepartmental business process via paper, email, and with many manual interpretations and translations of data inputs to outputs along the way. These manual interdepartmental business processes are error prone and cannot scale to handle higher volume of transactions

Business Benefit of addressing challenge; estimated quantification of benefit

• New functionality and integration options enabled by cloud-enabled platforms, exchanges and marketplaces.

• The availability of quality cloud component services that are easy to assemble into a custom application will change the future of the Information Technology (IT) department.

Open Cloud Opportunity

• Leverage cloud computing-enabled component-as-a-service (CaaS) model.• CaaS that are easy to assemble into a custom application• Enterprise departments assembling CaaS in IT-provided UI, workflow, computation, integration

frameworks.• IT departments providing guidelines and frameworks for assembling applications from CaaS,

SaaS, ...• Interoperable app-based, customized, (reconfigurable) mfg systems

Technical Issues & Initiatives

Solutions enabling layered, distributed architecture:• enterprise-level bpm & work-flow orchestration• integration mechanism to exchange information across layers from equipment to plant to

supply chain• multiple data layers with different persistency requirements• role-specific, enterprise specific customizations of apps including mfg. supervision, control,

operation, quality inspectionStandards Role • Identify the places along the digital thread where we need standards for exchange of

information especially in the boundaries between traditional M2M, A2A and B2B and interdepartmental walls where we have relied on manual or custom translation schemes of proprietary integration interfaces--the intersection of standards for automation control, digital thread, production systems integration, and supply chain integration. Integration standards that include IEC/TC 65 for controls, IEC 62541 for OPC UA, ISO 10303-242:2014 for STEP PMI, ISA95 for operations management, and OAGi (Open Applications Group) standards for supply chain integration.
