3 today Past G3 activities (2015, 2016) VISION 2016, Stuttgart New employee to drive forward OPC UA companion spec for MV EVSG Report, FSF Meeting, Chicago fall 2015» OPC UA is one of three new SCs Elaboration Set up an EVSG, FSF Meeting, London spring 2015 Meetings and discussions» VDMA MV Board and membership» VDMA Robotics + Automation» VDMA Forum Industry 4.0 MoU OPC Foundation and VDMA MV, AUTOMATICA

5 Conclusions of EVSG report Three Work Groups Standard Candidates» SC1: Interface Sensor Board to Processing Unit/SoCs.» SC2: Software API.» SC3: Interface MV to Process Environment. Industry 4.0 communication Todays lags» Poor communication between MV and factory automation.» No standard on shop floor side.» Time-consuming and extensive system integration. System integrators are concerned! SC1 SC2 SC3 Recommendation OPC UA by EVSG

7 Chance Industry 4.0 Characteristics of Industry 4.0» Use network technology in production.» Increase production process flexibility.» Increase production efficiency.» Variable, individual products.» Smart devices.» Vanish hierarchical to meshed communication. Implications» Industry 4.0 means reorganization and standardization.» OPC UA is also the recommended Industry 4.0 communication technology by Platform Industry 4.0 group. Turn hierarchical COM pyramid to a network communication Chances by Industry 4.0» Simple link between MV and factory automation.» Generic software access over all levels of factory control

10 OPC UA technical brief OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture)» is for M2M communication.» based on a TCP/IP client server protocol.» is an information centric layered architecture supporting services.» is object orientated and offers semantic self descriptions.» has inherently build in network security.» is platform independent.» became IEC standard. OPC UA is not just a (transport) protocol, it s a communication technology!

11 OPC UA technical brief Vendor level» Specific extensions. Branch level» Companion specifications describes WHAT are the information to communicate. OPC Foundation level» OPC UA describes HOW the communication works. Workout an information model by a working group» e.g. EUROMAP 77 for injection molding machines hosted by VDMA Plastics and Rubber Machinery

13 today Outlook for MV companion specification FSF Meeting, Boston spring 2017 Proposal for new G3 standardization project OPC UA for MV Define scope and content Workout specification Past activities» G3 Embedded Vision Study Group: OPC UA companion specification as possible G3 standardization candidate» Discussion within VDMA» MoU between OPC Foundation an VDMA machine vision.» New employee to drive OPC UA for MV forward VISION 2016, Stuttgart Next G3 Board meeting» Vote

14 Outlook for MV companion specification Define scope and content????? One of our next steps is to define the scope!» MV to MV?» MV to MES?» MV to PLC?» Camera to MV?»

15 Outlook for MV companion specification Workout specification Workflow and tools in the development of EUROMAP 77 companion specification» Develop a tree structure by e.g. Excel.» Make a rough information model by e.g. PowerPoint.» Detailed depiction by e.g. ArgoUML.» Parse information model into a XML schema by e.g. UaModeler.» Write down companion specification sheet by e.g. Word.» Publish release candidate and test it. Characteristics of elaboration» Duration 2,5 years.» 14 events (telephone conference + meetings).» OPC Foundation supported working group.» participants joined working group.» Publish the release version

17 Conclusions OPC UA is a hot topic for system integrators.» Simple link between MV and factory automation.» Generic software access over all levels of factory control. Discussion and work has just begun.» Which information, data, functions and services should be integrated into shop floor? Willing to join in? Than please, contact me
