A Framework for Semantic Integration and Analysis of Measurement Data in Modern Industrial Machinery

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The reliability of quality management in industrial processes mainly depends on information about the traceability, precision and accuracy of a measurement system as well as on its systematic bias. The progressive development of networking and sensing in industrial machinery facilitates a quality-related process monitoring regarding information of measurement systems and singular sensor nodes. Hereby, integration on the information level is mandatory. Furthermore, information from the shop floor and from enterprise applications is needed to provide a consistent and integrated quality analysis. Thereby, these systems use different standards and technologies for exportation and propagation of data. Besides, integrative quality management and data analysis require enriched data that does not only comprise, for example, the measured value and its standard-dependent unit on the sensor level; rather, additional information is needed (e.g. the production process or the time and place of measurement). In this paper, a framework is presented that facilitates the semantic integration and analysis of measurement and enterprise data according to real-time requirements. Semantic technologies are used to encode the meaning of the data from the application code. Herewith, the data is automatically annotated using terms and concepts taken from the application domain. Furthermore, a semantic integration and transformation process is facilitated. Thus, subsequent integration and, most importantly, analysis processes can take advantage of these terms and concepts using specialized analysis algorithms. Besides, the conceptual application of the presented framework and processes in a high-pressure-die-casting scenario is presented.
