The results of this research provide an overview of the problems being faced regarding quality control during the manufacturing processes of technical textile in the automotive industry.
The central result is an overall process overview and a microservice architecture, with the help of which an industrial image processing system can be put into operation on the software side only by configuring the camera and entering the environment variables.
To select suitable hardware components, a five-stage decision logic is developed and implemented as a software application, which suggests suitable components to the user depending on the specified use case and prioritizes them according to list price.
Currently, the market is quite opaque, which makes it difficult to compare providers on the market and thus to compete. This thesis is written in cooperation with the Aachen-based startup developing the IIoT platform “United Manufacturing Hub”.
Because of high costs and effort PdM is only economically viable on machines and components with high revenue losses due to breakdown and where the failure is almost independent of uptime
Agile is a project management framework originated from the software industry. Nevertheless, values and principles that define the methodology are highly relevant and applicable within the IIoT context.
Software programs that can be found in a lot of IIoT implementations
OPC UA or Open Platform Communications United Architecture is an extensive server-client communication protocol, which is primarily used in OT
HTTP is the state-of-the-art web communications protocol and TLS is an added security layer which adds encryption
Apache Kafka is an open-source stream-processing platform, which allows for processing of large amounts of data feeds
MQTT is the de-facto standard for communication in the IoT
