D3.1 Process Modelling Representation and Monitoring Framework

This deliverable is a report of the result of T3.1 - Process Modelling and Monitoring Framework. This task involves two main activities: manufacture process modelling with Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and the development of a BPMN Monitoring Framework for real-time process monitoring. To help readers understand the topic better, the document first introduces related background knowledge, such as the concept of BPMN, the advantages of BPMN, software tools related to BPMN, etc. Following the background introduction, the applicable use cases and the working principle of the BPMN Monitoring Framework is explained. A concrete example from COMPOSITION is used for demonstration.
The relationship between the BPMN Monitoring Framework and the COMPOSITION system is then described. The connection between the monitoring framework and the Digital Factory Model (DFM) as well as the Decision Support System (DSS) is explained. This helps the readers to gain more knowledge about the integration of the monitoring framework in the COMPOSITION system. After that, the modelling of a manufacture process is presented. The model is based on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) production line from Boston Scientific Limited (BSL). Details regarding the process and the modelling principles are also introduced. Finally, the implementation of the BPMN Monitoring Framework is presented in detail. It includes the requirements for the development, tools and technologies used, the implementation details as well as exposed interface.
