A public report, led by BSL, documenting the Industrial use cases for an Integrated Information Management System
The COMPOSITION project has two main goals:
- To integrate data along the process chain inside a factory into one integrated information management system (IIMS), and
- To create a (semi-)automatic ecosystem, which extends the local IIMS concept to a holistic and collaborative system incorporating and inter-linking both the Supply and the Value Chains.
Pilot 'TO-BE' scenarios and Use Cases will be implemented to demonstrate and evaluate the COMPOSITION eco-system based on these two different approaches: Intra-Factory and Inter-Factory approach.
The Intra-Factory scenarios will demonstrate value added services that address fundamental challenges at the pilot sites by matching requirements to capabilities for internal and external processes and addressing emerging issues. The scenarios will aim at boosting collaborative manufacturing and Intra-Factory interoperability in marketplaces to the next level of knowledge management, agility, reliability, security, responsiveness, and cost-efficiency.
The Intra-Factory To-Be scenarios and their related use cases are:
Scenario INTRA-1: Non-Conformance Monitoring
- UC-BSL-1 NC Monitoring
Scenario INTRA-2: Predictive Maintenance
- UC-BSL-2 Predictive Maintenance
- UC-KLE-1 Maintenance decision support
Scenario INTRA-3: Material Management
- UC-BSL-3 Component Tracking
- US-KLE-2 Delayed Process Step
- UC-KLE-3: Scrap metal and recyclable waste transportation (from bins to container)
Scenario INTRA-4: Automatic Data Conversion
- UC-BSL-4 Automatic Solder Paste Touch Up.
The Inter-factory use cases and scenarios based on the supply chain approach focus on the lacks of long-term performance both for the companies and for the entire chain. This is due to the manual management of all procedures and the absence of any real-time data that could be of use for optimizing the management of the supply chain. Lack of automation mainly impedes the data collection and analysis. Furthermore, an issue that customers face when they are trying to look for a solution is that they might do not know exactly how to find one, how to get the details they need and how to handle the information available from solution providers. They do not have access to a broader base of evaluators of collaborations and results of certain providers. COMPOSITION will provide an automatic way to offer software and consultancy through the ecosystem.
The following To-Be scenarios and use cases for Inter-factory have been identified:
Scenario INTER-1: Scrap Metal Management
- UC-KLE-4 Scrap metal collection process
- UC-KLE-5 Scrap metal bidding process
- UC-KLE-6 Determining price for scrap metal with ELDIA acting as logistician.
Scenario INTER-2: Recyclable Material Management
- UC-ELDIA-1 Fill-level notification – Contractual recyclable material management
- UC-ELDIA-2 Fill-level notification – Contractual wood waste management
Scenario INTER-3: Supply Chain Management
- UC-KLE-7 Ordering raw materials
Scenario INTER-4: Software Distribution
- UC-ATL-1 Selling software/consultancy
- UC-ATL-2 Searching for solutions
- UC-ATL-3 Searching for recommended solutions
Scenario INTER-5: System connection over marketplace
- UC-ATL/NXW-1 Integrate external product into own solution – Exposing service output for external application
- UC-NXW-1 Decision support over marketplace.
Pilot sites/organisartions
Two pilots will focus on the Intra-Factory approach:
Boston Scientific Ltd, Ireland (BSL): Boston Scientific Limited (Clonmel) is the largest plant in the Boston Scientific group. It is the sole manufacturer of Pulse Generators (Pacemakers, Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (ICDs) in the network. Boston Scientific aims to leverage COMPOSITION tools and technologies to tackle real knowledge gaps within their business. These can enable disruption of its current method of manufacturing and enable it to continue to be the prime manufacturer of pacemakers and ICDs.
Kleemann Hellas, Greece (KLE): Kleemann operates both in the manufacturing and the trading of Complete Lift Systems field. The range of products includes domestic and commercial lift systems, including car parking and multi-storey building lift systems. Three departments from the Kleemann plant will be involved in the COMPOSITION pilot: the car slide (intra-factory application), the piston-cylinder and the power the unit department (inter-factory application).KLE is also part of the Supply Chain/Inter-Factory approach will be deployed jointly at the Kleemann plant in Kilkis and at ELDIA’s recycling facilities in Thessaloniki.
Four pilots will focus on the Inter-Factory approach:
Kleemann Hellas, Greece (described above)
ELDIA, Greece (ELDIA): ELDIA is the largest waste management company in Northern Greece.ELDIA’s activities cover the entire range of solid waste management of municipal, industrial, and commercial sectors. In particular, the collection, transportation, sorting, processing of waste and recovery of recyclable materials. The principle under which ELDIA operates and handles waste is in line with what COMPOSITION will apply at the latest stages of the ecosystem development.
ATLANTIS, Greece (ATL): ATLANTIS Engineering is an SME with various activities. ATLANTIS has long standing experience in the industrial manufacturing domain. The expertise of the company is mainly in the decision support for the management and optimisation of production activities and assets’ life-cycle, in the design, interconnection and implementation of models and protocols for the manufacturing sector, and in the streamlining of the various maintenance related processes (predictive, condition-based, and reactive). The Supply Chain/Inter-factory Pilot will be deployed by ATLANTIS for software upgrade and deployment.
Nextworks, Italy (NXW): Nextworks, located in Pisa (Italy), is a dynamic SME that was created in 2002. The current development of the Symphony platform focuses on service decomposition and distribution over a wide area, in a truly flexible IoT approach. Nextworks will play the role of technology and service provider in the value chain and in the supply chain of the Kleemann use case, specifically for factory premises and production line monitoring and management. Decisional processes inside the production line will also be supported, enhancing their functionality using professional analysis tools offered by the COMPOSITION marketplace. Nextworks will contribute to the design and development phases of the COMPOSITION project, providing the common technological platform in support of the value chain and supply chain pilot and use cases.
