The Maritime use case involves an industrial system that permits to build ship’s hulls. It contains two arms Robotics. They are used to machine the structural profiles of decks and bulkheads so that these profiles can be crossed on the sheet metal. The machining is carried out by means of a milling cutter carried by a robotic arm. The assembly is controlled from the entrance of the conveyor by an operator who applies the machining to be carried out on the selected profiles.
The piloting software is regularly updated by the supplier. But this cannot be done remotely because the industrial network of Naval-Group is connected only when the factory needs a maintenance due to data protection and cyber risks.
If a dialogue architecture between the machine's operating data and the supplier's remote monitoring software could be proposed, this would be a real progress in the monitoring and maintenance of this machine. This would make it possible to reduce the yearly maintenance cost and production loss, and increase the machine availability rate.
