Fault-Tolerant Control and Management of Production Systems

Objetivo

The objective of this project is to develop a system technology for the efficient integration of monitoring and diagnostics with the control of discrete parts manufacturing plant at the machine and cell level. This has the aim of providing the plant with a degree of fault tolerance through improved control during abnormal or fault conditions.
The objective of this project is to develop a system technology for the efficient integration of monitoring and diagnostics with the control of discrete parts manufacturing plant at the machine and cell level. This has the aim of providing the plant with a degree of fault tolerance through improved control during abnormal or fault conditions. The flexible machining cell test bed will be further developed as a research and educational tool, particularly for the industrial users and system vendors who will play a key role in the specification of generic requirements.
The principal tasks to be addressed are: enabling technologies where a toolkit of hardware and software modules will be developed for use alongside existing modules to provide the monitoring, diagnostic and action planning functions of a fault tolerant system; application tools and methods where support tools will be provided covering feasibility studies, investment justification, system installation, operation and enhancement, etc; integration methods will be defined which will be compatible with users' current and future manufacturing control systems; and industrial application demonstrators where it is planned to implement at least 3 demonstrator sites within plants operated by the industrial partners, incorporating the tools and methods appropriate to the demonstration of fault tolerant control concepts in each environment. It is hoped that at least one site will extend the system implementation to include end of line testing using the same generic hardware, software and reporting strategies as will be used for the production machinery.
Although the project is focused on metal working in the automotive industry, the tools and methods developed will be widely applicable to a range of processes in many other manufacturing industries. The design of 3 industrial demonstrators of fault tolerant control has been completed. All the systems are based on a common set of modules which are now being installed on machining cells in factories. These demonstrators will provide the opportunity for a full evaluation of the technology by the host sites, and by European industrialists who will be invited to visit the sites.
Taking as its example the European automotive industry, the project will extend the concepts and techniques already defined by ESPRIT project 504. The flexible machining cell test bed established by that project will be further developed as a research and educational tool, particularly for the industrial users and system vendors who will play a key role in the specification of generic requirements.

The principal tasks to be addressed are:

- Enabling Technologies
A toolkit of hardware and software modules will be developed for use alongside existing modules to provide the monitoring, diagnostic and action planning functions of a fault-tolerant system.

- Application Tools and Methods
Support tools will be provided covering feasibility studies, investment justification, system installation, operation and enhancement, etc.

- Integration Methods
Integration methods will be defined which will be compatible with users' current and future manufacturing control systems.

- Industrial Application Demonstrators
It is planned to implement at least three demonstrator sites within plants operated by the industrial partners, incorporating the tools and methods appropriate to the demonstration of fault-tolerant control concepts in each environment. It is hoped that at least one site will extend the system implementation to include end-of-line testing using the same generic hardware, software and reporting strategies as will be used for the production machinery.
