Many promising solutions utilize semantic technologies. However, the deployment and maintenance of semantic technologies especially in reconfigurable manufacturing environments require a lot of manual effort. Concepts to embed them in an automated environment, as required by Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems, are limited. In this paper, we present an approach to reuse systems engineering data to guide an automated process that updates a production data knowledge base. Thereby, an ontology that integrates distributed operational data to compute Key Performance Indicators such as the Overall Equipment Effectiveness index can be updated during the manufacturing reconfiguration process. This reduces the effort to handle the required changes of semantic data integration systems and enables a cost-effective adaption of the Business Intelligence for Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems.}, doi = {10.1109/ETFA.2019.8869083}, keywords = {Semantics;Modeling;Knowledge based systems;Ontologies;Manufacturing systems;reconfigurable manufacturing systems;semantic data integration;KPI;OEE;systems engineering}, } @inproceedings{vathoopan2018etfa, author = {Vathoopan, Milan and Walzel, Hendrik and Eisenmenger, Waldemar and Zoitl, Alois and Brandenbourger, Benjamin}, title = {AutomationML Mechatronic Models as Enabler of Automation Systems Engineering: Use-case and Evaluation}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA)}, publisher = {IEEE}, pages = {51 - 58}, year = {2018}, month = oct, location = {Turin, Italy}, issn = {1946-0759}, doi = {10.1109/ETFA.2018.8502623}, } @article{vathoopan2018modular, author = {Vathoopan, Milan and Johny, Maria and Zoitl, Alois and Knoll, Alois}, title = {Modular Fault Ascription and Corrective Maintenance Using a Digital Twin}, publisher = {Elsevier}, journal = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, volume = {51}, number = {11}, pages = {1041--1046}, year = {2018}, } @inproceedings{brandenbourger2017modeling, author = {Brandenbourger, Benjamin and Vathoopan, Milan and Zoitl, Alois}, title = {Modeling and verifying behavioral constraints for automation systems}, booktitle = {Industrial Informatics (INDIN), 2017 IEEE 15th International Conference on}, pages = {345--350}, year = {2017}, organization = {IEEE}, } @inproceedings{vathoopan2017towards, author = {Vathoopan, Milan and Brandenbourger, Benjamin and George, Amil and Zoitl, Alois}, editor = {Petriu, Dorina C. and Rouquette, Nicolas and Haugen, Oystein}, title = {Towards an integrated plant engineering process using a data conversion tool for AutomationML}, booktitle = {Industrial Technology (ICIT), 2017 IEEE International Conference on}, pages = {1205--1210}, year = {2017}, organization = {IEEE}, } @inproceedings{vathoopan2016HIL, author = {Vathoopan, Milan and Brandenbourger, Benjamin and Zoitl, Alois}, title = {A human in the loop corrective maintenance methodology using cross domain engineering data of mechatronic systems}, booktitle = {Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on}, pages = {1--4}, year = {2016}, organization = {IEEE}, } @inproceedings{brandenbourger2016behavior, author = {Brandenbourger, Benjamin and Vathoopan, Milan and Zoitl, Alois}, title = {Behavior modeling of automation components using cross-domain interdependencies}, booktitle = {Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on}, pages = {1--4}, year = {2016}, organization = {IEEE}, } @inproceedings{brandenbourger2016engineering, author = {Brandenbourger, Benjamin and Vathoopan, Milan and Zoitl, Alois}, editor = {Chen, Xiaoping and Stone, Peter and Sucar, LuisEnrique and van der Zant, Tijn}, title = {Engineering of Automation Systems using a Metamodel implemented in AutomationML}, booktitle = {Industrial Informatics (INDIN), 2016 IEEE 14th International Conference on}, pages = {363--370}, year = {2016}, organization = {IEEE}, } @inproceedings{keddis2016handling, author = {Keddis, Nadine and Kainz, Gerd and Brandenbourger, Benjamin and Vathoopan, Milan and Zoitl, Alois}, editor = {Whittle, Jon and Clark, Tony and K{\"{u}}hne, Thomas}, title = {Handling errors in dynamic production environments}, booktitle = {Industrial Informatics (INDIN), 2016 IEEE 14th International Conference on}, pages = {148--153}, year = {2016}, organization = {IEEE}, } @incollection{wenger2016hierarchically, author = {Wenger, Monika and Vathoopan, Milan and Zoitl, Alois and Pr{\"{a}}hofer, Herbert}, editor = {France, Robert and Kazmeier, J{\"{u}}rgen and Breu, Ruth and Atkinson, Colin}, title = {Hierarchically Structured Control Application for Pick and Place Station}, booktitle = {Distributed Control Applications}, publisher = {CRC Press}, pages = {423--440}, year = {2016}, } @inbook{, author = {Wenger, Monika and Vathoopan, Milan and Pr{\"{a}}hofer, Herbert and Zoitl, Alois}, editor = {Zoitl, Alois and Strasser, Thomas}, title = {Hierarchically Structured Control Application for Pick and Place Station}, booktitle = {Distributed Control Applications}, publisher = {CRC Press}, series = {Industrial Information Technology}, year = {2015}, month = dec, isbn = {9781482259056}, }
