本文从当今工业全景中的关键行业模具行业的角度阐述了工业4.0的概念。随着其不断现代化，引进了几项技术，特别是关于加工设备。由于每个品牌和型号都需要不同的（专有）接口和通信协议，这种技术多样性使得与生产管理软件的自动互连极具挑战性。本文根据模具行业公司使用的主要设备和操作，定义了一种建立加工设备监控解决方案的方法。作为一种标准化的方法，OPC UA用于各种系统之间的高级通信。作为本文的一个关键结果，并给出了各种监控系统和通信协议，开发的方法结合了各种不同的机器接口在一个单一的系统，以涵盖目前在模具行业使用的加工设备的相关子集。这种一体化的方法将使生产经理能够获得持续监控和改进整个生产过程所需的信息。
This paper addresses the concept of Industry 4.0 from the perspective of the molds industry, a key industry in today’s industrial panorama. With its constant modernization, several technologies have been introduced, in particular regarding machining equipment. With each brand and model requiring different (proprietary) interfaces and communication protocols, this technological diversity renders the automatic interconnection with production management software extremely challenging. In this paper a methodology to build monitoring solutions for machining devices is defined, based on the main equipment and operations used by molds industry companies. For a standardized approach, OPC UA is used for high-level communication between the various systems. As a key result of this paper, and given the variety of monitoring systems and communication protocols, the developed approach combines various different machine interfaces on a single system, in order to cover a relevant subset of machining equipment currently in use by the molds industry. This kind of all-in-one approach will give production managers access to the information needed for a continuous monitoring and improvement of the entire production process.
