Automatized setup of process monitoring in cyber-physical systems

This paper presents a method to reduce manual planning effort for introducing and initializing process monitoring on existing assembly lines. The focus is set onto the reduction of manual initialization processes by automatically identifying devices and their process abilities, as well as relevant process data. Individual assembly processes often change due to new product variants, and therefore the entire planning of a process monitoring has to be manually adapted. Combining existing expert knowledge of assembly processes and requirements with modern communication interfaces and intelligent data processing, automated installation effort for monitoring processes promises high potential.
