Framework

The PPC4.0 project aims to investigate and develop tools to support the planning and control activity of industrial production integrated into a Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

 

 

New technologies and tools linked to Industry 4.0, capable of presenting
superior levels of autonomy and performance, making
more effective production planning and control processes. They must also work in an integrated manner with existing ERP and IoT systems.

Proposed solution

Creation of tools taking into account the potential of Industry 4.0 technological paradigms, namely through the application of data science approaches, such as applied optimization, machine learning or genetic algorithms, and the growing volumes of data coming from industry, most of which is collected by “Internet of Things” systems (IoT)​​​​

 

 

This solution aims to achieve the following specific objectives:

  • Creation of a PPC tool that allows you to automatically suggest optimized production plans
  • Development of an artificial intelligence and information visualization module that complements the automatic planning and production optimization module

CCG/ZGDV CONTRIBUTION

CCG/ZGDV contributes to this project, through the I&I department, EPMQ, in research and
development of artificial intelligence and data science modules that integrate the PPC4.0 solution. 

 

 

 

 

The solution requires the implementation of tools capable of integrating and processing high volumes of data from different sources to collect information. It also allows you to automate the choice and parameterization for automatic operation planning, integrated with existing ERP and IoT systems.
