1. Presented by: Dr. Mikael Lindvall, Fraunhofer CESE, USA
Prepared by: Dr. Thomas Kuhn & Mr. Frank Schnicke, Fraunhofer IESE, Germany

2. Support for BaSys 4.0
German Government funded (12M EURO), national project
15 Partners from academia and industry
Fraunhofer is coordinator

3. Industry 4.0 – The fourth industrial revolution
Revolutions in manufacturing
Mechanical support
Conveyor belt
Automation
Fourth industrial revolution
Connectivity
Service-oriented thinking
Data & Machine Learning

4. How Industry 4.0 Can Improve Decision Making
Can I take another order?
Which machines are idle, which are running at high workload?
Where are my bottlenecks?
Which machine is likely to break next?
Dashboards integrate data from machines in heterogeneous environments
Provide aggregated information in one spot
Line 1
Line 2
Productivity: 60%
Interval: 0.2s
Productivity: 100%
Load: 100%
Productivity: 20%
Load: 20%

5. Data is King Documentation of process steps in production
Torque for individual bolts and screws
Exact per product quality data, e.g. milling quality
Life-long tracking of products after sales
A Digital Twin enables, for example
Exact identification of products to be recalled
Improve products based on product usage
Per-product documentation
Predictive maintenance and defect models 
Recall Red Car

6. Adapting to Market Changes
Lot size 1
Markets and market demands change
Shorter product lifetimes
Ability to adapt quickly to market changes
Competitive advantage
Requires new manufacturing system architectures
Enables new business models

7. BaSys 4.0 – Industry 4.0 Middleware

12. BaSys 4.0 – Service Based Production
Today
PLCs control individual production steps
The production process is hard coded, distributed across PLCs
No explicit process model, changes often cause unwanted side-effects
This architecture limits changeability of production processes

13. BaSys 4.0 – Service Based Production
PLCs offer real-time services
But do not implement complete process steps
Service orchestration is performed by a different component

18. Summary – Basys 4.0
Vision about future manufacturing system architectures
By the German I4.0 thought- and industry leaders
Open source software platform for I4.0
Addresses many issues
Plug and play compatibility
Allows us to establish
Digital twins
Production as a service
Allows flexible manufacturing, etc.
Looking forward to talk to people who are interested in I4.0
