DT-CP: Digital Twin – for planning and control
The Digital Twin for control and planning (DT-CP) allows the users to create a virtual replica of the production line facilitated by the use case. The component is divided into two parts: A simulator, to experiment with alternative models to be implemented in the real line, and a monitoring dashboard for having an overview of the line.
The time-based simulator takes as input several configuration parameters (e.g., takt time, shift time), process descriptions and resources (e.g., workers) with different skill set. Hence the user can modify and test different production strategies that would be more complicated and time consuming to test in the real line. The monitoring dashboard can provide the user with an overview on the status of production and provide notification mechanism for alerts when implemented. It should be noted that some functionalities (e.g., data sources for monitoring dashboard, data modelling, and configuration parameters for simulator) are dependent on the use case and might require further adaptations for proper integration in the setup.

ASA: Automated Safety Approval
This component is used to determine whether the chosen robot trajectory & speed is safe and the required separation distance has been chosen adequately and can be covered by the sensor configuration. (This uses a calculation of the size of the required separation distances for robots that use the operating mode speed and separation monitoring.)
Main non-functional requirements
Trajectories should be checked as early as possible to minimize the delay of execution. Ideally, precomputed trajectories are validated in advance.
Software requirements/dependencies

User interface
No user interface available.
The REST API is documented using Swagger.
Supported devices
PC, Docker
User defined scenarios (non-technical) and relevant pilot cases
When operating a robot cell that uses speed and separation monitoring for safety purposes, you have to check if a given trajecory is safe. If the trajectories are fixed or worst case trajectories can be defined, the operator can check them during design phase (e.g. using the IFF Safety Planning Tool). If trajectories can change (e.g. when using dynamic motion planing), the ASA component allows you to check if a trajectory is safe and the separation distance can be monitored by the sensor configuration. If a trajectory is not safe, the user can calculate a different one or reduce the robot’s speed until all safety conditions are met.
The ASA component ist utilized in the Siemens Use Case 1, where collision-free trajectories are calculated at run-time.
RA: Review of Risk Analysis
The review of the risk analysis supports a safety expert in identifying hazards and estimating risk. The responsible human designer is guided through the formalized process of identifying new hazards based on identified or manually captured system changes (e.g. part changes including geometry and payload; robot changes including speed, reach, tooling; environmental changes including new tables, fencing, etc.). Application highlights where the existing risk estimation requires updates.
Main non-functional requirements
Bidirectional network access from RA server to FIWARE server (if not used as standalone tool)
Port forwarding, firewall configuration
Secret injection via files or environment variables
Software requirements/dependencies

Security threats
Production application must use HTTPS reverse proxy. Secrets must be generated and injected securely. Network access should ideally be limited. Additional requirements apply depending on threat model. E.g. when using FIWARE integration and local user management with enabled self-registration, the server must be located inside secure network (on the same permissions level as FIWARE server) due to granted lateral access to FIWARE server (alternatively use authentication via identity server for managing trust).
Privacy threats
Process critical data could be part of the data sent between client and server and this could put partners’ data at risk.
Execution place
Gateway, private cloud (meaning in pilot premises), cloud, etc.
Unrestricted
Deployment instructions

FLINT
The aim of the FLINT platform is to facilitate the incorporation of current/future wireless IoT devices (sensors/actuators) in a factory or shopfloor setting, as well as the required local wireless IoT communication infrastructure to connect such devices (e.g. LoRa gateways, BLE gateways). This component requires horizontal integration. At the left side, it will make use of adapters to interact with wireless IoT devices and long-range wireless communication equipment. At the right, after performing the required data transformations, it will either represent the IoT device as a LwM2M compliant device that can interface in a standardized way with a LwM2M back-end platform (for instance the open source Leshan platform) or deliver the data in a suitable format to a broker (e.g. FIWARE context broker).
Main non-functional requirements
N/A
Software requirements/dependencies
– Dependency on data formats used by IoT devices / used wireless IoT infrastructure, which requires the 1-time design of suitable input/processing adapters. Similar dependency for output adapters in case no processing to LwM2M.
– Docker: adapters realized as Docker containers. Implementation of adapters can be done in any language.
– MQTT broker: for the information exchange between adapters
– LwM2M processing adapters: dependency on Anjay, a C client implementation of LwM2M
Hardware requirements
Server/cloud platform supporting deployment/management of Docker containers.
Security threats
Currently, the internal communication between the adapters and MQTT broker is not secured. However most deployments are done on a secure company network, so the security risk should be limited.
Privacy threats
Privacy threats will depend on the type of data that is collected by IoT devices)
Execution place
Private Cloud
Deployment instructions
Deployment instructions can be found on https://github.com/imec-idlab/flint. Customization will be needed depending on the IoT devices/infrastructure to be used/deployed.

– Interface for the Operator (customised by the editor): the AR guidance to be visualised with a mobile devices/HoloLens through different steps and different objects (2D/3D objects, images, video, documents, animations, etc.).
Supported devices
Laptop + mobile devices/HoloLens
User defined scenarios (non-technical) and relevant pilot cases
AR guidance to operator during the assembly of the base plate in collaboration with a robot in the Siemens Use case.
– The shop floor manager/developers add a new manual to the system using the editor, adding all the multimedia assets (3D files, pdf, videos, photos, etc.) and defining, step by step, the entire manual.
– The shop floor manager, once the manual has been added, defines through the editor what type of trigger will activate the augmented reality display. In this case, through the Context Broker we will see in a task for HoloLens is raised to show the different steps of the manual.
– Then he publishes from the editor that manual, so that it can be consumed by HoloLens, defining the type of users and roles that will have permission to do so.
– From that moment any worker of the plant with permissions working on the assembly of a base plate will be able to trigger with his device the visualization in augmented reality of that manual based on the status of the collaboration with the robot supporting him/her.

User defined scenarios (non-technical) and relevant pilot cases
UC2 in Arcelik for equipment maintenance.
A worker that needs support with any type of physical component or machine, call to an expert colleague in the field. In order to do that, the worker opens the application installed in his smartphone and calls the previously connected expert. The application connects with the expert sharing the back camera of the worker and the frontal camera of the expert. The worker scans the component area or the machine area, and the expert draws through the mobile screen creating indications, as a drawing mode to the worker, giving an augmented reality support. When the support is finished, both exit the application.

User interface
Three different types of users:
Process modelers
They use the Modeler application to model manufacturing processes (with BPMN 2.0)
Application developers
They turn the process models designed by the process modelers into executable process models (i.e., the ones that the Process Engine can interpret and enact).
Also, they can build custom applications (e.g. tasklists, cockpits, smartwatch apps)
(Human) Managers and operators (end-users)
Managers use the Cockpit/Dashboard and Admin applications (default or custom) to see the processes state and manage the users of MPMS
Operators use the Tasklist applications (default or custom) to receive tasks and provide input (e.g. task completion confirmation)
For each type of user, there are manuals and webinars to provide instructions.
Supported devices
Modeler runs on PC/Laptop (see SW/HW requirements above)
Process Engine runs on PC/Laptop (see SW/HW requirements above)
Web applications run on PC/Laptop/tablet/smartphones (additionally, a prototype tasklist application has been built for smartwatch)
