ABB and Prevas have initiated a collaboration to sell a system to optimize steel industry furnaces, called FOCS. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate possibilities for integrating Prevas FOCS and ABB 800xA. The result of the investigation is used for an implementation of a prototype of the integrated system. The study shows a general method that can be used when implementing two software systems. The prototype of the integrated systems is made with usability principles in mind. This is a very important aspect in order to create a good working environment for the operators of a steel plant. It is also important to follow communication standards when integrating software systems. In an industrial network used in the steel industry OPC is a standard for communication. We recommend ABB and Prevas to follow this standard when possible to make the integration smoother. To keep the cost of the integration to a minimum it is also recommended to reuse existing resources. This can however have a negative effect on usability and it is therefore important to keep a balance between cost and usability. The prototype made in this thesis accomplishes the goal of transferring the functionalities used by operators of Prevas FOCS to 800xA so that operators can control the processes using only one integrated system.

The project is about a GS1-verified input system Prevas GCM, which is a web service for suppliers to send article information to receivers. With the current system the suppliers need to select each receiver individually when sending information. The purpose with the project is to develop a system that let suppliers create receivers groups from receivers. The preparatory work consist of create prototypes in Adobe XD. Thereafter the web application produced in two steps. The project has mostly used the programming language JavaScript together with AG-Grid. In addition html and css have been used. The result was a almost launch-ready product with minor fixes left. / Projektet har handlat om GS1-verifierat inmatningssystemet Prevas GCM, som är en webbtjänst som låter leverantörer skicka ut artikelinformation till mottagare. Den nuvarande lösningen innebär att leverantörerna måste välja alla mottagare enskilt. Syftet med projektet blev att utveckla en webbapplikation som låter leverantörer skapa mottagargrupper av mottagare. Förarbetet bestod av att skapa prototyper i Adobe XD. Därefter har webbapplikation tagits fram i två steg. Projektet har huvudsakligen använt programmeringsspråket JavaScript ihop med AG-Grid. Utöver det har HTML och CSS används. Resultatet blev nästan en lanserings-klar produkt med mindre fix kvar.

Inom tillverkningsindustri används styrsystem för att övervaka och styra produktionen. Företaget Outokumpu har en produktionsanläggning i Degerfors för valsat rostfritt stål, kallat Det varma flödet. Det nuvarande systemet övervakar och styrs av en applikation som enbart fungerar i Windows-miljö. För att få en flexiblare övervakning av produktionslinjen och kunna använda andra enheter såsom surfplattor, eller nå informationen över internet, har vi fått i uppdrag att utveckla en webb-baserad prototypapplikation. Denna applikation kan simulera produktionen i realtid för olika scenarion. Användaren blir informerad om vart materialen befinner sig i produktionslinjen, statistik över produktionen, stillestånd och fyllnadsgrad i ugnar. Denna realtidsbaserade webbapplikation har utvecklats med ramverken ASP.NET Core och JavaScriptspråket TypeScript tillsammans med ramverket Aurelia. Vid vidareutveckling av prototypen kan all funktionalitet från den nuvarande applikationen implementeras i prototypen, exempelvis så att operatörer kan kontrollera produktionsverksamheten och inte endast övervaka. / Manufacturing systems uses control systems to monitor and control the production. The company Outokumpu has a production in Degerfors for rolling stainless steel, called The Heated Stream. The current system is monitored and controlled by an application that only works in Windows environment. By having the system more flexible and making the monitoring of the production available on other devices such as tablets or to get the information on the internet. Our project is a prototype of a real-time web application which will simulate the production with different scenarios. The user of this application will be informed with position of the material currently in production, statistics about the production, a machince downtime and the fill ratio of the ovens. The real-time application has been developed using the framework ASP.NET Core and the JavaScript language TypeScript working with the framework Aurelia. For future development of the prototype, all features from the current system could be implemented such as to control the production line from the web application and not just to monitor the system.
