Quantitative Comparison of SensibleThings and ThingsWorxYu, Yun January 2016 (has links)
Internet of things is a technology innovation which connects thousands of mil- lions of sensors and actuators. Platform is which provides both hardware and software service. There are so many platforms existed in the market. The objective of this study has been to answer the question which IoT platform fits bests for different scenarios by performing a quantitative comparison between SensibleThings and ThingWorx. The study has been conducted with the aid of my su- pervisor Stefan Forsström and professor TingTing Zhang. The study has shown that SensibleThings and ThingWorx both has its innovation features thus it fits to the different cases according to cases’ need. If the sensor need to update data quicker than 25 times/sec, it is better to choose ThingWorx. If the sensor doesn’t have good hardware it is better to use SensibleThings cause it is light- weight enough. For the case that more than one sensors’ data rush into one point simultaneously, ThingWorx has better performance. In this paper I use a health care system as an example. I think ThingWorx is more suitable for this case regard of its mature service on security and graphical visualization. Finally I presented my future work for platform evaluation.

Implementation of IIOT technology in welding robots for improving connectivity and enhancing productivityRavichandran, Divya, Thirunavukkarasu, Maneesh Srinivas January 2023 (has links)
In the prevailing industrial revolution, most industries are on the path towards the digitalization journey. To incorporate several digital technologies in the organization data reliability and accuracy act as key enablers. To achieve the set goals, the connectivity of the machines is considered a prominent endeavour. Such connectivity can be achieved by implementing IIOT technology, the connected IIOT architecture enables interoperability, where the computerized machine can seamlessly communicate and transfer information among them. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential impacts of integrating IIOT into the organizational framework and further explore the advantages gained in terms of productivity and maintenance. This intended study concentrated on the welding department in VCE and prioritized specific robots for the research. In addition, to improve the connectivity and visualize the data a customizable dashboard was created to facilitate real-time tracking of the robots and an alert system was developed to notify the problems in real-time. To carry out the study this research was intended to use a particular IIOT software Thingworx from the PTC community. The research was carried out with extensive interviews and personal observation on the shop floor following a qualitative analysis methodology. Through the interviews, the prioritized entities were focused and based on the end user’s requirement the selected data tags were visualized. Furthermore, the findings from the research were analyzed and discussed on how IIOT technology could potentially benefit an organization is presented. / I den rådande industriella revolutionen är de flesta industrier på väg mot digitaliseringsresan. Att införliva flera digitala teknologier i organisationen fungerar datatillförlitlighet och noggrannhet som viktiga möjliggörare. För att uppnå de uppsatta målen anses maskinernas anslutningsmöjligheter vara en framträdande strävan. Sådan anslutning kan uppnås genom att implementera IIOT-teknik, vilket möjliggör interoperabilitet, där den datoriserade maskinen sömlöst kan kommunicera och överföra information mellan dem. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka de potentiella effekterna av att integrera IIOT i det organisatoriska ramverket och ytterligare utforska fördelarna som uppnåddes i termer av produktivitet och underhåll. Denna tilltänkta studie koncentrerade sig på svetsavdelningen i VCE och prioriterade specifika robotar för forskningen. För att förbättra anslutningen och visualisera data skapades dessutom en anpassningsbar instrumentpanel för att underlätta realtidsspårning av robotarna och ett varningssystem utvecklades för att meddela problemen i realtid. För att genomföra studien var denna forskning avsedd att använda en speciell IIOT-programvara Thingworx från PTC-gemenskapen. Forskningen genomfördes med omfattande intervjuer och observation på verkstadsgolvet enligt en kvalitativ analysmetodik. Genom intervjuerna fokuserades de prioriterade enheterna och baserat på slutanvändarens krav visualiserades de valda datataggarna. Vidare har resultaten från forskningen analyserats och diskuterats om hur IIOT-teknik potentiellt skulle kunna gynna en organisation.

The Conversion of Manual Machining Equipment into Smart, Connected Systems with Real-Time Monitoring and Issue Identification CapabilitiesWilliams, David Lee 01 June 2019 (has links)
With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, information technology and manufacturing systems are merging to form what is now known as Smart Manufacturing. However, with this newer technology being integrated with newer pieces of machining equipment, companies with legacy equipment occasionally are in a bind since these machines were not designed or built with the fundamental components of smart manufacturing systems: unified connectivity, real-time monitoring, and issue identification. The purpose of this research is to provide a solution for converting manual machining equipment into smart systems with these fundamental components of smart manufacturing. The pieces of equipment that were the subjects of this experimentation were an HJ-1100 Kingston lathe and four ACER Vertical Turret Milling machines. None of these machines had any of these capabilities at the inception of this project.These machines were successfully converted into smart systems with varying degrees of reliability between the lathe and the four mills in the case of real-time monitoring and issue identification. The setups and configurations to achieve these three smart components are described and provided.
