Abstract

The paper presents a solution for data collection from devices embedded on industrial resources. The proposed architecture is validated using an industrial robot from Omron. Since not all devices that acquire electrical signals from sensors and transmit them in centralized environments (e.g., Cloud) have advanced processing capabilities, the creation of an aggregation node that concentrates data from different types of sources and sends it to the Cloud database is proposed. The data is collected, aggregated and uploaded to the private cloud platform for centralized manufacturing control tasks (product scheduling, resource allocation, monitoring and diagnosis). Experimental results are reported.
