Abstract:

The Industry 4.0 approach purpose the massive transformation of the traditional plants into smart factories, however the current industrial shop floor, is composed of a large number of dumb devices (legacy devices). This work describes an approach for integrating legacy devices with a cloud-based IoT platform. This proposal uses the following steps: Virtualize the real equipment, connect the virtual equipment to the cloud, make all the necessary tests with the virtual equipment, and after testing it connects the real equipment with the cloud. We opted for the initial use of a virtual equipment (virtual Modular Production System-CIROS®), as this creates a totally free and secure development and a testing environment without having to stop the real equipment in the shop floor for testing. In this approach were used the same tools that the companies use, such as OPC UA, UaGateway, CODESYS®, and the integration was carried out with SAP IoT Cloud Platform.
