Manufacturing Execution Systems for the Food and Beverage Industry: A Model-Driven Approach

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are process-oriented information-technology (IT) solutions for collecting and managing information from manufacturing processes. Due to the individual programming effort and the complex integration with other manufacturing systems, though the food and beverage manufacturers can benefit from the MES, its implementation is not widespread in this industry. To simplify the implementation and engineering process, the concept of model-driven engineering (MDE) is considered as a solution. However, a feasible model-driven approach for MES engineering has not been established, not to mention for the food and beverage industry. This paper presents an approach for the automatic MES generation according to the MDE concept providing MES functions that are relevant to the food and beverage manufacturing processes primarily. It consists of necessary phases to cover the whole engineering process of the MES. Based on the application of the presented approach to the brewing process in a brewhouse, the feasibility and practicality of this approach were proven.

“…Nevertheless, in the current manufacturing industry, the application of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) are still very disseminated solutions to take into account visualization, planning and control tasks in several industrial scenarios [47,48]. MES provides many functionalities to the current industry in relation to execute monitoring, resources allocation, tasks scheduling, data collection/acquisition, management, maintenance, tracking, performance analysis and control operations on the shop floor, with real-time access to key performance indices to facilitate the decision-making and reconfiguration actions [49]. By the other hand, ERP manages and track all the information and operational service in a company, covering functional areas such as: human resources, logistics, finance and production [50].…”

Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) in industrial manufacturing facilities demand a continuous interaction with different and a large amount of distributed and networked computing nodes, devices and human operators. These systems are critical to ensure the quality of production and the safety of persons working at the shop floor level. Furthermore, this situation is similar in other domains, such as logistics that, in turn, are connected and affect the overall production efficiency. In this context, this article presents some key steps for integrating three pillars of CPS (production line, logistics and facilities) into the current smart manufacturing environments in order to adopt an industrial Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems (CPSoS) paradigm. The approach is focused on the integration in several digital functionalities in a cloud-based platform to allow a real time multiple devices interaction, data analytics/sharing and machine learning-based global reconfiguration to increase the management and optimization capabilities for increasing the quality of facility services, safety and energy efficiency and industrial productivity. Conceptually, isolated systems may enhance their capabilities by accessing to information of other systems. The approach introduces particular vision, main components, potential and challenges of the envisioned CPSoS. In addition, the description of one scenario for realizing the CPSoS vision is presented. The results herein presented will pave the way for the adoption of CPSoS that can be used as a pilot for further research on this emerging topic.

“…A reduced number of research papers focused on vertical integration of enterprise layers are available in academic environment (Arica and Powell 2018). An early specification for the MES dates back to the 90's in the works of (Barkmeyer et al 1999;Deuel 1994).…”

“…The scarcity of MES literature is also highlighted by (Arica and Powell 2018) which identifies only one literature review since 2009 done by (De Ugarte, Artiba, and Pellerin 2009) which is focused on technological developments and disadvantages of MES. A second literature review in the field is done by (Arica and Powell 2018) with the goal of supporting the MES selection process. The approach proposes a taxonomy to characterizes MES in two categories of factors: business and manufacturing and technological.…”

“…In the near future within the MES is clearly expected a paradigm change for UI (Arica and Powell 2018): the visualization plays an important role both at lower and higher levels on the vertical scale. Currently the authors are already using some augmented reality related features (Blaga and Tamas 2018), which can be seen on also on this video: https://youtu.be/ BjXEL-VZbnw…”

In this paper an overview and a demonstration for the vertical integration of manufacturing enterprise layers are described by implementing the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). In the first part of the paper the details regarding the MES implementation are described, while in the second part the use case specific insights are highlighted. The presented use case contains each important step of a production line involving also a collaborative Baxter type robot and the state-of-the-art tools for MES implementation. The cobot-involved use case is relevant and generic enough in the context of Industry 4.0 offering a good overview of a typical vertical integration use case which can be generalized and applied to manufacturing scenarios. The paper ends with the lessons learned from the vertical integration process as well as future direction which can be followed in such a context.
