are Internet things, any actions in the shop are reflected in the production model in real time.
Complete information about the state of the object and computing power allow realizing the
self-optimization mode in control instead of the usual, today, cyclic execution of the loaded
program.
Self-optimizing manufacturing is called SmartFactory. Intelligent management affects
production processes such as production planning, development of new technologies, logistics,
enterprise resource planning (ERP), production management (MES), and management
technological process (ACS TP). The SmartFactory concept has a big advantage: it significantly
reduces the number of distributed automation equipment, which makes operation easier and
reduces maintenance costs.
The organization of cloud-based foundry
automation is not yet ready for
implementation, as there are problems with
performance, real-time operation, fast data
collection and communication with servers
[2]. These problems have been solved in
high-budget industries such as banking.
The downside of cloud computing
is the big vulnerability of the system.
Network data transmission increases
the risk of third-party interference
and requires adequate cybersecurity of all
equipment and processes. There are two main
points: data encryption and access control of
connection to the Network [2]. At the same
time, the opportunities offered by the cloud
computing system cover the losses from possible
disruptions in the operation of the enterprise.
In the near future, we can expect the
introduction of the SaaS service in the part of the CAE software. Calculation of the solidification
of castings on a PC no longer meets the needs of production. Providing server capacity with
an application can reduce the cost of calculations and dramatically increase their efficiency.
Another direction in the use of cloud technologies is instrumentation. Determination of the
chemical composition of alloys by spectral analysis requires the use of GSO for instrument
calibration. The set of reference materials at the enterprise is, as a rule, limited. X-ray analyzers
are expensive and expensive in service. The transformation of an optical emission spectrometer
into an Internet thing allows you to calibrate from the server and determine the entire line of
industrial alloys.
The introduction of cyber-physical systems and virtualization in the modern IT world
is becoming a standard solution. The latest control technologies will inevitably come to the
foundry industry. The Association of Foundry Workers of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad
