Key Performance Indicators for energy efficient asset management in a factory automation testbed

摘要

This paper presents the selection of a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to improve the awareness of different manufacturing assets, including those related to energy efficiency. The implementation relies on Service Oriented Architecture deployed by Web Services and the further processing of the generated events by the application of an Event Processing Language based on rules. The proposed approach is illustrated with the implementation on a multi robot production line.
