Abstract

Large scale manufacturing systems are capable to execute manufacturing operations across multiple product batches by coordinating many shop floor actors. Monitoring and processing in real time the information flow from these systems becomes an essential part in optimizing and detecting faults that might affect the production schedule. This paper proposes an architecture that uses big data concepts and map-reduce algorithms to process the information streams in large scale manufacturing systems, focusing on energy consumptions aggregated at various layers. Once the information is aggregated in logical streams and consolidated based on relevant metadata, a neural network is trained and used to learn historical patterns in data on each layer. This novel approach also allows accurate forecasting of the energy consumption patterns during the production cycle by using Long Short Term Memory neural networks. The paper presents a practical example on how map-reduce algorithms can be implemented and how repetitive patterns in energy consumption can be learned.
