Developing Data Standards in Battery Cell Manufacturing

From requirements analysis to standard development procedure
David Roth, Tom Hülsmann, Felix Tidde
The growing demand for battery cells offers significant potential for the use of digital solutions in their manufacture, which in turn creates opportunities for added value through adaptive and flexible production systems. A key enabler is interoperable data exchange based on formalized data descriptions. Existing ontologies and information models remain too abstract for direct implementation. This paper presents a requirements analysis of data standards in battery cell manufacturing. A procedure for developing domain-specific standards based on OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is derived from the results.

STAG — Bridging Data from Shop Floor to IT World

An automated mapping approach for improved access to shop floor data

Collecting data from different sources on the shop floor and making it accessible to different IT systems is one of the core tasks during the process of factory digitization. Due to the different protocols and interfaces, the data collection task comes with unique challenges. With the Sensor Technology Adapter Gateway (STAG), we present a solution that closes the gap between the shop floor and the IT system’s backend. STAG is an industry-grade middleware that automates translations between data models and protocols.
