Retrofit: Creating Awareness in Embedded Systems - A Usecase for PLCs
The next step for companies towards smart manufacturing is to process the previously integrated and contextualised data to create manufacturing intelligence. This poster presents a use case for enhancing self-awareness, contextual-awareness, and peer-to-peer awareness to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) by using low-cost IoT equipment. An experimental setup is demonstrated investigating enhanced awareness features for the PLC making use of internal and external temperature measurements.
