Production 4.0 of Ring Mill 4 Ovako AB

Abstract: Cyber-Physical System (CPS) or Digital-Twin approach are becoming popular in industry 4.0 revolution. CPS not only allow to view the online status of equipment, but also allow to predict the health of tool. Based on the real time sensor data, it aims to detect anomalies in the industrial operation and prefigure future failure, which lead it towards smart maintenance. CPS can contribute to sustainable environment as well as sustainable production, due to its real-time analysis on production. In this thesis, we analyzed the behavior of a tool of Ringvalsverk 4, at Ovako with its twin model (known as Digital-Twin) over a series of data. Initially, the data contained unwanted signals which is then cleaned in the data processing phase, and only before production signal is used to identify the tool’s model. Matlab’s system identification toolbox is used for identifying the system model, the identified model is also validated and analyzed in term of stability, which is then used in CPS. The Digital-Twin model is then used and its output being analyzed together with tool’s output to detect when its start deviate from normal behavior.
