two.1.4) Short description
The University seek bids from suppliers able to achieve seamless ISA-95 compliant digital connectivity
for seventy-three (73) machines located in the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC).
The University require a single supplier to provide a solution which covers real-time data acquisition from machines and equipment(directly, via gateways and/or external sensors), data integration and synchronisation using a Message Bus system as well as data visualisation on live dashboards.
This IIoT tender consists of three overarching components as described below, namely:
- Component 1: Power consumption and status (on/off/idle) monitoring for all machines and equipment located in the AFRC (73 machines)
- Component 2: Real-time data acquisition from machinery and equipment with communication means located in the AFRC (48 machines)
- Component 3 : Data integration, synchronisation, visualisation, and storage using an IIoT Platform (i.e., Message Bus system).
Due to the nature of NMIS operation, machinery and equipment selected for digital connectivity within this tender, have different digital capabilities and can be divided into two groups, as follows:
1. Machinery and equipment without communication means, such as various band saws, cranes, welders, legacy equipment etc. These
machines might have legacy controllers or may only have a power supply cable (25 machines)
2. Machinery and equipment with communication means. These are controlled by a PLC or CNC, have HMI and can potentially communicate with external devices via various communication protocols, including but not limited to Modbus TCP/IP, Profibus, Ethernet, MTConnect, OPC UA etc. (48 machines)
For most of the machines, additional external data acquisition systems such as various gateways, IPCs, edge devices etc. will be required in order to achieve live data acquisition.
For machinery and equipment without any communication means, it is expected to use external systems (e.g., current clamps) to collect data on energy consumption a well as machines` on/off/idle status.
In order to sustain data collection and synchronisation from multiple machines and equipment as well as to provide access to this data for different (3rd party) applications, an open Message Bus system (unified namespace provider) needs to be in the centre of the digital transformation.
Thus, this tender covers real-time data acquisition from machines and equipment (directly, via gateways and/or external sensors), data integration and synchronisation using a Message Bus system as well as data visualisation on live dashboards.
