1. Introduction
This deliverable describes the experimental setup for the use cases to be realized and
implemented under the eManufacturing pilot in collaboration with and at the living
labs participating in APOLLON WP4 and partner SMEs situated at different locations
within EU. The use cases requirements and prerequisites are documented in the
deliverable D4.1. We briefly describe the generic use cases identified in consultation
and collaboration among living labs and SME partners. Furthermore the description
of use case at each living lab locations is illustrated. The generic and specific
description of experimental set up highlight the similarities and differences in the
hardware and software of the experimental setups at different living labs and partner
SMEs in Germany, Portugal and Hungary. Finally the document is concluded with
the summary of the experimental set up and collaboration among the living labs and
SMEs within EU.

Here,
wireless
sensors
installed
at
different
locations
of
the
plant
emit
signals
indicating
the
approximate
location
of
an
asset.
An
important
element
of
this
scenario
is
to
map
these
approximate
coordinates
into
absolute
warehouse/shop
floor
locations
which
are
identifiable
in
the
warehouse
management
systems.
Localization
architecture
will
help
in
identifying
material
flow
on
the
shop-‐floor.
Furthermore,
it
will
aid
in
asset
monitoring
and
management
(a
part
which
is
essential
in
Warehouse
Management).

The
energy
meters
measure
the
energy
consumption
of
the
machine
running
in
the
Future
Factory
e.g.
milling
machine
and
the
consumption
related
data
e.g.
time
stamp,
consumption
in
kWh
and
instantaneous
consumption
in
kW
are
communicated
to
ubigrate
CC
link
adapters.
MDI
HTTP
agent
subscribes
to
the
data
from
glasnost
using
the
MDI
HTTP
agent.
The
data
are
collected
every
few
seconds
(schedule
time
can
be
adjusted)
by
the
middleware
and
are
event
based.
Event
based
architecture
register
the
events
only
to
filter
the
data
and
avoid
the
work
load
i.e.
if
there
is
change
in
consumption
data
then
only
new
data
are
communicated
to
the
logic
agent
of
MDI.
There
is
another
Xcelsius
agent
(SAP
BuinessObjects
Xcelsius
is
an
SAP
reporting
solution)
which
facilitates
the
communication
between
MDI
logic
agent
and
the
SAP
Xcelsius
Energy
Dashboard
application
(Shown
in
Figure
1).
The
block
diagram
of
the
architecture
of
the
use
case
is
shown
in
Figure
6.
The
data
received
from
the
energy
meters
can
be
stored
in
the
external
database
(not
shown
in
the
figure
6)
using
the
database
connector
agent.
These
data
can
be
used
for
future
analysis
and
statistical
calculations.

b) Agilion
Anchor:
The
anchor
nodes
are
fixed
at
a
position
in
the
localization
network.
These
are
the
base
points
for
positioning
and
could
be
used
for
forwarding
the
position
information
as
well.
An
Agilion

is
shown
in
the
Figure

c) Agilion
Gateway:
Gateways
are
the
base
points
in
the
localization
network
like
Anchors.
Furthermore
they
are
the
interface
between
the
IT
infrastructure
(e.g.
Ethernet)
and
the
wireless
localization
network.
The
IT
infrastructure
is
used
for
the
exchange
of
localization
information
and
application
specific
data
between
the
wireless
localization
network
and
the
localization
database
server.
Depending
on
the
size
of
localization
networks
for
larger
number
of
mobile
tags
and
correct
position
information,
large
numbers
of
gateways
are
recommended
for
use.
We
have
used
one
Gateway
in
SAP
Research
Future
Factory
living
lab
in
Dresden,
Germany.

7. Summary
In
this
document
we
have
briefly
described
three
use
cases
and
common
hardware
and
software
required
for
the
experimental
set
up
of
use
cases.
The
use
cases
were
presented,
discussed
and
agreed
with
partner
living
labs
and
participating
SMEs
of
the
work
package.
The
use
case
description
is
followed
by
the
brief
description
of
SAP
prototype
middleware
for
device
integration.
SAP
middleware
for
device
integration
connect
devices
at
the
shop
floor
with
the
business
systems.
The
usage
of
hardware
and
application
software
varies
due
to
use
of
hardware
from
different
vendors.
These
differences
are
highlighted
in
the
description
of
use
cases
to
be
realized
at
different
living
labs
in
Portugal
and
Hungary
respectively.
The
middleware
will
facilitate
the
collaboration
among
the
SMEs
at
different
locations.
For
example
service
developed
by
the
SME
in
Germany
can
be
consumed
by
the
SMEs
in
Portugal
using
the
hardware
manufactured
by
the
SME
in
Portugal
or
SME
in
Hungary
and
vice
versa.
