Abstract

This chapter reviews various technologies applicable in characterizing the resource utilization of manufacturing processes. A review of sensors to measure and quantitatively characterize the various flows involved in manufacturing processes and machines is first presented. Given the complexity of managing and parsing the sensor data, software tools are needed to automate data monitoring and the chapter presents a framework based on event stream processing to temporally analyze the energy consumption and operational data of machine tools and other manufacturing equipment. Finally, a case study that focuses on energy measurements and demonstrates the use of energy monitoring in reasoning over the performance of a manufacturing system is presented.
