Resumen de Interconnected services for time-series data management in smart manufacturing scenarios

Kevin Villalobos Rodriguez

• The rise of Smart Manufacturing, together with the strategic initiatives carried out worldwide, have promoted its adoption among manufacturers who are increasingly interested in boosting data-driven applications for different purposes, such as product quality control, predictive maintenance of equipment, etc. However, the adoption of these approaches faces diverse technological challenges with regard to the data-related technologies supporting the manufacturing data life-cycle. The main contributions of this dissertation focus on two specific challenges related to the early stages of the manufacturing data life-cycle: an optimized storage of the massive amounts of data captured during the production processes and an efficient pre-processing of them. The first contribution consists in the design and development of a system that facilitates the pre-processing task of the captured time-series data through an automatized approach that helps in the selection of the most adequate pre-processing techniques to apply to each data type. The second contribution is the design and development of a three-level hierarchical architecture for time-series data storage on cloud environments that helps to manage and reduce the required data storage resources (and consequently its associated costs). Moreover, with regard to the later stages, a thirdcontribution is proposed, that leverages advanced data analytics to build an alarm prediction system that allows to conduct a predictive maintenance of equipment by anticipating the activation of different types of alarms that can be produced on a real Smart Manufacturing scenario.
