    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2018
    Co-Authors: Danny F. Herrera, S. Bolívar Acosta, Washington X. Quevedo, Jhon A. Balseca, Víctor H. Andaluz
    Abstract:

    This document presents a virtual training system oriented for learning of electric welding applied to automotive body assembly industry. The training tasks are developed in a virtual immersion environment created with Unity 3D graphic software, in order to improve the user’s skills and welding skills through a teaching-learning process that allows the virtual manipulation of Industrial Instruments. In this way, the experience in welding task is obtained, risks of Industrial accidents are reduced and waste is eliminated.

  • power profiling of autonomous Industrial Instruments based on virtual prototyping
    Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Francisco Mendoza, Rhea Valentina
    Abstract:

    Autonomous Industrial Instruments such as energy harvesting temperature transmitters are slowly being adopted in Industrial automation systems. These are power-critical applications, since limited amount of energy is available for the operation of an Industrial instrument. Meanwhile, an instrument should be able to regularly transmit process variables during long periods of time without any maintenance. The embedded platforms used by these devices must be highly optimised in terms of low power consumption. In process industry, Instruments usually consist of complex hardware and software (HW/SW). It is critical that the instrument does not break down because of the limited power supply. However, in a traditional design flow, the power consumption is hard to estimate. Virtual prototyping provides the benefits of doing simulation in the early design stage. Yet, the conventional methodologies do not estimate the power consumption efficiently and correctly. In this work, a run-time power monitoring tool is created and integrated in a virtual prototype (VP). It is based on SystemC and Transaction-Level Modelling (TLM). When the virtual prototype executes the embedded software, the power monitoring tool parallelly gives out the power estimation. The whole estimation is achieved in the early design phase of HW/SW co-simulation. The estimation result improves the HW/SW design of the Instruments with optimised energy consumption. This shortens the time-to-market of the instrument, and reduces its development budget.

  • human machine interface for virtual prototyping of Industrial Instruments
    International Conference on Industrial Informatics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Rhea Valentina, Markus Ruppert, Philipp Nenninger, Francisco Mendoza
    Abstract:

    Instrumentation is an important part in the Industrial automation domain as it is fundamentally required for process control loops. Virtual Prototyping (VP) as prime technology is considered as a novel approach to aid in the development Industrial Instruments. However, using state-of-the-art VP technologies requires a high degree of expertise, thereby limiting its usability among multi-disciplinary teams. This paper proposes a new approach for easing the use of VP technologies among different domain experts. It provides common grounds for domain experts to productively interact and share knowledge already in early stages of development. This is done by extending an existing virtual prototype of an Industrial Instrument with an integrated interfacing methodology. In this paper, the design, implementation, and integration of a custom HMI for an Industrial temperature transmitter instrument are presented. This includes the verification and validation of the VP-enhanced development process. The presented evaluation shows the encapsulation of the complexity of Virtual Platform-based development process to enable agile development of Industrial Instruments.
