Abstract

To ensure sustainable manufacturing the energy consumption of production processes must be minimized. SAP Research is active in two European Community's Seventh Framework Program (FP7) projects: GINSENG and KAP. The combined aim of GINSENG and KAP projects is to allow for event-based monitoring of the Production Performance Indicators (PPI) that can be used to, e.g., shut down idle machines or to optimize the material flow. In this demo we illustrate how the energy consumption for lightening and heating can be controlled with the use of wireless sensor nodes that measure temperature, light and humidity. Events describing the indoor climate, originating from TelosB motes, are processed using the middleware developed within the GINSENG project and subsequently visualized using a dashboard. Visualization includes also warnings regarding excessive energy consumption, which can be simulated with light beams or hand warmth.
