Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel framework capable of establishing machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions between chemical and electrical systems in the industry. The semantic framework termed as ElChemo addresses the challenges in M2M interaction of entities from different silos, such as differences in the domains’ behaviour, the heterogeneities arising from different vocabularies and software. The OntoTwin ontology has been developed based on OntoPowSys and OntoEIP ontologies, which are parts of an intelligent platform called the "J-Park Simulator (JPS)". The ElChemo framework uses Description Logic (DL) and SPIN reasoning techniques to establish the interaction between the chemical and electrical systems in a plant. As use-case we study a depropaniser section of a chemical plant and its corresponding electrical system as a use case scenario to demonstrate the interoperability between the two silos within the ElChemo framework. The results indicate that the proposed approach can achieve significant economic benefits.
