Modeling Automation for Manufacturing Processes to Support Production Monitoring

Technologies connected to Industry 4.0 have over time provided a major boost in several domains. The Internet of Things has confirmed benefits in several areas from healthcare, aeronautics and automotive industries, to entertainment. Currently, the challenges requested to the industry have forced the hiring of professionals from various areas of knowledge. Technologies related to Industry 4.0, such as sensors and microcontrollers, have been providing support to the various processes that occur during manufacturing processes in industry. Business process model languages, such as Business Process Model and Notation, are good tools to help communication between the different stakeholders who share the same workplace, helping in the process of modeling the entire industrial business. These tools do not have, at least natively, the possibility to program microcontroller type devices. This paper aims to present an automation system in the context of a business model process for programming microcontroller devices following the Model Driven Architecture paradigm.
