The Hermes Standard is a successor of SMEMA (IPC-SMEMA-9851) by replacing simple opening and closing of circuits and dedicated wiring to define Ready signals, with XML messages sent via Network Sockets over Ethernet.
The use of XML means not only control messages can be sent between manufacturing equipment but also product data for Automatic or Copilot Equipment Setup and Product Traceability.
To Install the The Hermes Standard Supervisory App Read the Wiki.
The Digital Economy has grown over the last 30 years and the people that work within it use the Web Browser has their native user interface. To employ their skills into the Manufacturing industry we must use the same technologies to talk the same language.
Setup and Remote Monitoring is conducted by a Browser based user interface. The Web Browser is the last App you will have to install.
As software with a defined purpose, the Supervisory App will fulfill that purpose, but we now work within the Industry 4.0 era where shop floor technicals should be able to customise their solutions based on their changing needs. If that means the injection or extraction of data at given points, then a true Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) based product should give the option for change.
The Supervisory App runs as a Software Extension on the MultiPlug Edge Computing Platform that allows additional functionality to be loaded by other Software Extensions. MultiPlug.Ext.Hermes.Supervisory is one such proprietary Extension but other Open Source Extensions can be loaded. New Extensions can be created using the .Net programming language.
MultiPlug uses the Publish–Subscribe design pattern where events are mapped to subscriptions using a visual web browser editor making it fully flexible for changing needs.
