Master's thesis presents a system for monitoring and analyzing the modular production system running on the edge device. It connects two Siemens products, controller S7-1200 on one side and cloud platform MindSphere on the other. Raspberry Pi 3B + presents the edge device, where all the computing happens. It collects data from five controllers, analyzes them, and sends reduced data to the cloud server. Edge device has also implemented error alerts, which can stop the production and alert the operator in case of malfunction. Additional functionality is the ability to classify the workpiece by color and direct it to the specific warehouse, depending on predefined conditions. All processes can be monitored and observed on the dashboard, built-in Node-Red environment. Processed data are stored on cloud server MindSphere, which has abillity to display them interactively.
