The 2016 AMOS Project Show Case: Rogue Vision

Team / Project Rogue Vision reports:


Students of the Agile Methods Open Source Project teamed up with Siemens Corporate Technology to develop Rogue Vision, an Open Source Industry 4.0 Data Analytics Application. The App enables remote monitoring of the Siemens flexible transportation line Demonstrator.

The Demonstrator was developed by Siemens AG together with Festo, SAP and Deutsche Telekom as an Industry 4.0 research project for the IT-Gipfel 2015 event in Berlin. Core of this Demonstrator is a flexible transportation system with so called Carriers as production containers that can be tracked and controlled individually on the production line.

The software system that was developed by the FAU Students is able to identify and visualize the energy consumption and the position of the Carriers on their way through the production line. As a result, it is possible to see different types of Carrier contamination types that are based on increased energy consumption of the Carriers. Additionally, Rogue Vision has possibilities to display the flexibility of the Demonstrator line by visualizing the Carrier speeds of the individual Carriers. The goal is to possibly integrate these functionalities into the production environment to detect Carrier Contamination or issues on the Demonstrator in real time.
