Abstract
With the development of Industry 4.0, digitalization and automation have modernized industrial processes, prioritizing smooth data exchange and integration for better performance and improved efficiency. However, significant challenges persist in overcoming the gaps between design and automation systems, especially in maintaining constant data flow and interoperability. In this thesis a systematic digital continuity workflow was investigated and developed to overcome these challenges, focusing on the integration of Data Exchange in Process Industry (DEXPI) files with EcoStruxure Automation Expert (EAE) for bulk engineering and generating Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications using the AVEVA System Platform (ASP). The results demonstrated considerable improvements in time efficiency through automated instance generation, improved real-time monitoring, and scalable system integration. In addition, the integration of Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) improved interoperability between control and visualization systems, facilitating seamless data flow and better communication. The study highlights the significant role of digital continuity in speeding up the industrial automation process by automating tasks, minimizing errors, and achieving efficient control through real-time monitoring.Description
