Cognitive Architectures for Process Monitoring - an Analysis

In smart manufacturing, the demand increases to be able to monitor and adjust process execution during production. It has led to a shift towards distributed, modular automation. A solution seems to be to use a cognitive architecture. It turns out that their generality often makes them unsuitable for specific industrial problems. In this paper, we propose a cognition-inspired architecture design for health monitoring tasks. The problem class is represented by a conveyor belt use case. We then discuss to what extent this architecture matches common implementations of cognitive theories by following a generalized cognitive process.
