Data Lake System Implementation.The data lake will able to store the incoming data from the sensors and actuators in the three demonstration plants. The “data lake” will store the raw information as it is sent from the devices and provide a data processing pipeline that will validate, clean, homogenize, aggregate and transfer the data to a data storage that will serve as the data source for the digital twin and the representation dashboards, as well as, the Deep Learning algorithms. The data store will also provide a semantic data layer that will enrich the information with annotations to be used in the dashboard representations and the digital twins. This semantic data will be provided by the data processing pipeline and act as an abstraction layer between the raw data coming from the sensors and the representation layers, allowing to have a common representation model for the several processes involved.The data lake will be a common infrastructure to the three case studies and will be hosted in a public or private cloud environment accessible to all interested parties under high security provided by the IMPACT platform. Data processing will be carried by elastic infrastructure components based on big data techniques such as Spark and Hadoop and running on containerized workload management environments such as Kubernetes.

Dashboard System Implementation.The dashboard functionality will provide information about the signals, both of their status and their history and future trends, as well as allowing to analyse the state of the predictive model and its performance over time. On one hand, Techedge will create several dashboards that allow to visualize in a centralized way the current state of the input and output signals, from which it will be possible to validate the current state of each scenario under study and the possible incidents related to the different signs. Dashboard will be able to visualize the historical information of the signals and, through different analytical models, will be able to visualize the tendency of those signals in the future to be able to act preventively. The other scenario will allow analysing the effectiveness of predictive models over time and visualize how the actions carried out by deep learning models have influenced the system positively or negatively. From these dashboards, it will be possible to discover how the retraining performed by the system can improve the results, making the environment more and more efficient.
