A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR ENABLING ACCESS TO PROCESS DATA OF A FOOD PRODUCTION PLANT

摘要

A method (200) for enabling access to process data (130) of a food production plant (100) controlled by a control system (108) is provided. The method comprises receiving (202), by a central server (112), properties (110) of the food production plant (100) from the control system (108), generating (204) a data model (114) based on the properties (110), said data model (114) comprising data model properties (116), wherein the data model (114) is control system type independent, transmitting (206) the data model properties (116) to an application programming interface (API) tool (118), receiving (208) adapted data model properties (122) from the API tool (118), updating (210) the data model (114) based on the adapted data model properties (122), receiving (212), by the central server (112), plant design data (123) from a plant design tool (124), generating (214) an API (125) based on the data model (114) and the plant design data (123), and transmitting (216) the API (125) to a monitoring device (128), thereby providing for that the monitoring device (128) is enabled to receive the process data (130) from the food production plant (100).
