Microservice information and management system for digitalization of document flow of APCS projects

Abstract

A microservice information management system (IMS) that allows automation the preparing process of the required documentation for the developed projects of the automated control systems for technological processes (APCS) is proposed. The main requirements for digitalization of document flow of such projects are outlined. The functionality of all services implemented in the IMS is considered. A data storage method is determined that consider the specifics of storing not only structured information (for example, about specific equipment models, specialists, etc.), but also information about special JSON models used in the process of the service operation or calculating the configuration of an automated process control system project. The principle of forming documents on automated process control systems projects in the proposed IMS is shown. The work is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the development and deployment of automated process control systems projects for companies offering comprehensive solutions for technological processes automation at industrial enterprises.
