Digital Mine architecture modeling language: Methodological approach to design in Industry 4.0

The article discusses proposals on unification of methods for graphical modeling of architecture of complex large-scale systems in digital transformation design of production units within the concept of Industry 4.0. Article’s Section 2 formalizes and examines the functional and nonfunctional requirements for the architecture of digital mines in Industry 4.0. Section 3 focuses on some problems connected with traditional notations of graphical modeling and offers a minimum set of interconnected diagrams suitable for the digital mine architecture design, including original diagrams developed by the present article authors. Sections 4 illustrates implementation of an approach to compilation of a set of diagrams—DEAL 1.0 (Digital Enterprise Architecture Language)—for the architectural design of an open pit mine management system. Based on the research results, the key functional and nonfunctional requirements are formulated for the digital mines within the concept of Industry 4.0, and the design methodology is proposed for the data-centric microservice architecture of a digital mine, including rethinking and modification of the current notations of graphical modeling, an original approach to construction of diagrams, a trade-off approach to systems engineering and an apparatus for the design and quality control in implementation of the complex large-scale program product.
