Abstract
Industrial automation systems are multi-technological
systems that contain in-house developed and COTS hardware
and software sub-systems. Automation systems can be used
to control various industrial processes ranging from
water management to pulp and paper production. These
systems are used for a long time and are upgraded in
order to keep the system up-to-date. Typically,
automation system providers serve their customers
worldwide, meaning that the service operations are spread
geographically over several continents. Furthermore, the
service organisation needs to cooperate internally with
R&D and externally with customers and COTS providers so
as to gain a necessary understanding of which upgrades
are urgent and which can be done later. This paper
discusses the importance of a systematic upgrade planning
service in a distributed operational environment and
presents as well as demonstrates the process description
and related tools that have been composed based on an
industrial case study in an automation company.
