In Europe, the manufacturing sector represents nearly the 22% of the GDP. Since the beginning of the European Technology Platform MANUFUTURE, Service Oriented Architecture have become the de facto in the industrial informatics research community. In most cases, SOA is implemented by using Web Service technology based on RESTful services or WS-* standards. Several publications have shown the adv...

OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is the new standard of the OPC Foundation providing interoperability in process automation and beyond. By defining abstract services, OPC UA provides a service-oriented architecture (SOA) for industrial applications – from factory floor devices to enterprise applications. OPC UA integrates the different flavors of the former OPC specifications into a unified ad...

We describe the floor used as the skin of the playful interactive space Ada, which was part of the Swiss National Exhibition Expo.02. The floor consisted of 360 hexagonal tiles, each of which comprised an aluminum frame, a glass top, a microcontroller, analog load sensors, and dimmable red, green, and blue neon lamps. A factory automation bus sensed and controlled the tiles. We developed softwa...

A NASA/ASEE Summer Study conducted at the University of Santa Clara in 1980 examined the feasibility of using advanced artificial intelligence and automation technologies in future NASA space missions. Four candidate applications missions were considered. (1) An intelligent Earth-sensing information system, (2) an autonomous space exploration system, (3) an automated space manufacturing facilit...

Abstract With advanced technologies of the Internet Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) developing, key issues challenges networking, precision, automation digitalization are arising for digital factory (DF) top designing establishing. Advanced 5G, Time Sensitive Network (TSN) Digital Twin (DT) provide new solutions DT planning operating. This study explores “5G+TSN +DT” practical DF ...

FA equipment's such as Numerical Control [3,4] machine tools, industrial robots, aiid other automated machinery are used to save energy and promote automation , which allow for high productivity and also produces quality products . The aforementioned FA equipment's is becoming more technical with the application of servo motor and motion control technologies [5 ,6,7] . Rolf Johansoon presents a...

The ready availability of inexpensive and standard communications hardware in the late 1980s, coupled with sufficient standardization of intermediate-layer protocols to make reliable machine-to-machine communication through any combination of standard devices a reality, has laid the groundwork for integrated automation on a grand scale. The contribution of the Manufacturing Automation Protocols...
