Collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools
Comment: The project developed a tool called “Virtual Obeya”, in order to support the design activities and the collaboration between different people inside and/or outside the company. The tool provides also a lean management of the product development activities.

Collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools
Comment: The FALCON Virtual Open Platform will be designed as a distributed, multi-system platform consisting of a number of different tools and systems. These include modules for: 1) integrating different types of Product Embedded Information Devices and sensors, 2) extracting information from different social media sources (semantic analysis of unstructured text for blogs and forums, sentiment analysis tools for twitter, etc.), 3) integrating data from third party enterprise systems (e.g. CAD, PLM, ERP systems) 4) provide collaborative, cross-disciplinary design and decision-support for stakeholders involved in the product-service lifecycle. FALCON will implement a semantic middleware to integrate these components, based on the development of the FALCON ontology which will represent concepts of the product-service lifecycle.

ICT performance characteristics
Interoperability (ICT)
Comment: Interoperability between installed equipment and infrastructure (machines, environment, people) is critical to capture and process data for the COMPOSITION IIMS components.
Results:
Interoperability for M2M & HMI in factory environments II
Interoperability for M2M & HMI in factory environments II
Collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools
Comment: The COMPOSITION project will address the issue of extended enterprises allowing the interaction and collaboration of all stakeholders in the COMPOSITION Marketplace as every business entity will be represented by agents at the ecosystem. Some of information from companies’ IIMS will be reflected at the ecosystem in a Collaborative Manufacturing Services Ontology which will be used as a central knowledge base. The Matchmaker will infer knew knowledge from the knowledge base by applying both syntactic and semantic matching in terms of manufacturing capabilities, in order to find the best possible supplier to fulfil a request. Different criteria for selection according to several qualitative and quantitative factors will be considered.

Interoperability (ICT)
Comment: According to the RAMI 4.0 architecture, the “standard” way for Industrie 4.0 platforms to integrate legacy equipment (or any other kind of legacy “object”, including software components) into will be to encapsulate them inside an ad-hoc Administration Shell wrapper, which will expose them as I4.0 Components. The I4.0 interface specification has not been published yet, but a key enabling technology will probably be OPC UA, used as both a communication protocol and a data meta-model. In FAR-EDGE, OPC UA will be one of the field communication technology supported.

Collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools
Comment:

The UPTIME platform is built upon the predictive maintenance concept, the technological pillars (i.e. Industry 4.0, IoT and Big Data, Proactive Computing) and the existing baseline tools (i.e. USG, preInO, PANDDA, SeaBAR, DRIFT) resulting in a unified information system for predictive maintenance. The extended UPTIME baseline tools (SENSE, DETECT, PREDICT, DECIDE, ANALYZE, FMECA, VISUALIZE) will address the various steps of the unified predictive maintenance approach and will incorporate interconnections with other industrial operations related to production planning, quality management and logistics management.

Comment:

Α Web API will return semantic data. The communication interface is through the SPARQL query engine. Z-BRE4K ontology is implemented with the Open Semantic Framework (OSF), an integrated software stack using semantic technologies for knowledge management. Furthermore, JSON formatted data from the shop floor is transferred through a MQTT broker, to be finally stored in I-LiKe machines internal data repository. IDS connectors are used to transform data into the NGSI format, move the data to the ORION context broker to be finally consumed by other applications. Also, the Quality Information Framework (QIF) standard guarantees interoperability since it defines an integrated set of information models that enable the effective exchange of metrology data throughout the entire manufacturing quality measurement process – from product design to inspection planning to execution to analysis and reporting. OpenCPPS (part of AUTOWARE) will provide support for selected mainstream communication protocols and will define the proper interfaces for other communication protocols to be plugged-in.

Collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools
Comment:

Orion is a C++ implementation of the NGSIv2 REST API binding developed as a part of the FIWARE platform that allows the management of the entire lifecycle of context information including updates, queries, registrations and subscriptions. It is an NGSIv2 server implementation to manage context information and its availability allowing subscription to context information so when some condition occurs notifications are sent. The Industrial Data Space foster secure data exchange among its participants, while at the same time ensuring data sovereignty for the participating data owners. The architecture of the Industrial Data Space does not require central data storage capabilities but follows a decentralized approach, meaning that data physically remain with the respective data owner until they are transmitted to a trusted party. Thus, the Industrial Data Space is not a cloud platform, but an architectural approach to connect various, different platforms.
