Comment:
Data communication between components is essential for the project. End users create data on their shop floor with embedded sensors on the machines, new integrated sensors developed for the project. All these data is propagated in the system with data communication protocols, such as HTTP and AMQP, creating a data stream process in the system. Interoperability between the data communication protocolos and brockers is crucial for a successful result of the data communication of the system. Various data sources work together and use different communication protocols. As a result, all these components and protocols should seamlessly work and their interoperability is what helps them. A message brocker was developed for the project, based on AMQP for data communication. In the initial phases of the project, there were also RESTful APIs that helped in the initial development of the components.
General interoperability framework
Comment:
The whole platform of the Z-Fact0r solution was able to work with other external applications, through a message brocker which is able to receive and send data to external systems. The interoperability level between the Z-Fact0r platform and external applications is essential for communication and integration purposes. Security and safety issues arise when different platforms cooperate. The Z-Fact0r platform implemented an AAA mechanism (Access, Autorisation and Authentication) to secure the safety of the platform during the connection with other external applications.
Comment:
Access was given to the Z-Fact0r platform to only authorised users. The platform installation was done either on the shop floor premises or servers deployed by the technical providing partners creating a limited access environment. There was also the authorisation between the components and external appl, where the each component was authorised in an authorisation server with their unique Bearer Token in order to subscribe in the message brocker and publish or receive the available data. Further steps, such as user authentication, were not included in the project scope.

Comment: Refrain from proprietary formats; if necessary, build adapters that go both ways (import/export).
Platform-independent micro-service architecture (micro-services are designed to be independent of Bluemix stack (but can use it if it’s there))
Standards compliance for product categorisation (eClass), business process specification (UBL), oneM2M for manufacturing interoperation.

ICT performance characteristics
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.

Platform level interoperability
Comment: Not foreseen for IEC-61499 but possible if performance (over real-time) overhead is acceptable.
Within IEC-61499, justified only if industrial requirements exists; the standard accepts the possibility to be extended in this direction. With respect to intefacing to other platfrom, complete openness to implement appropriate software gateways.

Comment:
To ensure secure access, the UPTIME Platform offers appropriate authorization and authentication mechanisms. These are based on the JWT technology and are implemented by using the Spring Security framework. Currently, JWT is used to ensure a secure log-in; as components are iteratively integrated. JWT will also be used to ensure secure communications between components.

Comment:
PROGRAMS interoperability at platform level is granted by the choice of a widely shared communication approach: JSON files over HTTP protocol. Common modules architectures and data formats for file exchange reinforce the PROGRAMS interoperable approach.
