D5.8: Data access API & Reference data store (Final Release)

This deliverable describes aims to support the final implementation outcome of the unified access to data in the manufacturing facility, regardless their source and format and provide transparent access to real-time automation data within the manufacturing facilities coming from sensors, controllers (e.g., PLCs), position encoders etc.

This document describes the final implementation outcome of task T5.4 which focuses on the integration of legacy systems with the DIGICOR middleware, and leveraging and extending mapping technologies with information stored in these legacy systems. In particular, it aims to support software developers looking to produce service tools for deployment on the DIGICOR Aerospace and SMECluster Automotive portals which leverage live data from the manufacturing facilities of the portal members. It documents the APIs and data models present in both Use Cases with additional clarification provided through manufacturing scenarios.
