IMAGINE reference architecture and IMAGINE platform

IMAGINE Project developed a novel end-to-end management methodology of dynamic manufacturing networks, which was implemented by a novel service oriented, event driven architecture that provides consolidated and coordinated view of information from various manufacturing sources and systems. The IMAGINE Platform follows a modular and service oriented architecture which enables it to be customizable. This provides the ability to exploit different component clusters. The components of the IMAGINE Platform could be divided in four groups. • IMAGINE Platform Core Components • Analysis and Configuration Phase Components • Design Phase Components • Management, Execution and Monitoring Phase Components • Dynamic Monitoring Components
