    Comment:

    The system blueprint is the FAR-EDGE RA. After having defined the requirements and the constraints for each block of the RA, a thorough analysis of the SotA has been done, which led to the identification of some existing software components meeting the specs. We then identified the gaps that the project will need to fill-in: not surprisingly, these where all the key enabling technologies, like the distributed ledger. However, hardly anything is going to be built totally from scratch in FAR-EDGE. The distributed ledger, for example, will be a customization of a generic, open source Blockchain platform (Hyperledger Fabric).

      ICT Architectures
      Comment: Relevant architectures for FAR-EDGE are Platform Industrie 4.0 (RAMI 4.0), Industrial Internet Consortium (IIRA), OpenFog Consortium (OpenFog RA). We will use the 3D coordinate system from RAMI 4.0 to map the elements of the FAR-EDGE Platform to concepts that are commonly understood and agreed on within the Industrie 4.0 community. We are also taking care that the FAR-EDGE Platform implementation will be compatible with future Industrie 4.0 compliant equipment – in particular I4.0 Components – by supporting OPC UA as the main protocol for field communication. Regarding IIRA and OpenFog RA, in the FAR-EDGE RA we are adopting a key architectural pattern included in both of them (with different names): a layered approach that leverages peer-to-peer communication in each layer to decentralize control. The most visible trait of the FAR-EDGE reference architecture is its partitioning into horizontal layers having different scopes – i.e., in bottom-up order: Fog (field, shopfloor), Edge (plant), Cloud (enterprise, supply chain). This pattern in inspired from a similar one in IIRA, called Layered Databus. However, in FAR-EDGE there is no “databus” included in each layer, but rather an additional layer called the Ledger, positioned between the Edge and the Cloud ones. Its role is to coordinate the execution of distributed processes running on Edge Gateways. The horizontal partitioning of the RA is driven by technical concerns (e.g., where software components are deployed, who are the stakeholders of their implementation). There is also a vertical partitioning, though, which is orthogonal to the horizontal one. This is a high-level functional decomposition which identifies three functional scopes: Automation, Virtualization and Analytics (more on that in the API section below).

    Comment:

    UPTIME will reframe predictive maintenance strategy in a systematic and unified way with the aim to fully exploit the advancements in ICT and maintenance management by examining the potential of big data in an e-maintenance infrastructure taking into account the Gartner’s four levels of data analytics maturity and the
    proactive computing principles.

      ICT Architectures
      Comment:

      The UPTIME conceptual architecture was designed according to the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 “System and software engineering – Architecture description” and mapped to RAMI 4.0 in order to ensure that it can be represent predictive maintenance in the frame of Industry 4.0.

      The UPTIME vision converges and synthesizes predictive maintenance, proactive computing, the Gartner’s levels of industrial analytics maturity and the ISO 13374 as implemented in MIMOSA OSA-CBM in order to create a consistent basis for a generic predictive maintenance architecture in an IoT-based industrial environment. In this way, the Operational Technology and the Information Technology can also be converged in the context of Industry 4.0.

        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.

    Information and communication technologies
    Comment:

    The Z-Break solution uses a variety of communication protocols. HTTP, OPC-UA, IEEE 802.15.4e and IEC WirelessHART. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. OPC UA supports two protocols. The binary protocol is opc.tcp://Server and http://Server is for Web Service. Otherwise OPC UA works completely transparent to the API. IEEE 802.15.4 is a technical standard which defines the operation of low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). It specifies the physical layer and media access control for LR-WPANs, and is maintained by the IEEE 802.15 working group, which defined the standard in 2003. WirelessHART is a wireless sensor networking technology based on the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol (HART). Developed as a multi-vendor, interoperable wireless standard, WirelessHART was defined for the requirements of process field device networks. Also, it uses the NGSI protocol. NGSI is a protocol developed to manage Context Information. It provides operations like managing the context information about context entities, for example the lifetime and quality of information and access (query, subscribe/notify) to the available context Information about context Entities.

      Comment:

      The Z-Bre4k solution is based on the blackboard architectural model. This model is mainly an artificial intelligence approach, where a common knowledge base, the "blackboard", is iteratively updated by a diverse group of specialist knowledge sources, starting with a problem specification and ending with a solution. Each knowledge source updates the blackboard with a partial solution when its internal constraints match the blackboard state. In this way, the specialists work together to solve the problem. The blackboard model was originally designed as a way to handle complex, ill-defined problems, where the solution is the sum of its parts. The blackboard component acts as a central repository system. The rest of the software applications (components) act independently at the common data structure stored on the blackboard, they respond on changes and create new reactions according to changes. Interaction between components is implemented via the blackboard.

        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.
