Alignment of the IEEE industrial agents recommended practice standard with the ...
Leitão, Paulo; Karnouskos, Stamatis; Strasser, Thomas I.; Jia, Xiaodong; Lee, Jay; Colombo, Armando W.Industrial cyber-physical systems (ICPS) are a key element that acts as the backbone infrastructure for realizing innovative systems compliant with the fourth industrial revolution vision and requirements to realize it. Several architectures, such as the reference architectural model industry 4.0 (RAMI4.0), the industrial Internet reference architecture (IIRA), and the smart grid architecture model (SGAM), have...
Industrial agents: from the holonic paradigm to industrial cyber‐physical systems
Leitão, Paulo; Karnouskos, Stamatis; Colombo, Armando W.Traditional control approaches are based on centralised and hierarchical structures, following the well-known ANSI/ISA-95 (2010), also known as automation pyramid, which presents good production optimisation, but a weak response to condition change and reconfigurability due to the rigidity, monolithic and centralisation of their control structures (Colombo et al. 2021). These control approaches are not designed...
A 70-Year industrial electronics society evolution through industrial revolutio...
Colombo, Armando W.; Karnouskos, Stamatis; Yu, Xinghuo; Kaynak, Okyay; Luo, Ren C.; Shi, Yang; Leitão, Paulo; Ribeiro, Luis; Haase, JanThe Industrial Revolution, which originally involved the change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to a market dominated by factory mechanization during the early 18th century, has profoundly shaped the world. It has progressed through four disruptive phases: Industry 1.0 through Industry 4.0. Industry 1.0 encompassed early automation, while Industry 2.0 began at the end of the 19th century, when enormous ...
Industrial agents as a key enabler for realizing industrial cyber-physical syst...
Karnouskos, Stamatis; Leitão, Paulo; Ribeiro, Luis; Colombo, Armando W.Industrial agents (IAs) [1] are multiagentbased systems (MASs) [2] that, for many years, have been advocated as a promising and realistic solution for an emerging set of industrial challenges. In the past, MASs fell into the scope of enterprise agility [3]–[8], and now, more than ever, pertain to the industrial digital transformation and sustainability spheres. MAS technology is being applied to several industr...
Quo vadis industry 4.0? Position, trends, and challenges
Leitão, Paulo; Pires, Flávia; Karnouskos, Stamatis; Colombo, Armando W.Industry 4.0 vision and its mandated digital transformation are radically reshaping the way business is carried out and the way overall industrial processes and collaborations are operating. In this work, the objective is to analyze the current level of adoption of Industry 4.0, via the footprint available in industrial and academic research works. The analysis performed reveals insights on how Industry 4.0 has...
Digitalized and harmonized industrial production systems: the PERFoRM approach
Colombo, Armando W.; Gepp, Michael; Barata, José; Leitão, Paulo; Barbosa, José; Wermann, JeffreyOn the one side, Industrial competitiveness today means shorter product lifecycles, increased product variety, and shorter times to market and customized tangible products and services. To face these challenges, the manufacturing industry is forced to move from traditional management, control, and automation approaches towards industrial cyber-physical systems. On the other side, several emergent engineering ap...
Migration strategy toward innovative, digitalized, and harmonized production sy...
Cala, Ambra; Cachada, Ana; Pires, Flávia; Barbosa, José; Wermann, Jeffrey; Colombo, Armando W.Industry today is facing the fourth Industrial Revolution, also called Industry 4.0, pulled by the market demand of shorter delivery time and product life cycles, with increased product variety and smaller lot sizes, and pushed by innovative technologies, such as Cloud computing, big-data analysis, connected Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), Internet of Things, and related services, as well as autonomous robots an...
Engineering of next generation cyber-physical automation system architectures
Foehr, Matthias; Vollmar, Jan; Calà, Ambra; Leitão, Paulo; Karnouskos, Stamatis; Colombo, Armando W.Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) enable flexible and reconfigurable realization of automation system architectures, utilizing distributed control architectures with non-hierarchical modules linked together through different communication systems. Several control system architectures have been developed and validated in the past years by research groups. However, there is still a lack of implementation in industry. ...
Cross benefits from cyber-physical systems and intelligent products for future ...
Barbosa, José; Leitão, Paulo; Trentesaux, Damien; Colombo, Armando W.; Karnouskos, StamatisThe manufacturing industry is facing a technology paradigm change, as also captured in the Industrie 4.0 vision as the fourth industrial revolution. Future smart industries will require to optimize not only their own manufacturing processes but also the use of products and manufacturing resources, their maintenance and their recycling. In this context the strengths and weak nesses of two key concepts, namely Cy...
Instantiating the PERFORM system architecture for industrial case studies
Leitão, Paulo; Barbosa, José; Foehr, Matthias; Calà, Ambra; Perlo, Pietro; Iuzzolino, Gregorio; Petrali, Pierluigi; Vallhagen, JohanThe PERFoRM project, an innovation action promoted within the scope of the EU Horizon 2020 program, advocates the use of an Industrie 4.0 compliant system architecture for the seamless reconfiguration of robots and machinery. The system architecture re-uses the innovative results from previous successful R & D projects on distributed control systems domain, such as SOCRADES, IMC-AESOP, GRACE and IDEAS. This pap...
