A methodology for integrating asset administration shells and multi-agent systems
Sakurada, Lucas; Prieta Pintado, Fernando De la; Leitão, PauloIndustry 4.0 (I4.0) is promoting the digitization of industrial environments towards intelligent and distributed industrial automation systems based on Cyber-physical Systems (CPS). Currently, this digitization process is being leveraged by the Asset Administration Shell (AAS), which digitally describes an asset in a standardized and semantically unambiguous form throughout its lifecycle. However, more robust s...
Learning emergent digital technologies: the experience in the internet of thing...
Leitão, Paulo; Piardi, Luis; Sakurada, Lucas; Mendes, Andre C.Industry 4.0 is re-shaping the way companies and individuals operate, but it is also introducing strong demands in education processes to train professionals with adequate competencies in emergent digital technologies, e.g., Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence and collaborative robotics. In the last decade, innovative educational methods are being applied, e.g., problem-based learning and project-...
Digitization of industrial environments through an industry 4.0 compliant approach
Sakurada, Lucas; Prieta Pintado, Fernando De la; Leitão, PauloAbout a decade after the introduction of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) as a paradigm oriented towards the digitization of industrial environments, centered on the concept of industrial Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) to enable the development of intelligent and distributed industrial systems, many companies around the world are still not immersed in this digital transformation era. This transition is not straightforward and...
Collective intelligence in self-organized industrial cyber-physical systems
Leitão, Paulo; Queiroz, Jonas; Sakurada, LucasCyber-physical systems (CPS) play an important role in the implementation of new Industry 4.0 solutions, acting as the backbone infrastructure to host distributed intelligence capabilities and promote the collective intelligence that emerges from the interactions among individuals. This collective intelligence concept provides an alternative way to design complex systems with several benefits, such as modularit...
Integrating a multi-agent smart parking system using cloud technologies
Boos Junior, Milton; Leitão, Paulo; Sakurada, Lucas; Alves, Paulo; Alves, Gleifer; Borges, André; Antunes, DiegoSmart parking (SP) systems are becoming a solution to address the increasing traffic in major cities, which are related to the traffic congestion, unnecessary time spent searching for parking spots, and, consequently, environmental issues. These systems intend to help drivers that are searching for available parking spaces in a given desired location. This paper presents a cloud-based solution to integrate a Mu...
Engineering a multi-agent systems approach for realizing collaborative asset ad...
Leitão, Paulo; Sakurada, Lucas; Prieta Pintado, Fernando De laIn recent years, there has been a high demand for flexible and reconfigurable processes to meet the fast-changing market conditions. In this context, Industry 4.0 is promoting the digitization of traditional production systems towards intelligent factories with highly automated and rapidly adaptable capabilities based on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS). This digitization process is currently being leve...
Agent-based asset administration shell approach for digitizing industrial assets
Sakurada, Lucas; Leitão, Paulo; Prieta Pintado, Fernando De laModern manufacturing systems are facing new challenges related to the fast-changing market conditions, increased global competition and rapid technological developments, imposing strong requirements in terms of flexibility, robustness and reconfigurability. In this context, the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) paradigm relies on digitizing industrial assets to fulfil these requirements. The implementation of this digitizati...
Technology-independent demonstrator for testing industry 4.0 solutions
Lopez, Alejandro; Sakurada, Lucas; Leitão, Paulo; Casquero, Oskar; Estevez, Elisabet; Prieta Pintado, Fernando De la; Marcos, MargaCyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are devoted to be the main participants in Industry 4.0 (I4.0) solutions. In recent years, many authors have focused their efforts on making proposals for the design and implementation of CPS based on different digital technologies. However, the comparative evaluation of these I4.0 solutions is complex, since there is no uniform criterion when it comes to defining the test scenarios...
Co-design process for upskilling the workforce in the factories of the future
Geraldes, Carla A.S.; Fernandes, Florbela P.; Sakurada, Lucas; Rasmussen, Ann Lilith; Bennyson, Rene; Pellegri, Umberto; Leitão, PauloThe digital transformation that the world is facing has a strong impact in the professional occupations and job profiles in the factories of the future context, requiring the need of upskilling and re-qualification of the workforce. Taking this into account, an Industrial Collaborative Educational Design (ICoED) is presented comprising three stages and eight steps, and considering a democratic and collaborative...
Relationship between trends, job profiles, skills and training programs in the ...
Pontes, Joseane; Geraldes, Carla A.S.; Fernandes, Florbela P.; Sakurada, Lucas; Rasmussen, Ann Lilith; Christiansen, Lasse; Hafner-Zimmermann, SabineIndustry 4.0 is promoting the digitisation of manufacturing sectors towards smart products, machines, processes and factories. The adoption of disruptive technologies associated to this industrial revolution is re-shaping the manufacturing environment, decreasing low-skilled activities and increasing high-skill activities. These technological trends are affecting the job profiles and the skills required by the ...
