Digitization of industrial processes has enabled access to production data from external entities within the supply chain. While interoperability standards and protocols support data integration, horizontally and vertically, within the factory, the design of production integration solutions often are not performed adequately. This paper presents the Unified Hub for Smart Plants (UH4SP) system and its related use case within Industry 4.0 and »Connected Smart Plants». The UH4SP uses technologies such as cloud computing, internet of things, microservices and API gateways, to address data integration and collaborative processes between plants, corporative groups, and third-party entities.
