Abstract

The purpose of the Industry 4.0 initiative is to bring together IT technologies and production processes to enable the emergence of smart, connected manufacturing. Integration is, however, a complex activity that requires rethought in the context of manufacturing. Indeed, new, challenging requirements are emerging, such as dynamicity, heterogeneity, or autonomicity. Here, the authors present Cilia, a mediation middleware designed for smart manufacturing. Cilia is based on service-oriented components. It provides dynamic and autonomic features, allowing great flexibility at runtime with minimum human intervention. The authors also apply a real use case that involves supervision and maintenance of pumping stations.
