FUTURE MANUFACTURING
development and operation of many interfaces are expensive , complex and difficult to monitor . Especially now when further networking becomes increasingly more important in the near future . After all , 90 percent of companies state that they have a need for interoperable interfaces . Their development is fundamentally required to realize use cases such as overall equipment effectiveness ( OEE ), traceability , digital twins , and energy data management .
On the other hand , companies that use a manufacturing service bus to orchestrate their data , reap the benefits of highperformance , future-proof their software and enterprise architectures :
● Scarce resources , especially personnel , can be used more efficiently according to their core competencies .
● Companies retain their data sovereignty . They can decide for themselves what data goes where .
● The focus shifts from technical implementation to the efficient design of business processes .
● By orchestrating the data in edge , enterprise , and cloud environments , companies can leverage additional potential of the digital transformation .
Global standards for comprehensive data economy
Experience shows that the Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture ( OPC-UA ) standard has recently established itself as the industry ' s technical quasi-standard . With the OPC-UA Companion Specifications , semantic information models of technical assets are all provided today . Machines and systems are then addressed by orchestration software via the standardized management shell , and Asset Administration Shell ( AAS ). In simplified terms , the administration shell is a data connector , where all information about an asset can be read and written . The administration shell and OPC-UA are prerequisites for the plug & play compatible implementation of use cases such as the integration of manufacturing execution systems , condition monitoring or predictive maintenance .
Integrating businesses through application concepts tailored to their needs
Augsburg-based Soffico GmbH has been designing solution architectures for enterprise-wide data orchestration in manufacturing companies since 2011 . The company uses a manufacturing service bus solution for this purpose . Since then , it has succeeded in networking a greenfield production facility in the area of composites manufacturing and implementing a globally deployed data integration layer for a glass and glass ceramics manufacturer . And in addition to that , the Augsburgbased company was able to establish and started operating on a connected smart factory for a leading company in the precision mechanics and optics industry . In almost all cases , the company had to consider and implement regulatory requirements , such as Good Manufacturing Practice ( GMP ). l
