“…[33].The RAMI4.0 documentation includes a classification of system components based on their Capability and Presentation, see Figure2. Only components with a classification of CP24, CP34 or CP44 are Industry 4.0 components as they can communicate and are "administered as an entity"[33].…”

The research presented in this paper looks at evaluating RAMI4.0, a Research Architecture (RA) designed for Industry 4.0, through the representation of an existing Cyber-Physical System's (CPSs) key functionality. The use case represented is that of a UK firm refurbishing End of Life (EoL) IT devices for business clients. EoL refurbishment is a domain with many complexities due to an inherent business model which results in varying quantities, types and conditions of received devices. These uncertainties can generally not be addressed until the devices have arrived in the facility and are inspected. RAs are an important tool used in system development to represent functionality, this representation should be high level and allow the easy communication of key concepts for not only client-to-developers and developer-to-developer but also either to an audience. An appropriate RA will help industrialists to understand what Industry 4.0 means to them (i.e. increased flexibility and control) and the functionality of any system potentially being invested in. The results of this research included two proposals for the extension of RAMI4.0 regarding the representation of security and humans within the systems. While Industry 4.0 focusses on CPSs this work also makes a further recommendation that the focus of modelling should be shifted to Cyber-Physical Human Systems (CPHSs) to ensure correct consideration of the humans within the system.

“…This makes it not only useful for industrial sectors, due to incorporating appropriate reference frameworks, but makes digital interventions more likely to succeed by grounding the company's (and stakeholders') knowledge of their own legacy systems, processes and business entities at the forefront of the participatory approach. This appears as a clear solution to the challenges discussed by Frysak et al and Ferreira et al [9,10].…”

The Role of Digital Maturity Assessment in Technology Interventions with Industrial Internet Playground

The use of digital technologies such as Internet of Things and advanced data analytics are central in digitally transforming manufacturing companies towards Industry 4.0. Success cases are frequently reported, and there is clear evidence of technology interventions conducted by industry. However, measuring the impact and effect of such interventions on digital maturity and on the organizational adoption can be challenging. Therefore, the research aim of this paper is to explore how the combination of the different methods of Industrial Internet Playground (IIP) pilots, Shadow Infrastructure (SI) and digital maturity assessment can assist in conducting and documenting the technical, as well as organisational, impact of digital interventions. Through an elaborate literature review of existing digital maturity assessment tools and key dimensions in digital transformation, we have developed a digital maturity assessment tool (DMAT), which is presented and applied in the paper to identify digital development areas and to evaluate and document the effects of digital interventions. Thus, the paper contributes with new knowledge of how the IIP pilot and SI combined with digital maturity assessment can support effective, transparent and documented digital transformation throughout an organisation, as explored through theory and a practice case.

“…In the vertical layers, asset and integration layers derived from Smart Grid Architecture (SGAM) represent the separation of the physical from the immaterial information world, while the communication layer is involved with network building. A basic communication protocol is required to provide a general basis for transporting different higher-level protocols over the network [27]. There exist many standardisations which enable devices and applications to exchange information in an interoperable way [28].…”

With the emergence of Industry 4.0, digitalization and intelligent manufacturing are vital to ensure competitivity, especially for manufacturers reliant on legacy machines. Upgrading legacy machines with cyber physical technology under Industry 4.0 frameworks can enable connection of these machines to existing IoT networks to allow the sharing and exchange of production information. In this paper, a legacy machine used in sheet metal folding operations is upgraded by integrating switch sensors which provide detailed data on the machine status to stakeholders, enabling in-depth analysis of the production activity before and after the implementation of lean manufacturing methods. Furthermore, it is shown that the data collected can be applied to conduct dynamic value stream mapping (DVSM) in near real time to provide deeper level insight into manufacturing processes. More detailed mapping enables identification of wastes involved with labour and design. Therefore, an innovative graphical technique is proposed to improve the flattened pattern to reduce manual handling and ease bottlenecks identified by VSM. From the collected VSM data, a leanness measure was established to provide objective and quantitative evaluation of the process performance.
