“…Furthermore, some software providers might not be inclined to reveal their software code due to industrial secrets. Other solutions could be redesigning these systems in a more modular way and providing them as modular software services, such as currently popular microservices architecture (Bigheti et al ., 2019), that can be easily integrated with other software services. We believe that the second solution is more suitable for the remote integration of AMTs in cyber-physical production systems.…”

PurposeThe study examines the remote integration process of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) into the production system and identifies key challenges and mitigating actions for a smoother introduction and integration process.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts a case study approach to a cyber-physical production system at an industrial technology center using a mobile robot as an AMT.FindingsBy applying the plug-and-produce concept, the study exemplifies an AMT's remote integration process into a cyber-physical production system in nine steps. Eleven key challenges and twelve mitigation actions for remote integration are described based on technology–organization–environment theory. Finally, a remote integration framework is proposed to facilitate AMT integration into production systems.Practical implicationsThe study presents results purely from a practical perspective, which could reduce dilemmas in early decision-making related to smart production. The proposed framework can improve flexibility and decrease the time needed to configure new AMTs in existing production systems.Originality/valueThe area of remote integration for AMT has not been addressed in depth before. The consequences of lacking in-depth studies for remote integration imply that current implementation processes do not match the needs and the existing situation in the industry and often underestimate the complexity of considering both technological and organizational issues. The new integrated framework can already be deployed by industry professionals in their efforts to integrate new technologies with shorter time to volume and increased quality but also as a means for training employees in critical competencies required for remote integration.

“…Another possible area for future research would be the adaptation of this proposal to other sectors of industry 4.0 (e.g., smart buildings or tourism) [8,[129][130][131][132]; however, additional research is needed to obtain sufficient results to demonstrate the robustness of the architecture in terms of the adaptations of the attributes for these sectors. Our findings will be published in the near future.…”

Evaluating Service-Oriented and Microservice Architecture Patterns to Deploy eHealth Applications in Cloud Computing Environment

et al. 2021

This article proposes a new framework for a Cloud-based eHealth platform concept focused on Cloud computing environments, since current and emerging approaches using digital clinical history increasingly demonstrate their potential in maintaining the quality of the benefits in medical care services, especially in computer-assisted clinical diagnosis within the field of infectious diseases and due to the worsening of chronic pathologies. Our objective is to evaluate and contrast the performance of the architectural patterns most commonly used for developing eHealth applications (i.e., service-oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices architecture (MSA)), using as reference the quantitative values obtained from the various performance tests and their ability to adapt to the required software attribute (i.e., versatile high-performance). Therefore, it was necessary to modify our platform to fit two architectural variants. As a follow-up to this activity, corresponding tests were performed that showed that the MSA variant functions better in terms of performance and response time compared to the SOA variant; however, it consumed significantly more bandwidth than SOA, and scalability in SOA is generally not possible or requires significant effort to be achieved. We conclude that the implementation of SOA and MSA depends on the nature and needs of organizations (e.g., performance or interoperability).

“…O conceito de serviços permite que elementos que compõem uma aplicação possam ser clientes ou servidores, a depender da necessidade do processo, e que haja interação, baseada em troca de mensagens, entre quaisquer elementos dos níveis hierárquicos de um processo industrial (Moraes, 2017). A arquitetura SOA também permite que qualquer aplicação industrial, no contexto de IIoT e I4.0, possa ser rapidamente composta pela seleção e combinação de novos serviços e funcionalidades disponibilizadas como um serviço em nuvem (Bigheti, Fernandes, Godoy, 2019).…”

“…Nesse sentido, um paradigma recente tem sido a automação colaborativa através do compartilhamento de serviços, obtendo uma arquitetura flexível, escalável e integrada à rede (Delsing, 2017). A Arquitetura Orientada a Serviços (SOA -Service Oriented Architecture) permite o fornecimento de serviços em nuvem alocados em diferentes dispositivos, gateways ou sistemas, facilitando e padronizando as interações entre eles, podendo assim ser considerada um caminho promissor para os desafios da implantação da I4.0 (Bigheti, Fernandes, Godoy, 2019).…”

A Indústria 4.0 (I4.0) surge como a evolução dos sistemas produtivos, com o objetivo de viabilizar e padronizar o acesso às informações dos diversos equipamentos pelos sistemas de gerenciamento e de tomada de decisões, conduzindo ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias flexíveis e interoperáveis. Uma tendência para promover essa interoperabilidade têm sido a adoção de arquiteturas orientadas a serviços (SOA) e da Computação em Nuvem na I4.0. Diante desse contexto, este trabalho propõe uma nova abordagem para o uso de Controladores Lógico Programáveis (CLP) como um serviço com foco em aplicações de automação e controle na I4.0. Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento dos microserviços CLP e Visualização (Dashboard), os quais podem ser executados em diferentes plataformas como computadores, sistemas embarcados e em nuvem. Um experimento de controle de uma planta industrial usando os microserviços é discutida e comprova a aplicabilidade da proposta. Os métodos e tecnologias utilizados no desenvolvimento deste trabalho são apresentados, bem como demonstradas as vantagens dessa abordagem de uso do CLP.
