FASTEN: an IoT platform for manufacturing. Embraer use case

Abstract

FASTEN is an H2020 project under a bilateral call UE-Brazil. It aims to advance IoT and IoT enabled applications to support Industry 4.0 concepts, namely in the area of automation and additive manufacturing. The project results will be demonstrated through two pilots: one in Brazil, lead by a ThyssenKrupp use case, and the other in Europe, at Embraer facilities in Portugal. The detail on the Embraer use case, on pick’n’place automation, predictive and prescriptive analytics and assembly line simulation are described as FASTEN architecture and approach.

FASTEN: EU-Brazil cooperation in IoT for manufacturing. The Embraer use

“…Embraer use case was described at length in [4]. For sake of brevity, the main features and goals are described summarized below.…”

“…These pilots will test the developed solutions and technologies in an representative operational context, accelerating their understanding, and contribute to the adoption of common standards and architectures. This paper is a follow up of previous [4], presenting high level intermediate results of the FASTEN project related to Embraer Use case and mainly an addressing the exploitation of the experience between Europe and Brazil.…”

An IIoT-based architecture for decision support in the aeronautic industry

“…The IIoT platform reference architecture, in figure 2, is based on the RAMI 4.0 (Reference Architectural Mode for Industrie 4.0) [23]. This architecture supports collaboration and integration with other relevant initiatives by framing the developed concepts and technologies in a common model and is part of the FASTEN project development [24]. [23] and the FASTEN IIoT Platform [24] The FASTEN open reference architecture specifies different functional components and their interfaces.…”

[23] and the FASTEN IIoT Platform [24] The FASTEN open reference architecture specifies different functional components and their interfaces. It has two alternative brokers to connect the components: a Kafka broker, on the Apache lane, and an Orion Context broker, on the FIWARE lane.…”

Competitiveness and R&D Subsidies: The Case of the Industry 4.0 Program in Portugal

“…However, when searching for TITLE-ABS-KEY ("industry 4.0" AND "Portugal") on the Scopus database, we found 60 documents, of which only four address the Industry 4.0 Program in Portugal (Faria et al, 2022;Nowacki, 2021;Santa Rita et al, 2022;Savu & Dumitrescu, 2021). Other articles focus on specific enabling technol-ogies such as the work of Dias et al (2022) and Reis et al (2018), or even specific sectors such as the research of Sá et al (2021) and Simões et al (2022). This way, it is possible to say that there is a lack of studies on Industry 4.0 that provide empirical evidence on the effects on competitive performance through government subsidies, which constitutes a theoretical gap to be filled with this empirical research.…”
