“…PABADIS'PROMISE is a research project that aims to increase the flexibility of manufacturing systems by applying distributed intelligence at all levels of control [12]. To achieve this an agent-based control architecture was developed that shall integrate the field-, factory-and office-level with each other.…”

Although networked embedded devices (NED) and service-oriented architectures (SOA) are often proclaimed as next generation technologies in industrial automation, there are some steps to take before they can be widely adopted. At the moment, productive systems are not SOA-ready and that is why integration approaches are interesting for manufacturers and operators of industrial plants. We suggest a solution for the integration of a legacy system into a so-called SOA for devices. Therefore, we use a thin abstraction layer which provides the technical functions of an industrial plant as re-usable services which can be arranged in control hierarchies and used as well in higher-level workflows. This enables a SOA-based automation with new control and monitoring approaches to be built upon the device services. To evaluate our solution a legacy material flow facility is used

Manufacturing environments are characterized by a multitude of heterogeneous devices, networks, specific protocols and applications. Therefore, static structures, close coupling and vendor-specific solutions have been established over decades. To increase flexibility and interoperability we introduce a service-oriented middleware approach in form of an integration layer between shopfloor equipment and enterprise applications. The integration layer addresses the actual capabilities and data flows on the field and control layer individually. It offers core services that are applicable in several manufacturing domains. We describe a detailed case study to discuss pros and cons of a SOA approach in manufacturing systems and to show the feasibility of our approach.

“…The lack of suitable methods for industrial applications has been noticed by several working groups. The national project AgentAut (Lüder et al, 2006) as well as the European project Pabadis promise (Peschke et al, 2005) work on an integrated method for distributed control systems and focus on the integration of PPC/MES and control level. The European projects SOCRADES (Socrades) and RI-MACS (RI-MACS) use agents to organize the coordination of communication networks between distributed devices.…”
