DESCRIPTION
The Service-oriented Architecture (SoA) design concept is an evolution of previous approaches to warp and encapsulate data processing while the how and where the data is processed become transparent for the service consumer. The main advantages of SoA with respect to previous efforts reside on the well- established set of XML-based open standards for defining concepts such as: the description of the service, the communication among the services, and the discovering and connection between the services. The automation of production systems is becoming a software-intensive task, and therefore, is facing even more integration issues to those already identified in the early 80s and 90s. It is expected than the deployment of SoA via different approaches such as DPWS (Device Profile for Web Services) or OPC-UA (OPC-Unified Architecture) at the Factory Floor will relax these integration tasks. This presentation will provide the views on how to capitalize Information Infrastructures deployed as SoA by creating a Factory InfoStore, which in a way reassembles the concepts of the Stores for Applications of the consumer electronics business. It will stress the possibilities for introducing new actors for the production automation business, and also the potential utilization of the concept by SMEs.TRANSCRIPT

Service-oriented Architecture
• A Service is a software interface that encapsulates the functionality of a device or process
• Service-Oriented Architecture (SoA)– Service provider
– Service requestor
– Service broker
• The Service Broker is the mechanism for publishing and locating providers of a process

Service Interface
• Web Services– Ethernet and IP networks
– XML and SOAP
• Described by WSDL– Web Service Description Language
– XML request and response messages
DPWS stack
Web Services in Devices
• A service encapsulates a controlled process– Discrete operation
– A controlled and measurable change in the environment
• Varying granularity of services– From basic operations...
• E.g. a servo-translation
– ... to complex processes• E.g. a pick-and-place operation
• Complex processes can be– An orchestrated composition of basic operations
– An encapsulation of a legacy equipment
Web Services and Integration
• Same technology:– low-level devices
– machines
– factory information systems
– enterprise information systems
• Seamless vertical integration of heterogeneous elements
• Flexible information systems:– System architecture dictated by requirements, not by technology
Semantic Web Services OverviewMotivation• Desire to quickly (re)configure manufacturing systems
• Large variety and complexity of– Available services
– Required orchestrations
• Automate (partially) the engineering processes of selecting and composing services

The Concept of Factory Application
Some Benefits
• New potential biz opportunities for SMEs as producers of Factory Applications:– Encapsulation of their known how– Potential new solutions based on non-direct
information
• Benefits for SMEs as users of the Factory Applications:– Tailor made solutions– Transparent IT infrastructure (potentially
outsource to the cloud)
