NIST/OAGi Workshop: Drilling Down on Smart Manufacturing-Enabling Composable Apps

Abstract:

We live in the age of Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS)–a new generation of advanced systems on the production floor, in the enterprise, in the supply chain, and enabled by the convergence of information and communication technologies with physical technologies. The exciting vision of providing these SMS capabilities as services within a Service-Oriented Manufacturing (SOM) paradigm continues to be of great interest to industry. For more than a decade, SOM, in its many instantiations, has been carrying the promise of bringing greater efficiencies in operating and managing advanced manufacturing technologies and systems. Within its current instantiation, software is available in small “apps” or “services.” The software may be a cyberphysical service allowing easy connectivity to and information gathering from physical assets. In addition, some of these apps and services are available on a pay-as-you-go basis (eg, Software-as-a-Service) lowering the barrier for access to these technologies. Manufacturers access these apps and services from various vendors as downloadable components or cloud-accessible services. The current vision for SOM is that these services will be assembled and re-configured easily and economically to execute complex workflow processes. The realization of this goal–Low-Cost SOM-based SMS–promises to lower technical and cost barriers for manufacturers significantly.
