openMOS

The motivation for the openMOS project is for the European Manufacturing Industry to become increasingly agile in order to compete in the global economy. OEMs need to be able to produce premium quality on demand. openMOS aims to develop of a common, openly accessible plug-and-produce (P&P) system platform which allows all stakeholders in the automation system value chain to come together and jointly develop and exploit solutions. Hence, the openMOS project is proposing to integrate new plug-and-produce system concepts which have emerged in recent years, with well-established industrial-relevant technology platforms.

Having a cloud-based production environment with skill-based abstraction for devices in mind, we summarize the main contribution of fortiss: ​

• Refine the cloud concept to create a system-level architecture, covering detailed interactions between automation devices, the manufacturing service bus, and virtual entities (agents) in the cloud
• Perform technology mapping from the system architecture to state-of-the-art standards in communication and semantic technologiies such as OPC UA, PackML, or DDS
• Implement prototype for skill executors to be integrated in automation devices, in order to support flexible plug and produce
• Active involve in standardization activities to broaden the impact of concepts and architecture proposed by openMOS
