Software for Integration of Manufacturing Resources in the Hybrid Cloud Model for Industry 4.0

Abstract

In the paper, the authors presented a new model of software development for the implementation of a service supporting the design and manufacturing process intended mainly for Industry 4.0. This model is based on distributed resources which integration and control occurs using centralized components. This approach has enabled the development of a hybrid cloud model that combines the advantages of centralized and distributed processing. Thanks to this, there is easy access to individual tools and devices used in the design and manufacturing process, which collection in one place is very limited or even impossible. The developed model guarantees many benefits. Among other things, it shortens the time necessary for the implementation of design and production tasks. This is done by controlling and coordinating partial tasks as well as assigning IT and production tools necessary for their implementation. Therefore, it is possible to ensure cooperation of independent components within broadly understood IoT infrastructure.
