Giving Camel to Artifacts for Industry 4.0 Integration Challenges

Abstract

Interoperability is a key factor of Cyber-Physical System (CPS) concept. Based on studies that use Multi-Agent System (MAS) as the core of a CPS, we are proposing to model many resources of the factories following the well-known Agents and Artifacts model for integrating agents and their environment. To enhance the interoperability of this system, we use the Apache Camel framework, a middleware to define routes to integrate a wide range of endpoints using different protocols. In this paper, we are demonstrating our camel component for artifacts in the context of Industry 4.0.
