Abstract

In Sensing, Smart, and Sustainable (S^3) Enterprises information is not only gathered from an internet of production things supporting smart decision making, but this information also allows execute processes automatically. These processes need to be interoperable for sustainable operation while enabling dynamic adaptation. In this paper we present a development framework successfully tested in a European project demonstrating key features of subject-orientation for production process support across the IEC 62264 control hierarchy layers. It aligns business planning and logistics with manufacturing operations and production management, utilizing a communication protocol choreography, message passing and data exchange between production-relevant behavior encapsulations. The overall system is modular and adaptive, where interoperability is supported through process models.
