Abstract

Software architectures have long been touted as a major requirement to accurately recreate software and network set-ups that line up with best practices, proper functioning of protocols and coding structures by software developers. The burst of expansion in Industry 4.0 has resulted in many new technologies and therefore requires a re-evaluation of current software architectures. This paper looks at software architectures which are currently used within Smart Manufacturing and analytically compares them to each other. The aim of the paper is to outline the shortcomings of the existing software architectures with respect to their ability to be incorporated for Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing communication. This paper goes on to propose a new software architecture which addresses some key concerns and concludes by making a comparison of the proposed software architecture with the ones in use currently. The experiments that garnered these results were conducted in a Smart Manufacturing Laboratory, which has produced several key results in this research niche area.
