Shaping the future of IIoT
MPDV as a global player prides itself on being MES experts and shaping the future of MES. In December 2017, Stefan Loelkes, PhD, CSO of MPDV USA participated in an expert panel on “Standards and Architecture in IIoT”, organized by the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC). Here, IIC from the US and Platform Industrie 4.0 from Germany were consolidating their reference architectures IIRA and RAMI4.0 to come to a globally accepted reference architecture. In the panel discussion Loelkes talked with several other experts about the current level in global standardization for IIoT. All participants saw a clear need to establish globally valid standards. In an IIoT environment more and more systems and devices are communicating and it will become even more urgent to avoid interface ruptures by issuing globally valid standards.
During the panel discussion on standards and architecture, it became clear, that global standards are still lacking. In particular, a semantic information model is contained in neither of the two reference architectures, IIRA (IIC) and RAMI 4.0 (Platform Industrie 4.0). However, such models are very important for the future production life. The Manufacturing Integration Platform (MIP) proposed by MPDV offers a suitable solution for this. The MIP will host the digital twin of production and it will offer Manufacturing Apps (mApps) to allow interaction across manufacturers. This allows users to benefit from the needs-based functions of any mApps.
