Smart Manufacturing Systems

Blockchain is going to be the most fundamental technology, and will change the world — going forward. In fact, the revolution has already begun. The birth of Industry 4.0 aka the Fourth Industrial Relution (I4.0), has created a need for autonomous and integrated, secure manufacturing systems. The current smart systems lack the decentralized decision making and real-time communication infrastructure, which is a condition for adaptive, smart manufacturing systems. In this paper, an autonomous, secure and collaborative platform based on Blockchain technology, is presented to adapt to such results. In support with Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud services, a Blockchain Driven Cyber Physical Production System (BDCPS) architecture is designed to communicate with machines, users, devices, suppliers and other peers. Using the Smart Contracts feature and trust-less peer-to-peer decentralized ledger feature, BDCPS will validate the claim with a small-scale real-life Blockchain with IoT system. This implementation case study will be running a private Blockchain on a single board computer, and bridged to a microcontroller containing IoT sensors. The applications of this system in automotive manufacturing industry are presented, to proceed towards Industry 4.0.

Hybrid Cloud Service Level Agreements (SLA) comprises of the legal terms and conditions for the cloud contract. Even though all the service level objectives, metrics and service descriptions are clearly outlined in the cloud SLA contract, sometimes vendors fail to meet the promised services and confusing terms lead to tenant-vendor cloud legal battles. Hybrid Cloud involves two different cloud models (public and private) working together, applications running under the hybrid cloud are subject to different availability sets, functionality and parameters developing SLA complexity and ambiguity. The new manufacturing environment (Industry 4.0 concept) is based on a fully connected, intelligent and automated factory, which will highly be dependent on cloud computing and IoT-based solutions for data analytics, storage and computational needs. In situations where Hybrid cloud services are not defined and managed properly may result in Industrial-IoT data security issues leading to financial and data losses. This paper discusses various aspects of the cloud service level agreement in Industry 4.0 for better understanding and implementation and puts a light on the issues that arise out of imprecise statements.

The pillars of Industry 4.0 require the integration of a modern smart factory, data storage in the Cloud, access to the Cloud for data analytics, and information sharing at the software level for simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) capabilities. The resulting cyber-physical system (CPS) is often termed the cyber-physical manufacturing system, and it has become crucial to cope with this increased system complexity and to attain the desired performances. However, since a great number of old production systems are based on monolithic architectures with limited external communication ports and reduced local computational capabilities, it is difficult to ensure such production lines are compliant with the Industry 4.0 pillars. A wireless sensor network is one solution for the smart connection of a production line to a CPS elaborating data through cloud computing. The scope of this research work lies in developing a modular software architecture based on the open service gateway initiative framework, which is able to seamlessly integrate both hardware and software wireless sensors, send data into the Cloud for further data analysis and enable both HIL and cloud computing capabilities. The CPS architecture was initially tested using HIL tools before it was deployed within a real manufacturing line for data collection and analysis over a period of two months.
