Presentation Abstract
The Industrial Internet of Things has been hyped to take manufacturing into a new era; the German Industrie 4.0 initiative, NNMI in the US and 2025 goals in China are all aligned on the target of agile and smart manufacturing. Our current manufacturing systems have not changed much in the last 20 years and we are still using paper and pencil in many of our processes. There are many advanced technologies we can bring to bear today to help us along that path, but we still need to build the foundations to enable these advancements. Manufacturing requires special consideration for an IIOT system; an approach that does not take into consideration the context of the manufacturing process will not be able to transform the data from the equipment and sensors into actionable information. The solution is to build a standards based interoperable platform that allows services to fuse semantic data from multiple sources to provide the foundation for accelerated innovation in smart manufacturing. Will Sobel will discuss how this is a model for the new product and services to come and how this will enable outcome and intent based self-aware manufacturing systems.
